How Long Do You Have Kazaa Lite Running Each Day?

[VB]

I on average 10 hours a day.

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

:D Keep them polls coming Paul. :D

[random nut]

25 hours a day, but only once a year.

[CornerPocket]

me 1-2 hrs during the week, nearly all day/night on weekends, so files I have can be spread throughout the kazaalite community :D

[sim one]

I'm on a dialup connection and I like to dl large files (games and movies etc) so I d/l them overnight. I usually set it to go before I go to bed and disconnect when I get up. I also leave it on if there's no one at home.
If I had broadband, it would probably be on 24/7.
Damn I want a broadband connection.

[lynx]

My usage is about the same as sim one.
And my feelings about the same re broadband.

Gosh, I just realised I only registered my interest in broadband in July 1999. What can I be thinking of ?

[dragon_son1]

I would say between 6 and 20 hours depending on what i want.

you crazy, man. It would be much cheaper, and legal, to actually buy LOTR. 5 days = 7,200 minutes. How much do they charge you a minute?

[sim one]

How much do they charge you a minute?
My connection costs me $20/month with no d/l limits. The only problem is that I get kicked off every 4 hours, but I've got my pc on auto dial if connection drops.
What really sucks is if you download a fake.

[the flinger]

used to be on 42/7, but then i realized that my laptopo was getting damaged by heat. acutally, i learned that, not realized. whatever.

so now its around 6 hours

[Infested Cats]

24/7 - with the occasional reboot/defrag.

What you said :D

[_frootloop_]

Same as the Lord of the Rings guy ...... at the moment I am 3/4 way thru d/l and big ISO file (750MB) and I only have 22 hours to go!! I guess having Upload activated slows me down some too.

Other than for this one massive upload, and one other, usually just a coupla hours a day to get some MP3s.

_frootloop_

[_frootloop_]

Same as the Lord of the Rings guy ...... 56KB, but usually get a reasonable speed. At the moment I am 3/4 way thru d/l a big ISO file (750MB, NOT split!) and I only have 22 hours to go!! I guess having Upload activated slows me down some too.

Other than for this one massive upload, and one other, usually just a coupla hours a day to get some MP3s now I have most of the other stuff I wanted when I first subscribed.

[KazaaSearch]

I never turn Kazaa off on my business computer :D :D :D
So it's like 24 hours a day 30 days per month 12 months per year :D
Until I get fired when caught doing this :blink:
And I share 30 GB (used to be almost 50 GB) of excellent music, both ripped from my cds and dlded from others.
I never share programs or porn - both seem to be dangerous in some sense <_<

[Matrixx_Gary]

I use it between 6-12hrs a day.. with Broadband... why not.. :D :D :D

[ShareDaddy]

Mine is pretty much on 24/7 with the exception of restarting or a mini break once in a while, I share lots of files but a great selection of movies and I try and leave it on all of the time for people downloading my movies. By the way I knew FC would have something to say about KazaaSearch's post and he lived up to expectations. :lol:

[Twist3r]

i leave mine on from 8 (when i leave for school) to about 9:30 when i shut her down for the night PS MY DAD SAID I GOTTA ASK HIM WHEN I DOWNLOAD THINGS....I NEVER HAVE AND I HAVE DOWNLOADED 130 SONGS ABOUT 4 FULL GAMES AND HE HAS NEVER FOUND OUT LOL

[pacman_nederland]

24/7 (Broadband) and Yes it's posible to get to Supreme Being on KL 2.002 without a cheat :D
If only I can get the people who have the files I wan't to share 24/7 <_<
Supreme being isn't a comfort while waiting :angry:
So don't make me dragg U ot of bed slap U around and turn on your computer for me to get them files I want!! :huh: :o Well ok maby I'll get my ass kicked so I'll yust ask politely :lol:

[fiber_fatman]

I have a 4000 to 7000 kb/s figer connect at home. I have 400kb/s going out all the time.

[deckard]

24/7 as well with the occasional maintenance shutdown, or when I do a big CD burning session...

Btw some very funny replies in this thread...I especially liked the one about being on 25 hours a day once a year :lol:

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

:D Must be Daylight Saving Time. :D

[TClite]

HI everyone, this is my first post!! lol...newbie member. Im on kazaa lite almost all the time, I usually download films which are up to 700mb...fortunately i have dsl which is a god send...hehe 56k'rs must be sooooo frustrated with kazaa, i get annoyed when my rates reach below 10kb/s. However I have a problem, i know this is not the appropriate page..but its about newsgroups, can anyone help me out on how i go about joining...

[wiz]

It's on 24/7 except on the rare occasion when the wife goes on line and i have to shut it down.
she complains the web pages open to slowly when i have kazaa lite running.
lol :o .

Suggest you upgrade her to a faster model. :lol:

[wiz]

What R U implying ? Wife or PC,LOL
It can't be the pc as it's a new p/4, 2.6gb&512ddr
it doesen't help that i have about 90 downloads on the go and on average about 30 uploads.
does this answer your Q Lynx LOLROF.
:D

[Tallyman]

Am I missing something here? but if I'm on any sort of permanent connection - cable in my case- surely it's 24/7 unless you're worried about 'leccy bills. It does more harm than good by turning pcs on and off. Ones at work are left on 25/8 so surely it's no hardship to do the same. It's late at night but I think I know what I'm typing. - Still doesn't do a great deal for participation level - I've got to stop searching!!! :/<

Exactly the same.

