Kazaa Lite 2.4.5

[nsane]

Well I decided to make an updated installer for K++ mainly because the current K++ clones either add bugs, have screwed up default configuations or are just too bulky ;)

Um....I have the KazaaLiteK++ "unofficial" version made by Click here for info on this version (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=115964)
and it seems like this version made by the people that made KLiteK++ 2.4.3 already has the sutff u added from 2.4.3 to 2.4.5, so i think the version you&#39;re making is already made (2.4.3)but its unofficial

hope it gives u some info,

2.4.4 doesn&#39;t includes mp3shield, kmagnet and latest tools (k-sig, k-dat...). Besides, 2.4.4 changes the default k++ settings.

[/b][/quote]
it stills displays the win32 error message.

[nsane]

i updated again, fixed an error with the tools menu & klrun (ISTool removed some quotes)


it stills displays the win32 error message. ;)
try it now :unsure: and when exactly does it display the error? (might be inno)

[E-squirrel]

the file just..doesn&#39;t..work..

[djchris]

I downloaded it again (3 times) and when i open the installer it displays the win32 error message in a DOS window and then it closes the DOS window.

[nsane]

try again, this time i used Inno 4.2.6 :unsure: :blink:

[djchris]

It worked&#33; but i have a suggestion: i know you dont want any b/s changes but you can edit the kazaalite executable and change the version and the build date in the about box, like the 2.4.4 version by dg_mortal. :unsure: what do u think?

[nsane]

yeah, there&#39;s a few other things i wanna so i&#39;ll release "2.4.5.2" in a few days ;)

[Download]

The download is not corrupt anymore. :)

[nsane]

yeah, it was Inno 4.2.7 :blink:

[deafandmute]

hi,
help&#33;&#33;&#33;first time i use forums.i cannot find a place where i can post a new subject.How do I place a new post?I cannot see anything on the screen but other people&#39;s posts.Thanks :(

[nsane]

there&#39;s a button near the top & bottom called "START NEW TOPIC" ;)

[E-squirrel]

the download link on your site isn&#39;t working so i can&#39;t try downloading it again. and before i download it, do you know what you&#39;re doing? Is this a nice professional looking release, and not some shitty buggy version?

[Ariel_001]

Your web site looks good but I can`t get it...

umm.....yes my version has k-sig and KaNAT, but i donno about Mp3shield, i know i have ksig and kanat cuz its under my tools menu&#33;

[MasterofChaos]

one more thing, i cant download the thing from ur site, when i click on the download link, it loads for about 2 seconds and then nothin happens, i kept on trying to download by clicking but the download never starts, can u just gimme the download link?

[nsane]

yeah, polarhome deleted my file...i&#39;ll fix it when i get off work later ;)

[erRor67]

Is this installer like an update, where you need kazaa lite k++ installed as it only updates the certain files
or is it like a full installer, in which it installs everything, as if i never had kazaa on my system to begin with?
:huh:

Edit: and i dont know if this is added to the startpage yet (since i didnt run it yet), but did u put http://www.sharethefiles.com and http://www.sharethefiles.org in there? Cause those sites used to be fasttrack central/movies. ;)

and the download&#39;s back online :01:

@ariel - c&#39;mon, the whole point of the ?b=file is to hide the url. could ya remove that above :P

[MasterofChaos]

im downloading right now, will try it out later, since im out right now

[erRor67]

Ok, a suggestion. When you first run the installer, and you get to the page where it shows to information about the tools, you should include info about KaNat, KMagnet, MP3shield, and HOSTS Manager as they are missing from those notes.
And make the HOSTS Manager an option of installing or not, as that too is missing from the customization of the installer. But good job by the way. :D

Edit: And if i have kazaa lite k++ already on my computer, do i have to uninstall it first, the run the installer? Or can i just install over it? Cause i know kazaa resurrection and kazaa tools will just install along side of kazaa lite k++ since it installs in different folders. :( :unsure:

1. added (ill be uploading 2.4.5.2 in a few hours)
2. the hosts manager is only installed if supertrick is selected ;)
3. should work installing over 2.4.3, i used all the same setting. uninstall entries, folders, etc are all teh same as 2.4.3 (except for the db folder which is now in the main folder) :)

[erRor67]

cool, just installed it. hehehe, should have waited for 2.452 to come out, but what the hell. And just a question, but what happened to 2.44?

