[*]once u stop the search, if the file u want has a lot of resources, the click on the plus sign[*]highlight the highest bw user, right click and "find more for this user"

nikita,

I was wondering if you could clarify this part a bit: what exactly does "find more for this user" do? I realize that it's supposed to make things faster somehow, but I don't understand how it does this.

Please note that sometime you may need to try several of these tips to get to a solution.

1. KL++ RELATED
   1. Privacy Protection - IMPORTANT
      Are you afraid of the entertainment industry? Does your country have stupid copyright laws? You don't share because you are afraid you get caught for doing so? The newest versions of Kazaa Lite (2.10 build 3 and newer) have the solution for you! It is now possible to prevent other people from listing your shared files (find more from same user). Go to Options -> More Options. There you can enable the option to prevent people from listing your shared files.
      There is just one little downside to this, because it may let people think that you are not sharing any files. But for some people privacy is what counts. Enabling the option doesn't mean that you don't share files anymore! People just can't list your shared files anymore. In fact more people should be able to start sharing because of this. 5 Reasons Not To Be Afraid Of The Riaa - Proxy Servers (thx PAUL) - For A L L That Use P2p Or Share Files, The Time Is Now - It Must End (EFF) - Using Proxies With Kazaa (kl++) thx REALITY
   2. Working Urls For The Main Website
   3. Working Urls for the DOWNLOAD site - IMPORTANT

   5. Online KL++ FAQ - Downloadable F.A.Q (right-click and 'save target as&#39 - IMPORTANT
   6. New(bie) F.a.q - IMPORTANT-thx sharedholder
   7. How To Post Verifieds, Sig2Dat and K-Sig Tutorials - IMPORTANT-thx Paul
   8. Strange Sound, Screeching Songs - IMPORTANT
   9. Can't Connect? - TRY HERE, OR HERE, OR HERE
   10. Only 1 User Online? - TRY HERE
   11. .dat file problem? - TRY HERE
   12. Are there any MAJOR bugs with the latest KL++ version?

This software is a specialized kind of email server software. Unlike average email server which goes to great lengths to log all incoming/outgoing traffic and add identifying and traceable info to its outgoing mail (in the form of headers) remailer software ensures that outgoing mail has been STRIPPED CLEAN of any identifying information! Thus the name 'anonymous' remailer"

HOW TO TEST WHY YOU CAN ONLY DOWNLOAD FROM ONE USER?

1. Drop any firewalls, exit completely
2. Close Peer Guardian and alike
3. Leave ONLY your Anti-Virus running
4. Do a port change again in KL++. Go to 65000 for now and see if it helps. It does incredible things for me
5. Do not block bad IP ranges- this is temporary, for testing purposes
6. Don't disable 1214
7. Change max uploads to 3
8. Change downloads to 6, increase this slowly if you get results
9. No extra idle bandwidth
10. Turn off Auto Search
11. Now do a search for shania twain- yeah whatever, but there are a million sources!
12. Let the search run for at least 2 minutes
13. Stop the search and select a variety of those results with medium bandwidth and bitrate. about 20 different files for now, both video and audio
14. Open a command prompt with NetScan Pro 3.3 installed
15. Enable logging in NetScan Pro 3.3
16. Close and reopen NetScan
17. Now view logs if there are any active connections showing.
18. Get any remote IP's and in the command prompt, type netstat -s 5 to show statistics. do a copy save for future refference
19. If you're familiar with ping, use the command prompt. If not, get a copy of PCS Network Tools by O'Reilly and enter the IP's shown in the NetScan Pro logs. try the ping 3 times for each one and record results
20. If you have NeoTrace, do a trace route on each IP that connects. record the hops info and ping times, packet loss
21. If you still aren't getting connections, It's time to go into the dats for IP info and follow the ping and traces above
22. If none of this helps "get" sources, at least you'll have the stats needed to properly analyze what's happening and we can go from there.

Select the option of "Delete all Kazaa Lite registry keys before installing [This will reset all settings to DEFAULT]"

You forget some things ,just take a look.

How to clean install Kazaa Lite K++
Why did I throw this together? I've had to explain a clean install so many times lately...so from now on I will just refer to this thread, I suggest others do to to save time, and keep a uniform way of clean installing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why clean install? It can fix many problems with kazaa, for instance if you are getting error messages, or kazaa will refuse to start. It is also a good idea to clean install with every new version, you could just install over an older version, but this will sometimes cause problems, I recommend a clean install
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I perform a clean install?

1). Back up all downloaded files, and partially downloaded .dat files (I would recommend copying them to your desktop until K-lite is reinstalled)

2). Uninstall kazaa lite completely through the ad/remove programs thing in the control panel

3). Delete the programs folder (usually C:\Program Files\Kazaa Lite)
4). Clean all traces of K-Lite from the registry using a program like RegCleaner (WARNING, editing the registry can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, make sure to USE YOUR HEAD, if you removed something you didn't want to, don't worry, just use the back up in this program)

5). Do a virus and spyware scan using the latest deffenitions, remove offending files (Spybot) (AdAware)

6). Go to www.k-lite.tk and download the latest NON BETA version of Kazaa Lite K++

7). Make sure nothing else is running on your computer (like other file sharing applications), then install with the settings you like

8). Copy downloads back to downloads folder (usually C:\My Shared Folder)
That should do it, hopefully....

HOW TO DOWNLOAD FASTER? (example 2)

1. Open KaZaa Lite.
2. Open KaZuperNodes
3. Press F6 for Favorites
4. Highlight ALL IPs and click "Delete"
5. Press F5 for KaZaa Supernode List
6. Click "Check Status"
7. Upon completion, sort by Status
8. Highlight ONLY the IPs with "Supernode" status
9. Press Ctrl+F for "Add to Favorites"
10. Click "Check Status"
11. Upon completion, sort by Status
12. Highlight and delete any IP that does not have "Supernode" status
13. Sort by "Response Time"
14. Delete any supernode that has a response time of higher than ZERO
15. Click to "Localize"
16. Sort by Country, State or City
17. Hold down the Shift key while pressing "Connect to new Supernode" (this step allows you to switch supernodes without disconnecting your downloads/uploads)
18. Go back to KaZaa Lite and check the speed of your downloads
19. If it's faster, then go to KaZuperNodes, highlight that IP and Press CTRL+L to add to your "SuperList"
20. Make sure you save the "SuperList" and next time you want to another IP to to that "SuperList", open the file first
21. If it's not fast enough for YOU, then jump to another supernode until you find the fastest for YOU

The following steps are another or additional tips to maintain those "Favorite/SuperList" supernodes (please note that it can be tedious to maintain):

1. Add the fastest Supernodes, from above, found from the nearest location to YOU to Favorites or SuperList and export IPs and name them "My Best SN.kzn or .kzf" format
2. The following day, load "My Best SN" file and check their status
3. Delete the "Unknown" IPs
4. Leave the IP's with "Client" status, because in most cases they will come around again to become "Supernode"
5. Continue doing the above steps for couple or more days
6. After that, you would have a list of Supernodes who are in most cases up most if not all the times
7. Continue to update it every-now-and-then

Note: The following steps are based on the latest KaZupernodes version
Note to KaZuperNodes programmers: Use the above steps as an example to eliminate most of these steps by adding them to context menu or shortcut