Don't tell me flatmate tho. He owns the house and has just kicked off about the gas bill!! :(

[Jetski]

New to Broadband, Kazaa and movie downloading. But I'm on 24/7 and I'm sharing everything I've download (except the fakes which I remove to prevent anyone else getting caught). I give 128kps upload bandwidth which I think is reasonable?

[Jack]

I usually do all the time. the shitty thing is I share more than I download and I still have a low rating. I leave the fucker on all night and it doesn't make a world of difference...

[Jetski]

A few "Technical terms" in your reply there!

Anyway, not been able to work out that participation level out myself yet. When I'm go to bed I'm a guru (or so says the wife!!) but when I've return to the PC in the morning I'm high, and that's with loads of uploads from my machine.

[Guest]

--> that great if u don't use cheater. <-- (http://www.exploitsystems.com/g2test.htm)

[UKMan]

As i have ADSL i can afford to be online 24/7 (the electric bills suck though). K-lite is on nearly all of the time as i am sharing all the files and have at least 4 people downloading all the time so it would be a crime to just cut them off for no reason. Also, most of the films i like to dl take between a day or two for some reason!

UKMan

[Andre]

24/7, except for reboots etc

[bigmain2275]

i'm on a university lan system and it i get up to 780km/s; so movies only take 30 to a hour when i download movies. B)

[GingerNutter]

24/7 on my file server.. aahh sweeeet :D

[Woxhol]

Nearly 24/7....hey it's M$ B)

[duffbear]

24 hours a day 7 days a week

[Speedeefeet]

About 10 hous each day.

[Nobody1234]

All the time. Well except when I do maintainence. B)

[Alott]

24 hours a day.... of course the machine is home brewed so take out about 1-2 hours a day worth of rebooting and whatnot. :blink: :rolleyes:

To any who may have been disconected, there was no malice intended. :o

Broadband, it's a wonderful thing, no?

[stoi]

im on 24/7 all day everyday, i share everything i download, problem is only got a 12 gig hdd and no cdwriter so occasionally have to get rid of some big files just to make space for new ones. my shared folder is over 7 gigs so going to have to do it shortly.

i have a laptop and it never gets hot, bit crap for games though running windows 2000 and i cant upgrade my graphics card (on the motherboard) 8meg of vid ram.

im also on cable broadband in the uk been on it for three minths now forgot to send the contract away and direct debit info so never been charged yet moneys in the bank just in case though.

and sounds like im lucky with the electic bill as well have a key meter, laptop running 24/7, 3tvs sky video hifi 2 playstation 2`s and another pc running most of the day and its only charging me about 20pence a day about 35cents for the electric.

need a cdwriter though but hard to get an external one for less than £150 so got to save up a while longer lol

[Ðark Princ€]

i leave mine on all day and night a lot of the time!!!! theres a few days i give it a rest!!!! i try to give ppl a chance to finish downloading!!!!! if i cut you off sorry im not being a dick im just lettin my pc rest so try the next morning cause i cut it on first thing in the morning !!!!! im on 24/7 shit mom says i live on this thing huh maby i do but one problem now i gota get a job on the net lol lol lol lol guese not everything can go my way!!!! lol lol lol maby im dreaming lol lol lol

[havoc]

The one at the office runs 24/7.

The one at home typically runs about 10 hours.

[Diktor]

I close it at night, when I turn off the PC, as my wife thinks the fan is too load, even if we have the bedroom upstairs. I'm king in my own house, unluckily do I live in Sweden, were the king has no power, it's the government that decides. :lol:

Else would it be 24/7.

And if I cut anyone, than I'm a dick, but that has nothing to do with that. It's more my parents, or my sisters, fault, as they gave me the name I have. :)

[The Great Dude]

I usually let it run for 3 hours a day.

[Mr. Nice Guy]

Just long enough to get a couople hard-to-find MP3s, then I free up the phone line. Gotta get 'em while I can, cause most the time they aren't there next time I log back on.

[gumbydancin]

At least 12 hours a day. For the next week or so I will only have 4 files in my folder: Chamber of secrets 1&2 and Die Another Day 1&2 (both dvd rips) becuase they are still rare and I want people to spread them.

[mobboss01]

Mostly all the time. My files are available like NyQuil in a 7 eleven.

[Skweeky]

It's always running, unless we're cleaning the computer...

[slick nick]

24/7 asides from reboots or if I can't tolerate the fan sound while trying to go to sleep. I'm too fanatical about the stuff I want to needlessly log off and run the risk of missing someone coming on with it. With the beta crack going, autosearch clicking search more for me, and click off clicking the "kazaa is not connected" box when it disconnects along with muy dsl i'm in heaven. :D

[SuperJude™]

Mostly it's running all the time. Even if I'm not d/l'ing anything, I leave it running.

-SJ™

[RPerry]

I usually have mine running at least 13 hours a day. I work twelve hour shifts, so its on when I'm not home. Only thing is sometimes my dl speed drops to less than 1 kb per second. Need to figure that one out.

