You guys will be surprised but so many people have downloaded my NFSU with Kazaa. I have spent over about 2 whole months just uploading solely it almost 24/7. And it is hogging up all of my bandwidth, but they are newbies, and they don't know about Bit Torrent. I try to tell them, but most people block incoming messages. Anyone using Bit Torrent can get it, but these newbies don't know about Bit Torrent. So if I stop uploading it, they will have a difficult time getting it. And most don't even visit the forum, so they are completely unaware of the "underground network." Either way, they are lost. Thus, my message above is to try to catch and save those per chance that comes my way. So you guys should help me spread the message, not poke fun at it. Hehe. Anyway, please let me know if this message help you ok. Give me some support, or else I am not going to try to help anymore newbies, including uploading the freaking NFSU. Hehe. (Disregard this last bit about stopping helping out. Just kidding.)

dumass n00bs (not you pleaseshare, i'm talking about the hardcore n00bs that don't know jack shit and always use kazaa for their "gaming needs'.)

i try to be helpful and they say "bullshit, bittorrent is full of viruses" dumass, like kazaa isn't? i swear to god, you try to help ppl out these days and their response is don't let the door hit you on the way out, sad news for you n00bs, the door swings both ways bitches

anything over 10megs i download off BT (because im a 56ker B) ), ESPECIALLY games, movies, etc.

Sorry, but any P2P only goes as fast as the uploader, hence one can't be faster than another just working on that like you said.

Testing Kazaa with T3 and testing BT with 56k isn't fair, is what I'm basically saying.

Kazaa is mostly fast for me 95% of the time. I use kazaaIgnite with kazaa and it speeds the downloads up quick. I can't find a working link for kazaaIgnite but im glad I saved the file for it on disk just incase something happens to my PC. Im a member of the suprnova forums and there not as good as the kazaa lite forums.....there boring over there.

In regards to Kazaa vs. Bit Torrent (BT) speeds, let me explain why BT is faster than Kazaa.

You are right that your download is as fast as your uploads. Thus, if you only have a 56k modem, you can download at a max of about 5 to 6kb/s. Because your downloading speed is so slow, it is not too hard to find enough sources to upload for smaller files or larger files with a lot of sources. For the rarer sources, like that of a big application or game, you may or most likely not be able to find enough sources to keep you running at 5-6kb/s 24/7. For someone with a faster connection like my cable modem, where I can download in the order of hundreds of kb/s, I am limited by the number of uploads. And most of the time for these rarer sources, I can find enough sources for downloading that fast, and certainly not anywhere near 24/7. I would be happy if i can download as fast as my upload, which is only 37.5kb/s, which would still be faster than my downloading speed on kazaa with these rarer sources. Thus a fast connection isn't fully used on kazaa.

With these rarer sources, supposed there is only one source, someone would have to download the whole entire file on kazaa before one can share it. But Kazaa never upload to just one person, it always upload to many people--too many. Thus it would take a month before you would get a complete copy. Then you find out that the copy has an error. Damn, back to square one.

With BT, you can share partially downloaded files. Thus, if someone uploads a half to you and a half to me, they would only upload once, and we both can upload to each other at the same time. Thus, this uploading person only has to upload once, and we can upload the rest from each other. Thus, our downloading speed also depends on your uploading speed and my downloading speed.

If there are three downloaders instead of two as above downloading from one uploader, this uploader only has to upload a third to each one of us. He still only upload once, and we just share the different parts among ourselves again. Again, our downloading speed depends on each of our uploading speed.

Thus, the original source only has to upload once no matter how many downloaders there are. And the more downloaders there are, the faster the downloading is actually because the uploading speed among the downloaders tend to add up. I know this is theoretical, and the actual downloading is a little slower than in theory because the size of the chunk being transferred also plays a role in the time--the bigger the chunk size, the slower, since kazaa's chunk size is the whole file, the speed is notoriously slow, hehe.

I know how you feel about kazaa and other P2P. Believe me, I was there. After trying Emule, Overnet, Edonkeys, and ShareAza, I was so skeptical about BT. It took me a good whole two months of urging from our fellow peers here before I finally tried it with a "oh what the hell--outlook."

To my surprised, BT is really much faster, and the files are error-free so far, hehe. BT checks for hash integreity and redownloads any bad hashes--thank god. I can download a big game in the order of 2 Gig in about 1 day, unbelievable, who hoo, whoopie doo.

Oh yes I have gotten one infected file so far, but my scanner took car of it, thank god again. These viruses are everywhere.

But best of all (yes I am a big Kazaa lover), you can still use Kazaa, even when you are using BT. How much better can one get?

I have to admit, BT does have its downfalls though. Some uploading link files are bad and doesn't work and it does take some time before they are fixed, but they are only a minority, thank god again, hehe. BT don't have as many varieties as kazaa for common smaller files, but just use kazaa for that.

There, I don't want to see anyone else downloading my NFSU on Kazaa, because it is slow and futile. But I still upload it just so I know how many people out there who aren't aware of BT.

Help me spread the words about BT ok guys.

hmm I have cable but it just seems that KL will usually download at 200kb with over 50 sharers. BT will only go 200kb if it has less then 50 downloaders...

[TheFilePirater]

its sooooooooo funny to see n00bs think kazaa is the best, when everyone here knows it the worst NOW!!

YES I SAID NOW, i have to admit it was pretty good b4 RIAA wanted it to stop, now i cant handle having to fix all the bad frames in movies i d/l

[judgeofallandnothing]

hmm... i didnt refer to it as best... i said it wasnt "shit" as someone else called it. and also I havent gotten a broken frame in 3 months from movies i downloaded
