How To Use K-dat

[MUSLEMAN]

ok first we will start with deleting the no ip sources
1: open your klite tools and run k-dat
2: close klite (make sure you close klite, you can't make any changes to a dat file if klite is open)
3: once you have run k-dat you will see a window like the one below, it should load up your dat files from your "my shared folder" if not use refersh/load or use the browse tab to browse folders on your pc and choose a directory to load from. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/b/smiley2k.gif
4: once you have loaded your dat file/s then pick to one you would like to check, do this by clicking on it.

http://www.geocities.com/fshaitoon/k-dat/kdatedit1.jpg
5: now your dat file has become high lighted, on the right side you will see the source window, with your first source in it, the info for that source is displayed under it in the source info box
http://www.geocities.com/fshaitoon/k-dat/kdatedit2.jpg

6: now very simply look at the source info box and any source that has no or zero in the field in front of the source ip and supernode ip delete them with the delete tab.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/b/smiley2k.gif
7: next to the source window is the tab for the drop down menu, use that to browse all sources for your dat file one by one, yu choose them by just clicking on themand they will appear in your source window then just repeat step #6 for each one.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/r/sgrin.gif
8: thats is boss you are done http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/r/sgrin.gif good luckhttp://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/b/smiley2k.gif

[life-of-brian]

Thanks for the reply MM, but based on the Tips, I already do that with KDat.

Actually if I am not downloading anything at a given time I go in KDat and use the delete not stored sources all the time. That is where I get the source IP of 192.168. I have been searching for Tina Arena vids and a user (INFOTECH) has a static IP of 192.168.0.... I forgot the last node. As I said, I could download with a dial up and lost it when I went to static IP, and I am beginnning to think it&#39;s because I am behind a router now. Thanks for the comments.

Oh and actually, I think you guys should get paid by having a setting to grant you priority in downloading. It would be better than occasional Paypals.

[Nora73]

Wow :flowers:

This is very useful, clear (because of the pictures) and wonderful. I tried this earlier but I couldn&#39;t get it done propely. But now I think I&#39;m gonna try again.

thank you both and let me know if you have any questions

for 192.168.x.x ips please refer to this thread (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=72835) as paul has expained it wellhttp://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/r/sgrin.gif

it helps sometime and some people would think 10kb and 2 days less it pretty good boss

[booooooooo9]

Didin&#39;t try it yet,but the way you put it down "BOSS" I don&#39;t think you will be getting any questions.Verry verry good work,thanks(boss B) ).

[booooooooo9]

Ha ha,I got a question for ya.Would it help,or mabe make it worse,if I would delete those that have verry low speed (lets say less than 1.0ks)?

the speed could change because we don&#39;t know why its low, is it the band setting? is it because the source has alot of uploads, etc. so i would say no but its your world boss do with is as you wish good luck http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/w/thumbs.gif

[roccosi]

i think that would be very useful to be able to insert a partial file you already have into the dat file, thus not restarting to dl it from the begin.

for that you need to choose the merge option from the right click menu on the files

i dont see any merge option in version 1.21, but only a modify option.

[dano5050]

assuming that someone has had the brainchild of having the "no ip" field in the .dat automatically deleted as an option in a future k++ type extension? no?

sorry to be redundant.

i need to create a new dat file from a movie that i got on the hard disk.....

[The Weeman]

Absolutely fantastic work MM. Cant wait to see any additions to this. Will be folllowing this topic closely.

[MUSLEMAN]

@ The Weeman thx you can check out how to delete no ip (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=72194) its another k-dat thread

@roccosi i&#39;m a bit lost here, and don&#39;t undestand, are you trying to share dvd that you already have or add sources to a downlaod you already have??

well you can use it to change path of your dat, delete unwanted sources, merge dats together, etc.

[Princessgirls]

So u mean delete the sources with no source node or super node IP????

[MUSLEMAN]

delete any source that has empty space or 0 for source and supernode ip and port

[Haz]

errr, I took your tips the wrong way and I kinda screwed something up, instead of just deleting the 0 sources from something I was downloading, I accidentally deleted ALL my sources :( and now my dl has stopped completely, am I totally screwed?

start a new download and when you got bunch of sources in it, then just merge this dat file with the new one just hold shift+left click of both files then put the curser over the highlighted are and right click and choose merge

we all had to start some where

[CoolMac]

you mean that if i try to download a movie 2 times and use k-dat to merge them they will have more sources?

[MUSLEMAN]

Originally posted by CoolMac@22 November 2003 - 15:44

if you merge them one of your files is going to have sources from both files,

so if both files had different sources yes, but if they both had the same sources you would just have 2 of the same sources

[CoolMac]

sounds good thanx, I will start doing "the Musleman" trick and tell you if it helped me

[MUSLEMAN]

thx but this is not realy my trick i just wanted every body to know how to do it, and its only for files that have a lot of no ip sources in them :lol:

[CoolMac]

cool for ex. files with a lot of sources

like Van helen or whatever

[MUSLEMAN]

Originally posted by CoolMac@22 November 2003 - 20:31

more for files that have been sitting around for a while and just won&#39;t connect, this seems to help them sometimes :lol:

[CoolMac]

SOMETIMES???? this helped me with those 90 files that have the same filename and accidently downloaded

:P :P :P :P :P


PS:However I sense there are much more tools for k-dat

[starlingsky]

Just wanted to say, MM you are a GOD&#33;&#33;&#33; Thanks for the post even if it was in November. Took my 3 kb/s to 35+ :) Now if I can just get ppl to actually share with me... grrr...

[MUSLEMAN]

np boss you are welcome :lol:

[lamalite]

thankyou so much for the great tip. I&#39;ve been wanting to know how to get rid of beat sources for a long time. please keep the tips coming. hope you will be well rewarded.

Peace

[MUSLEMAN]

np thx and good luck :lol:

[lamalite]

thanks for the musleman. got your message and registered.
not pushing or anything but will you post a similar add new source tutorial.

long live the sharing power. B)

[lamalite]

p.s

it seems to sometimes be helpful to use k-dat to delete a majority of the sources staying with just a few perhaps the ones with higher downloading speed.
In the following case: a file that has been sitting around for while and has the max number of sources in memory or close to it( esp. if you allow saving local ips in dat files- i think). sometimes these sources have already deleted the requested file and are just sitting there stacked up, you can see the amount through k-dat.
Deleting them allows you get new fresh sources for the file by the find more sources option of sometimes find more from the same title/filename. (add new source?- like i said dont know yet)

Hope at least some of this is right and helpful.

Appreciat comments MUSLEMAN

Peace. :huh: :rolleyes:

[MUSLEMAN]

well if you have sources that you know are stale and not any help then deleting them would be good thing ofcourse.

the add sources comes into play only if you have a source that klite has not found like a friend or something, otherwise you can just merge the 2 dat files to become one dat file with combine sources of both

if you have a source that is outside of klite and need to know how to add it let me know i will tell you, however i find that most times that is not the case, and that merging dat files normally does the trick because the new sources people have found are in klite

Ive read the faq file of kazaa lite. Its not simple like "just look the help..." There are no mention to HOSTS File manager or kmagnet for example... So a quick guide wont be idiot.... :rolleyes:

[Talbot]

hi musleman thanks for great kdat tutorial.can you explain what kdat means when you use "delete not stored sources",because those sources do not have blank or zero in their source node or supernode columns.also i have never seen any blank or zero entries in these two columns,am i just lucky or have i got hold of the wrong end of this stick? i run kazaa lite k++ version 2.4.3 with kdat 1.2.5