[Yusuke]

usually 12 hrs or more..

[Derf_UK]

on 24/7/365 aprt from when things go pear shaped and I have to reboot :rolleyes:

[Trunks007.PL]

24/h :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[mr_tiki]

leave it on in the night

[MotherwellFC]

I leave mine on most days and all nights

Me too.

Is it bad for your comp to stay on all the time? I make sure that the room stays cool.

I've got a 2moth old p4 2.8ghz 512 DDR comp with the Ati 9700 pro Graphics card.

Thanks guys

[gumbydancin]

I'll admit I'm on Kazaa lite less lately. Even with the cracked version I have a lot more success getting the just-released files on other networks. Emule, irc, and winmx have all been faster getting the new ones lately. I'm on the forum constantly. But more often it is to get exact filesizes to look for on other networks and share the ones I have. I makes me sad.

[DiscoDoGG]

The only time KaZaa is not running is when I am on vacation or away on business. I think my computer enjoys the free time to itself to recover.

[marius]

broadband......24/7 ;)

[spooney]

Why can only 1337 people read the white text at the top of Paul's original post?

Did you miss it?
Check it out...........!

Sharp as a cobra.. :ph34r:

I was quite surprised at the results. I really thought I was an exeption (about 12 hours per day) It just goes to show, there's a lot of file sharers out there. ;)

[Shinigami_[R.I.P.]]

KL running 17 hours a day 7AM- midnight. those are my business hours :P :lol: jkjk

[Razz]

24/7 :D
Razz's mother: Razz can you turn the computer off and go outside for some fresh air
Razz: Off :unsure: ;) :o , how u do that?
:lol: :lol:

[Soul814]

heh.... usually onli wen i eat dinner or leave the computer idle since it lagz too much so about 1 - 2 hrs.... a day...

[Zardoz]

I’d like to open up 24/7 but NTL shuts down my connection in the middle of the night
And I can't complain without the usual B/S about too much bandwidth

[touki]

24/7, i am also on mirc B)

[jenn]

Only been on the site for three days now and I love it....been running it bout 18 hours each day :)

[Purple Puppet]

24/7 most def. The Puppet loves to share!!

[N£MO]

Mines on 24/7 too...all my mates&family know now to never ring my landline,thats what my mobile is for!!! :D

[FreakGrrl]

I am all about the file share - I have a broadband connection, and I leave it running 24/7 with 12 slots open for people to get what they need. Of course, sometimes I have to reboot, and there are a few times (usually when I'm gaming online) that I have to stop running the program, but typically, I'm logged in all day and all night.

[dominar_rygel]

Hello all,
new to these forums but i use Kazaa bout 20 hours per day.

[BlackburnRoversFC]

:D All the time the wifes out and/or until she turns it off :angry:

[starmaster]

guess 24/7 seems to be the norm. And FC, you can get pics from me! They keep my PL maxxed!

[TheMan1891]

I leave mine on any time I'm not playing games or other things that might need internet speed. I'm on a 256k DSL line but I still upload and DL about 2.00gb per day half usually being uploads. Keep the sharing love going everybody!

[kingsley@KaZaA]

[FONT=Times] :P i have no life so i have kl on most of the time apart from when i am working on digital art projects or riding my motocycle :ph34r:

[Amarjit]

I leave K++ on every night to download games, software etc. I am a 56K user, lol!

[sosyourmom.com]

Realy, the only time it's down is when I'm doing something on the net or in Adobe grafix programs (memory hogs!)

[SlayerDF2]

24/7 - How else can we download video before the next ice age!? :rolleyes:

[SniperInTheShadows]

10 To 24hrs a day, sometime's on for a couple of day's non-stop :) Apart from when i'm trying to find new stuff and get no result's and end up getting ticked off in which case i turn it off for a while and play game's or watch anything i've dl'd :)

[Davebravey]

All the time!

[JunkBarMan]

I just got kazaalite loaded after leaving the original because of spyware, I really loved it b4 and like it A LOT better now. I leave it on about 10-15 hours a day.I hope everyone turns it off to do defrags and virus checks, we want these files in tip top shape now! lol :D :D :D

[bytey]

24/7 - all day and all night. Am used to the fan noise now - rest of the house complains about the fan and keep getting told to stop rocking on the chair and to type quietly. Maybe i need to invest in insulation :D

[bestoutof2]

well i leave kazaa lite on a very long time on the weekend i leave it on all the time is this pic to big
http://vegittosdomainkm.htmlplanet.com/images/fusions10.jpg

[ezyryder]

My pc is on almost all the time, as is kazaa! I don't always share tho, as it seems to gobble up every ounce of bandwidth (dont tell me i can restrict it, i know i know)

[Grover]

About 15 hours a day :D

[Revvy]

It depends really on a number of things on how long i leave kazaa on for.. Im on a network.. and so if the other puter is needed for online gaming or something i have to turn off the d/lds as it makes the games 'lagg'

Also it depends on if there is anything i wanna download.. ..

could sit here all night and write a list of 'it depends on....' but i wont bore you all stupid ... save that for another reply lol :D

[WebCheF]

I try to dl most anything I can get my PC on. Movies mostly, some cool new apps, love to eval all the great software offered.