And as previous noted, you should change the About box. The version # and built date is still old. And, add http://www.sharethefiles.com and http://www.sharethefiles.org to the web page since they have verified links and it used to be fasttrack central/movies.

[Ariel_001]

Here is some more things you could to to inprove the installer.

1. Uncheck "disable being a supernode" by default. (we could use more kl supernode to connect to)

2. Uncheck the "Supertrick" by default. That stuff can really mess up some computers.

Also see if you could change the User Config Wizard to not set the "do not function as a suprnode" option.

[nsane]

i dont know about the user config wizard, i&#39;d have to decompile it and i&#39;m trying to keep it simple here :P

any of the sites that caused probs with other sites have been filtered out thanx to Lite over on the K-Lite v2.6 project, if that&#39;s what your refering too? :unsure:

but i just finished compiling 2.4.5.2 and it should be uploaded soon ;)

[Ariel_001]

No I mean the Supertrick itself can mess up some computers. It can cause some computers to become unstable and so slow that it is no longer usable.

Yes I agree you should keep it simple but don`t make major changes to the computer configuration by default.

[nsane]

alright ill work on setting for the next release ;)

but for now, i just upload 2.4.5.2, downloads on my site of course

[djchris]

ariel I think the settings are OK. no need to tweak them.

So whats different with this version?

[nsane]

look on my site

[MasterofChaos]

downloaded it and i think its great&#33;&#33;&#33; hope u will do new versions soon,

BTW r u the new developper of K++?

[Autumn Fox]

Chaos, try K-Lite 2.6 as it&#39;s never then nsane&#39;s 2.4.5. Use my sig to get it.

BTW. K++ isn&#39;t under development anymore.

what do u mean by this

[Autumn Fox]

Not never but newer ;)

K-Lite 2.6 is the newest version of K-Lite and K++ isn&#39;t under development anymore. Nsane made a new installer with all new versions of software that K-Lite 2.4.3 is using.

[ishmoo21]

really so whats the diff between k-lite 2.6 and kzaa lite k++ 2.4.5.2

[Lite]

KL 2.6 Is based on KMD 2.6 NOT the ancient KMD 2.0.2 as KLK++ is. Advantages are:
* K-Lite is still in developement... K++ isnt... like Autumn Fox said, nsane simply updated third party tools
* Has multi-tabbed searches
* Connects to other KMD 2.6.x supernodes
* Forced viewing of traffic and search
* "jump supernode" function uses "soft jump"- doesnt pause up/downloads
* "Single click downloads"

[ishmoo21]

do they both have the same tools

[djchris]

K++ is better than k-lite 2.6. Maybe, if k-lite 2.6 arrives to final we can think about it.

[Lite]

Nice for you to speak for everyone djchris :frusty:

@ ishmoo21, try them both and see which YOU like best

[erRor67]

Originally posted by ishmoo21@6 July 2004 - 12:39

yes.

[MasterofChaos]

well, KLite installs both KMD AND KLite, which takes up more space, and i think K++ operates faster, plus, KLite installs alot of other junk you dont need, and K++ is just a plain simple, easy, and good(yes thats true, in my opinion :D )

K-Lite 2.6 doesn&#39;t install KMD 2.6. It only uses it to get kazaa.exe and magnet.exe, there is no junk in the installation. K-Lite 2.6 uses KHancer (written by FTFakes) to do the same things as K++ (i think Aldo wrote it), both versions use the same loader (by Paul ?). And both are plain simple, easy and good

[ishmoo21]

does k-lite have kl extensions w/ all those tools

[djchris]

k-lite 2.6 includes all k++ tools. Instead of klextensions it uses khancer (similar, but with less features). I heard khancer is going to include all klextensions features and more in future.

