Kazaa was my first p2p program but just as everyone else I stoped using it and switched to bittorrent a few years ago. But I have never really understod why the program is called 'kazaa'. Does anyone know?

The word means "Let's go" in Korean and "Goat" in Russian

Thanks. They prbably ment 'let's go' when they created it. Using 'Goat' seems a little weird :P

They would have called it Sheep...but there was not one to be found during the annual Welsh bachelor feast of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
After much discussion, using the famous Dutch Polder Model to make the decision, Kazaa as alternative to "Sheep"was eventually chosen; knowing that most Kazaa users were capable of writing maximum 4 letter words(WTF being by far their favorite), and also, one of the developers did actually mention that Kazaa has 5 letters in it.... :blink: But he was out vogoated

I figured it was because they couldn't just plagiarize code and call it "Morpheus" again.

It also means "Household" in Latin. So it might've been based on the idea of some "large storage" place -- on the other hand, that sounds more like Napster. Kazaa is an unregulatable anonymous network.

I also always wondered why it is called Kazaa.
Isn't there also Kazaam the genie in a bottle, from this one movie-
might there be any connection, like Kazaa will fullfill you every wish?

What's so weird about 'Goat'? You've already got eMule, eDonkey, Bear Share... heck even Napster is a little Cat-thing with headphones (even though it's not technically file-sharing anymore, you can still see there's a trend).