[imported_The HitMan]

I try to leave to k-lite on as long as my computer is on which is almost all day even if im not downloading just to let others dl off of me. the only time i turn k-lite iff is in the night casue of the fan noise and for the occasional maintenance work

[imported_Yako]

Umm..
About 3 hours a day!
Depends what I want to get!
I dont know many good programs to get nowadays ¬_¬

shit... do you think new models have this feature as well?

[imported_stigeide]

Found this page, the say you should give the laptop air underneath:
http://s-sm.org/ssm_images/technology/beau_care.gif (http://s-sm.org/technology_laptop_care.asp)

If my laptop crashes...
Good thing I have backups of all movies on CD...

[cgfreak]

Why even turn it off, i always leave it on 24/7, i know how it feels to wait for a guy to get the file that you wanted, thats why i always leave it on :D

[mcfern]

:angry: I have a cable conection but i can not get any downloads faster then 9 or 10 Kbs so it takes me somtimes day to download the stuff that i want. so i am on almost all 24/7 unless i need the bw for something else

[TheLabel]

I'm on dialup so I leave it on at night and when I'm at school to download big files, which is probably like 13-15 hours.

[geothermal78]

I have 256 up and down dsl internet so I have left k-lite running for days at a time.
Other days I shut this pc off and use the mac. Then once a month I shut them all
down and defrag and do some cd burning backups and zip disk backups also.

If I go on vacation for more than 2 days, then I shut all 5 computers down.
(2 macs and 3 winboxes)

My participation level says supreme being but not sure what that means
because everyone that ever gets songs from me is a deity. But when I
look to see what they are sharing, it shows between 6 to 6000 files on
their computer ?

I am not sure how many users I can support at one time. I have it set for
3 right now but have yet to try more. I guess I don't want Qwest to mess
with me. Also it is really weird but I share 1,659 files currently but all day
people are getting the Lord of the Rings movies from me. I have DOS games,
doc and text files and tons of photos and 7-8 porn videos but still the LOTR
is all that people get ! Wacky ! Oh wait, someone did get a Tick tv show
from me once.....

Also I noticed that some people mention their laptop overheating. So
yes, you need to get some airflow under it. Some stores sell little cork
or plastic foam circles and you could put a few of those on the bottom of
the laptop and get some cooling under there.

But really it is important to restart most windows computers every so
often because when you download a program from the net or an update
for the os, then there are certain files that are put into the temp folder
or other folders that need a reboot to function.

Also Dell or Pacbell did a electric survey of cost to leave the computer
on and found it was $42 bucks to leave computer and monitor on all
year long. These were desktops and the year was 1999 or so. YMMV.

Some computer monitors can be set to shut off after 15 minutes or
whenever. If you do that, then your power bill should be less. But
it sure is nice to leave the Winamp visualizations run all the time ! (^:

Some countries charge electricity differently so YMMV which means
Your Mileage May Vary.

Lastly, in another thread there was a tip that mentions to keep clicking
the "Find More Resources For Download" on every file you are trying
to get. It works for me ! I was shocked. Say I find a song that has
2 users sharing it. I start the d/l and then go to the traffic area and
click the + sign. Then I right click "Find More Resources For Download"
on each person listed and wait 30 seconds and 2 more usually pop up !
Then I click again "Find More Resources For Download" on everyone
listed again. Usually 4 more pop up ! Very cool ! Then I keep doing that.
I have gotten up to 14 users before for a movie and 6 users for songs.
It has to do with the length of the d/l. Anyway, it might not work for 56k
users but worth a try.

bye,

JM

[krome]

mines is always on, im always downloading something or things....

10 seprate folders of music, movies, pics, software packs - i share em all

+ I burned to 100+ cd's of most of that already B)

[Warpcell]

I got 1.5m/b service down, 256 up. Its sweet, I leave it running 24 hours a day, i am constantly downloading movies and junk. I got about 50 dvd rips on a 120gb disk i got. I_bring_order_to_chaos if u ever download from me. I even manged to get a download from my ffriend when he said he was downloading from my name one time....... I only close it if i need to upload a file fast thats like over 10 mb to freinds or something. Hehe, if that new service plan companys are thinkign about comes into play, i am gonna have to pay alot...its pricing per gb of transfer much like many servers and such. And if you go over limit, alot more $. I tracked my up/down on my router one month, when the damn cable internet didn't go out for one month strait, very rare....was 5gb down, 15 gb up. I run edonkey to...as well as other file share cleints, and maybe 1gb goes to my family....they download alot of mp3's.. Amazing, i had 15gb up. Thats more than alot of servers...... If my hard drive ever crashes, i am skrewed for all my movies. To many for cd-rs, most would fit on cd's, exept a few, and to exprensive to burn dvd-r's. Would take over a dozen or 2 4.7gb discs. Got a sony dvd±rw drive/. Burns dvd=r at 4x, -rw at 2x, +R at 4x (Fastert speed dvd+r drive) and dvd+rw at 2.4x. To long to burn the dvd's to.