[Autumn Fox]

(...)I heard khancer is going to include all klextensions features and more in future.
And that&#39;s KHancers advantage over K++, it&#39;s under development and K++ is not

[MasterofChaos]

only reason KLite is better is because is under development and K++ is not, otherwise K++ ownz KLite, you dont even need the Kazaa.exe and Magnet.exe you just install from the K++ installer and thats it

Like Autumn Fox said, k-lite doesnt install both KMD and Kite. It only gets kazaa.exe and magnet.exe files from KMD. And K-Lite doesnt install alot of other junk one doesnt need. It just installs the need parts, and its all included in K++ except for Mp3Shield, which wasnt made at the time. (And in my optinion MP3Shield is a great program to all those who download music).

<!--QuoteBegin-ishmoo21

No, K-Lite doesnt use KLextentions but like above, it has all the tools. Because it doesnt use KLextensions, it uses something else called Khancer, which does the same thing (Only it doesnt have all those features, but thats why it is under development, unlike K++ which is not in development. So, in the future, it will have all those neat features.

[ishmoo21]

well i tried both klite and k++ and i like k++ a lot better
one last ? is there anyone who can add tabbed searches to a later version of k++

[djchris]

I think they already said that K++ is not in development <_<

[ishmoo21]

just cuz its not in development doesnt mean someone doesnt know how to create tabbed searches for it anf plus a new version (2.4.5.2) came out july 4

[Lite]

Its almost impossible to add tabbed searches to KLK++ as theres no source code to KMD ;) and this version simply updates third party tools&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; Its the same program as 2.4.3&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Extactly what Lite said. After the origonal Kazaa Lite K++ stopped developing. Resurrection and tools arouse. These versions only make little changes and update 3rd party tools. They dont make any changes to the core of kazaa itself, nor klextensions. So when u say a new version of kazaa came out, 2.452, nothing about the core of kazaa changed. Just the 3rd party tools, and minor setting changes.

ONCE AGAIN, KAZAA LITE K++ IS NOT IN DEVELOPMENT. K-LITE, HOWEVER, IS IN DEVELOPMENT&#33;&#33;&#33;

i thought there was source code to kmd2.02? I think i remember it floating around a loooooong time ago... :unsure:

[nsane]

but it would still be VERY difficult to do it, plus you&#39;d have to rewrite kazaa which might interfer with ASM of K++ then i&#39;d have to rewrite that. i mean it would just create more problems so theres really no point in trying :rolleyes:

No source code bish ;) , you are proberly reffering the k++ source code which is freely avaliable ;)

[Afronaut]

Well, atleast its nice to know somebody is till doing something
about KLite, either ++ or 2.6 or what-have-we.

:)

There seems to be still a lot of ppl using the network.

:cool2:

[erRor67]

Less than before, but there are still users. But the main problem is that there are many fakes, virus, currupts, bugus files on the network, and its leacher&#39;s paradice. <_<

@Nsane, in v2.452, did u update the about box? Like the version # and built date?

[nsane]

it&#39;s still the biggest network, i saw 3,000,000+ users online the other day ;)

and yes i updated the about box :)

btw, i&#39;m now hosted by twizt3d so if you couldn&#39;t download recently everythings online again B)

[tjprime2002]

Okay nsane, I d-loaded from mirror one and got a file labeled *klitekpp2452e* that&#39;s 3.08 MB in size. When I ran it everything went smooth til the end when I got a pop up message telling me

"c:&#092;windows&#092;system32&#092;drivers&#092;etc&#092;hosts does not exist"

Now I know C: refers to my PC, but is it something the was supposed to be installed with the program or am I missing something.

Also, whenever I try to boot up Kazaa it tells me that kazaalite.kpp has encountered a problem, blah, blah, the basic error message that pops up with XP.

I&#39;m running windows XP, home edition, version 5.1. As far as I know I&#39;m fully updated. Any help would be appreciated.