[Soul814]

did sumone just bring this topic bac again.... since i remember replyin it... lol ... my brain cells are dying, memory lost... such a young age...

[Supernatural]

It used to be running 24/7 when i had broadband. Now it's 2-5 hours on average cause of dial-up.

[Area69]

24 hours a day, 5 days a week B) .

I use the other 2 days in the week to aquire files from other sharing services out there and bring those great files into the Kazaa community.

Among the Area 69 family, got to send props out to my brothers: The Wizards of Oz and Great White North Productions for getting the goods out there on a weekly basis. You Guys Rock!

[BlkDesire]

I try to have it on as much as possible...whenever I am not using the computer. Since I have dial up it's nearly impossible to do anything else online while uploading/downloading. If I had cable/DSL etc I would have it running 24 hours a day.

[Gambo]

Yeah, using 56k is a pain, but practicle at the moment. It's hard to keep your P/L high too. Download anything big, traffic set to 1, go out for a day or so, P/L almost nothing, set traffic to 4, leave for a few days to get back to Guru. Sound familiar to anyone else :lol:

[chloe_cc2002]

I only keep it running during lucid intervals.

i got kazaa on 24/7 :lol:

[xJacobxDxCx]

i have a 56k connection and i get kicked off every 12 hours. i usually just leave the internet/kazaa on all night and wait til the morning. it is not as big of a pain as it seems cuz all i d/l is songs

[FireATM]

im on kl like 1 hr a day for dling music. no use to be on 24/7 anymore since verifieds is gone. (temporarily)

[Curley]

About 3 hours per evening during the week, and about 6 hours per day on a weekend.

[TRshady]

at least 10 hours every, ive only got an 8gb hdd :(
so i keep having to save stuff on cd

[Marthafocker2003]

i have broadband, so i geuss i could keep it on constantly and d/l a ton of file.

[namzuf9]

I'm on broadband sharing about 26gigs (would be more but I'm waiting on the verifieds-when??? ;) -how I miss them so!) All my files have come from K-lite running it 8 hours a day over the past 2 months. :)

[SideSwiped]

I leave Kazaa running 24/7, the only time I shut it down is to reboot 'Ol' Betsy' here. d/l maybe one file every couple of weeks, but I hope others appreciate my list being available at all times.

[jonny_knoxville]

Constantly, non stop, all the time, for ever !!!!! :P

[spork]

It's generally on all the time for me

[Falkar]

:rolleyes: I am about 6hrs a day or night spnce I work afternoons <_<

[ThE_MP3_G0d]

20-22 since the CableOne guys got everything going :)

HEY!! U GUYS AT CABLEONE BRING ON THE 3Mb/s !!!!!

[[B][O][T]]

"between 1 and 2 hours"

[lunatacs]

mostly all day, I'm on cable so it just runs in the background when i do anything else

[Schmiggy_JK23]

Its on most of the time im online, except when im gaming, counter strike, etc. So out of 12 hours online, probably 6-8, depending on what i want, and how fast i want it.

[Wocus]

24 hours a day man... full kazaa usr :D

[merlin-1]

I'm only on for a couple of hours a day and when i'm on so is Kazaa Lite.

[skelley521]

go to work when the bills roll in and I need to catch up.....then back to the 'puter for another month... good thing I make 1,000/wk....work 2 wks play for 6..*grin

[imported_Phil_123]

315360000000 milliseconds per year (24/7/365)
but i rarely use kazaa lite cos there are too many fakies
i use WinMX
(winmx can use hashes with the help of MXLinx)

and no, leaving ur comp on 24/7/365 is GOOD for your computer
turning it on when you use it and turning it off when you don't use it is BAD for your computer

[SolidWing68]

I keep my computer on alot, basically most of the whole day and night, but when kazaa lite slows down my pc I reboot, but average..I would say kl is running 9-11 hours

[NiSMO]

I download whatever I wanna watch but depending on my Downloads I'll usually let from 5 ppl to 80 ppl download off me at once. I upload 24 hours a day 7 days a week and i have pretty popular titles and a broadband connection. Downloads of a 700 meg file on average (popular title) 2 hours. :P

[Crono]

I usually try to have it on except when I'm playing some of the games I own that use more resources (UT2003) Somtimes my parents make me pause it when they're surfing if I'm using all the bandwidth (640 Down DSL). and I usually leave it on all night quite a bit though since its in my room the noise can get a little annoying.

[n17ikh]

I probably have k++ on about 20 hours a day.
I leave it on at night and at school because I only have 1 phone line and 56K and my mom complains b/c no one can call us.
i want broadband sooo bad!!! :P but the nearest DSL connection is 10 miles away from my house... ;) I live waaay out in the rural USA...

I'm on a dialup connection and I like to dl large files (games and movies etc) so I d/l them overnight.&nbsp; I usually set it to go before I go to bed and disconnect when I get up.&nbsp; I also leave it on if there's no one at home.
If I had broadband, it would probably be on 24/7.
Damn I want a broadband connection.
damn a dialup connection and leaving the internet on all night... downloading a game must talke days :o [/b][/quote]
dial-up overnight :huh: it must be very costly not the connection but the telephone bill :blink: :ph34r:

[Icey]

i usally have mine running 14-18 hours aday

[TRshady]

Just got new pc working so I'm on for 23 hours a day from now on.

[Icey]

i only usally turn mine off so i can play online games without lagging to much :P

[Castronzl]

My connection costs me $20/month with no d/l limits. The only problem is that I get kicked off every 4 hours, but I've got my pc on auto dial if connection drops.


I want broadband as well!! :angry: ...but not available where I am...so dialup is ok for now...I also leave my computer running all night...but never get kicked off and is unlimited..costs $NZ15 per month...and get about 100mbs per night...so takes about 7 nights to get a cd down...but what the hell..I am sleeping and no one rings me at night. :o ..lol...also spend at least 4 hrs thru the day online as well...jump off and on like a yo-yo.lol...but broadband would be nice...but a bit pricey here for me....take care way out there... :ph34r:

[Genius]

As long as I need it to be running :D

[imported_The__One]

I leave kazaa on 27/7 on my fast comp (dont even notice that it's running)...but I only use it for like 3-4h a day on the other, slower one...

[itay]

i usually keep my kazaa running 24 hourse a day......

so if i have any download, they wont stop :P

[subzero]

i have kazzalite on for about 6 hours a day, although when im not at work its often on all the time

[markyseven]

Iam newbie but i use kazza lite about 10h a day.its great:-)

The Forum is great too

Grüße ans gsicht :lol:

[oldmancan]

B) average 15-20 hrs/day. Usually 24/7 but sometimes left off until someone wants some tunes.

Cheers, OMC

[dem_ente0]

i usually leave the computer all day long, and kazza about the same, only when im not downloading anything :rolleyes: i close kazza

[IggyPops]

normally have it runnin 2 - 6 hours, sometimes longer, sometimes less

[Thorin]

I usually leave it running between 6-8 hours most days. I just wish the guy with Pimsleur German would too :(

[[DeXTeRiTy]]

AAAAALLLLL day--every day. I just burn files to CDs when my hard drive is filling up, then defrag (with kazaa still running).

[cooljew]

I try to leave it on all the time. Except for disk scanning, defragging, etc., it pretty much is. I just started with Kazaa. I just recently switched over from Bearshare and the difference is incredible. When I used to leave Bearshare open and walk away I'd return to find my computer had crashed more often than not. This has not happened yet with Kazaa. I have a cable modem so I only turn off if I have to reboot or we have a blackout or something (happens more than you think).

Brad

[HardcoreGoku]

24/7 ;)

[Bearded Kazaa]

God Bless my new broadban connection

I have just gotten broadband and because of this i leave my computer on for 15/19 hours a day my computer now runs real slow because of this

[Blue_Seraphim]

My pc runs constantly. Unless i'm playing a multiplayer game kazaa runs too.

[bronco]

Not got the fastest connection out there (128k ntl) so normally 24/7 or until my d/l's are complete :D

[cooolway]

Sometimes I have to close when playing a game

[Cathras]

Like many here, I run Kazaa always, except when Playing internet games, PC-maintenance. Comp is on 24/7 just a quick restart 1-2 times a week to freshen it up.
Just figured out that internet connection info thingy in the taskbar wont show more than 10gig before starting over :/
PC-running time 1 day 19 hours
Upload 3,5G download 1,47!? and thats after downloading 3 2CD games some movies, music etc... heh.. Windows need to get up to speed on the development on the internet :P

[Newton]

mine is on constantly with my Dial up connection which cuts off after 2 hours gotta get something to make it re-connect automatically.. :)
anyone know what program or something to use for this...
;)

[the_silverblade]

KaZaA runs depending on what I'm downloading or what I want to download, but mostly it runs between 6 and 15 hours each day.

I HAVE BROADBAND, IT TAKES ME AN HOUR FOR A WHOLE MOVIE(2 FILES)I'M USUALLY ON FOR ABOUT 15 2 20 HRS A DAY :rolleyes:

[longcatlis]

I am on broadband but the download times are so slow (often less than 1KB) I have to leave the machine on permanently (with my monitor off of course). :angry:

[100%]

I am not online fulltime - but a web borrower
so generally 2-6hrs a-go

[E-Emperor]

Like it should... All the time.... 24/7. Except when I need to surf the net occasionally. I am running a "Dial up" connection. It's not the fastest, but It means that my otherwise "mostley dormant telephone line" can finally be of some worth.
Live on p2p Live on K.Lite
Cheers E.... :ph34r:

[chloe_cc2002]

varies...but ISP has a policy that is USUALLY enforced..ie they disconnect every three hours...sometimes though that isn't always strictly adhered to. http://www.imahosting.com/sigs/nutto.jpg

[Blaster.Master]

24/7 dsl ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[MOTOMATT]

:P 5-6 hr's most the time , ocasionaly i'll leave it on for 48hrs so i can get dls. :wub: k+++ is great :)

[nightsky]

24/7...with all apps running, surfing, d/l with kaaza and other prog at the same time. So little time to sleep. Have tried stay up the entire week with just one meal and some water. Still alive........ :D .....

got some tickets at the show....8 hours til X-men starts.....WoooHoooo....I'm gonna make some money....also d/l the cam version from BitTorrent.....50 min's to go.....first the big screen then the little screen.. :lol:

[raf111]

Take a guess... I'll give you a hint... My nick is Me[on24/7enjoyANDsharetoo!]... Unless of course i require whole of my bandwidh (on line games etc.)

[amphoteric88]

[Defik]

Only one thing 2 say B) ... 24hours a day, 7 days a week, 4 week a month, 12 month a year, 100 year a senturi, 10 senturi a milenium............ ROCKS HARD !!!! :lol: :D

[Defik]

Only so u know i have all DBZ episodes i a zip file... :D

[lou_lou]

i remember when i had dial up, jeeso one song took a week :blink: . now i have broadband, what a creation :P . i leave it on all the time.

[iNDODuBz]

1 or 2 hrs unless im dling movies or otha things ;)

[snow white]

24/7. i allways have some movie or epiesods to download so kazza is open and connected all the time. :)

[Yagyumarrow]

I am on a 56k dial up so i normally spend 10 hours during the week on kazaa and leave my connection to run straight through from Friday evening to monday morning

[Proper Bo]

I leave mine on nearly all weekend

[GodEmperor]

I have it running about 17 hrs a day

[aka_void]

I leave my K-lite on from 7.30am - 6pm at home (Usually more uploads than downloads)

I also use K-lite at work for mainly downloads..

[bigfoot1942]

i run k-lite about 168 hours a week. Who runs it more?

[thegroggman]

LOL...Im never not running it, if my pc is running then so is Kazaa :D

[Props022]

24 hours. Everyday, except when I have to play DooM online.

[bobfred]

I hav it on bout 3/4 hours a day, except when im dloadin big files n ill leave it on 4 bout 3 days.
Broadband rules! dont know how i managed without it!
what pisses me off is the "remotely queued" shit, so annoyin when u leave kazaa on all nite n u havent dloaded anythin! :angry:

[Guillaume]

About 18 hours a day. My pc's a laptop,so to prevent damage from overheating I have to shut down and let cool for a while otherwise it'd be on 24/7!

[JiMMiJaFFa]

Generally 8 hrs per day(left running most of the time)

Unless of course the counter strike addict in the house wants to get online <_<

Then ive got at least an 8 hr wait till im back up and running :angry:

[Movieman420]

When I first became a k-lite addict it was almost 24/7.
(That even with having a cable connection!)
After about a month, when I'd d/led just about all the
music I liked, I was down to about 8 hrs/day.
Then I was bitten by the movie bug and discovered
SigDat...back up to 24/7 again.
Now it is soo annoying trying to d/l the newest
verfieds...sooo slooow...from .01 to maybe 6kbs
at best. Especially after seeing 270+ Kbs d/l's
when getting software from a fast website!
I'm sure most of you can relate....

[DivX]

never off sometimes 13 days b4 a reboot

[Kane Malone]

[SIZE=1] Well... I wish i had a broadband connection!!!! Im on about 1 - 2 hours a day cos we r on this BTInternet Anytime but they shortened it down to something like 150 hours a month, i g2 share it cos i got my whole family using it. If i had broadband it wud b on 24/7/365 :blink:

[LINDOREZ]

Mines on whenever i'm awake, i would have it on all night, but the fan in my computer keeps me awake. Maybe i'll go for water cooling so i can keep it on 24/7. :D

[Alucard1475]

Always around 7 hours a day. Manly overnight because of my dial-up connection. Every 5 hours I get dissconnected :angry: and have to connect again, but in those 5 hours I get aroud 100MB. For only $20 a month and unlimited downloads it's great for a dial-up connection. :P

Gosh, I just realised I only registered my interest in broadband in July 1999. What can I be thinking of ?
Just got a letter from my ISP (Freeserve).
They seem to think that over 20 hrs/day average is a little excessive.

Well stuff them, I've finally got broadband (and not from Freeserve), so from now on it will probably be 24/7.

Probably need to be careful with that 1 Gig/day limit tho. :lol:

Damn, better get a bigger hard drive too. :(

[crazy_billy_bats]

24/7.

365 days a year

stop it once in a while to restart after burning a few cd's...

dual fan so theoretically can stay on forever.... :D

[Terminal Boredom]

At my peak (with spyware Kazaa) I had it running for 8 mo's straight. Makes me misty thinkin o' the lack of B.S.O.D I had......
sniff

[conspheretrix]

B) On average around 15 hours. The only reason I put my kazaa up that long, is because I want people to see my music videos. I get like 25-50 visitors a day to my site, and not all of them go to the x-treme music videos section, that's why I depend on kazaa to help me distribute my music videos. www.conspheretrix.cjb.net if ur interested, if not then screw it, cuz its kind of late now, get some sleep dudes.

[Liam]

1 - 2 hours because i have another download manager called eMule.

[twilight_twinkle]

i run it almost all day. m kinna adicted to it. well i got KL lately. earlier i used to run the simple Kazaa almost all day long :P

[MUSLEMAN]

I have it on all they but at the end of the day my upload page is full (I mean alot). thanks for all your hard work and help paul. :D :)

[shn]

:)

[I.am]

:rolleyes: Just 1-2 hrs a day!

[jazzbiondi]

My Kazaa Lite can be online for weeks sometimes :blink:

Just to complete downloading of movies that i want to watch .... have to sacrifice and let the program runs all day. Thank GOD i'm using cable ...

:ph34r:

[dumbster]

Not counting a couple of reboots and crashes, I've been on kazaa for about two years straight now...
I love to give and get to love... :wub:

[vcheewei]

hahaha...me new to kazaa. just starting using it since starting this year. I never off! Just like i am hosting a server. 24 /7 heeh...99.99% up time..

[SolidWing68]

geeze, mine was just up for 11 days 8 hours and 44 minutes :o but I had to reboot..

[Dan Man]

I theoretically leave mine on 24/7 but I'm using Windows ME so I have to reboot every 8 minutes.

cos my computer is too noisy to run at night
and it is placed just 2 metres from my pillow :ph34r:

[MOVIEMADNESS]

24/7 on broadband... if u take u should give or die

[MikeyMC]

Just until I reach the point of throwing my 56k modem out the window! I'd trade my first child for a cable modem (if I had a first child, or any child for that matter). :lol: <_<

[Damnatory]

23 hours and 58 minutes a day. I shutdown every morning for 2 mintutes. :D

[chalkmongoose]

The only time I turn it off is when I shut my computer down. I can surf the net with it on (I have xDSL), so it doesn't really bother me much. I also use a paid version of getRight, so with its nice accellerated features, I can do quite a bit of downloading in both IE and Kazaa.

[Lady Kohoutek]

In the past I would have said all day everyday, but now, I tend to have Kazaa running at night when I'm asleep. I quickly found out not to run Kazaa while using Photoshop. :rolleyes:

[that1dude]

i have cable modem so its on 24-7 might as well take it for granted
:blink:

[Colbalt-Blue]

I leave it running 23/7

[iamtheoneandonlyone]

I'd say an hour. I'm very cautious these days.

[i_have_a.d.d.]

if im geting movies i leave it on for about 3-5 hours cause i get can get a movie pretty fast 1.5mbs

for ppl that leave their comp on 24/7, how much electric bill do u get each month?

[jamvan01]

I have broadband modem. This means that I have a shared connection which means that it is faster depending how many people are it. I like to leave it one while i sleep since that is the fastest time to download. I generally leave it on 8 hours a night or more.

[DarkBlizzard]

Kazaa Lite for me is on 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week, 365 Days a Year.

[jrday]

Kazaa lite is always running here.
:lol: it's ma first post btw... cool board :D

[Snowdog]

Always finding good stuff to download so it's on 24/7 with broadband connection. B) I am also new to posting and would like to say hi!

[Tweakz20]

Only time I go on is when I want something... it takes up sooo much ram, so I just use media players ;)
Since I started going on the Forum, I actually have a good reason to go on... (i'm too lazy to type in www.kazaalite.tk and going through the links.. haha)

[Evil Zak]

I leave it on all the time, excluding when it crashes which is a lot <_<

[chalkmongoose]

I have my baby on 24/7. If you can find my supernode, your in for a treat, I have a ton of Aretha Franklin and animal porn :)
Half the stuff on my computer I don't even look at (I think I'd puke) but the thing is, I am a TRUE file-sharer, and I don't just share my files. I share over 1500 files and I think 500 of them I've actually viewed. I like to search for things that a majority of people will view, so as to provide an additional hi-speed source for a lot of stuff.

[Dalegas]

I have it running almost all day long.. 23 hours 30 mins a day I'd say.. ... Except for those days u leave ur baby sleepin...... guess sometimes the fan noise tires me....

[clay_rocks_my_socks]

Less than 30 minutes...

[Craig-CorsaGSi]

24/7 :P

[moneyshot]

:ph34r: ive broadband so 24/7 :D unless it crashes :(

[asmithz]

I have a 56k modem and free internet provided by school i live it on from 9pm to 5pm the next day so about 20 hours a day. and 700mb only takes 3 days.

[Idownloadmusic]

I keep it fairly limited, sometimes not even opening it up every day. I try not to keep a lot of programs open and I heard that Kazaa Lite sucks up a lot of resources.

[Robertases]

I would download for a long time except Kazaa keeps crashingmy computer

[jkmatt]

20hr+ a day

[RIAAsux]

damn I remember the good old days of 56k but, now that I think about it I love alot more my BROADBAND!!!

[MuGen_PoWeR]

24/7

[geitje3]

My kazaa is on when i start my computer in the morning and after i went to the bar it is no longer on ghghghe

bye! :D

[Nexus UK]

24/6 or 24/7 depending on burning, defragging, crashing etc......

when i have router installed then a dedicated derver running 24/7.

why bother having broadband unless 24/7

to the poster who ran his laptop 24/7

i would like to give a bravery award. :beerchug:

i have complete air cooling solution and get worried at some of the temps i have been getting this summer.

i think i would have a heart attack if my laptop were on that long. :wacko: :'(

[zelig]

I can't seem to get it to work anymore

[photikori]

i dont even use kazaa. i used kazaa when it first came out and to download dragonball z episodes which i first had cable internet. that was in 8th grade, i didnt know much downloading places. ah the memories ;(