[Autumn Fox]

"c:&#092;windows&#092;system32&#092;drivers&#092;etc&#092;hosts does not exist"

Hosts is a file used to trick your computer and to disallow you to gain access to certian sites. That&#39;s good because sites listed there are phony and dangerous this way or the other. If you don&#39;t have this file you can creat it by creating a .txt file, naming it Hosts and then removing the .txt extension.


Also, never ever say that you have an error message that reads: blah, blah, blah. How the hell we&#39;re suppose to solve your problem if we don&#39;t know what the problem is. Give us the text.

[tjprime2002]

It&#39;s your typical error message that pops up on XP, It tells you what the program is and that it needs to shut down. In this case,
"kazaaLite.kpp has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
Like I said, it was the typical error message you get when a program shuts down.

Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

[nsane]

thats all it says, theres no &#39;More Details...&#39; button?

try checking &#39;Restore default settings&#39; during the installation :unsure:

and 2.4.5.3 will create the hosts file for you, ill be relasing it in a few days ;)

[Autumn Fox]

So nsane, you gonna translate it ?

[MasterofChaos]

wow...releasing 2.543..whats gonna be new in it?

[nsane]

for one, i updated mp3shield from the one in the previous releases caused problems for a few people , thought it was the same version but the file sizes are different. i guess i could call it 2.0c :blink:

second, install now creates a HOSTS file for people that don&#39;t already have one

plus i few other fixes i&#39;m forgetting :lol:

@Atumn Fox - was just about to upload the files ;)

Edit: translation files uploaded, if you want to translate for me download them off my site ;)

[Bowen747x]

nsane plz dont include anything w/ the hosts file it fucked my pc all up b4 and i it isnt any help if its just 4 blocking sites, i have other software 4 that... i also use "spy bot - S&D" and it has an option 2 prevent the HOSTS file from being changed but wen i just installed ur latest ver i do beleive it changed the HOSTS anyway.

ty B)

[nsane]

i dunno, i use add the hosts with aldo&#39;s hosts tool so i have no idea why it&#39;s ignoring read-onlys

and what do you mean dont include anything with the hosts file? it&#39;s just kazaa sites, scam sites, and ad servers :blink:

[Remember To Share]

Hey nsane,

Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.5.2, from what I&#39;ve seen so far, works just as good as all the previous versions. So thanks for the update. I did notice a few minor things. After I installed it (overtop of 2.4.4), it changed my settings for K-Sig (but nothing else was changed). I also noticed that the issue that some people have mentioned of connecting to bad supernodes with only a little over 90 000 users still exists. Although that&#39;s not your fault of course. Jumping supernodes usually fixes that. I have two questions though. What exactly is K Magnet for? I opened it and it said that it wasn&#39;t registered. So I chose to register it. Now when I open it, it does nothing at all. What is it for and how is it used? Second, what are those manifest files that get installed in the Kazaa Lite K++ folder? What are manifest files?

[djchris]

@rts .manifest files create the "xp look" on kazaa.
@nsane kmagnet doesn&#39;t work for me neither. I hope you fix it soon.

[Lite]

nsane doesnt make kmagnet... how can he fix it? Its made by FTFakes (http://kmagnet.tk) .
Kmagnet isnt meant to open, all its meant to have is one screen, which asks you to reigster it as the default magnet handler..... its only there to accept magnet links.....

[Entity101]

Uhhm, aren&#39;t Magnet links useless anyway? Nobody uses the Kazaa style ones.

[Lite]

Bitzi and sharethefiles both offer kazaa style magnet links

[nsane]

after you run it ya just need to click a magnet link, there no gui or anything to the program. thats why nothing pops up after that first message, so it is working ;)

[MasterofChaos]

r u getting ready to install the 2.5.4.3?

[nsane]

im waiting for the polish translations ;)

[erRor67]

what about adding PeerGuardian to the installer? Thats a good program to block IPs. :unsure:

[Lite]

K++ has a built in IP Blocker, why you need another one :unsure: and PG isnt very good.

[Autumn Fox]

THe polish translation is ready, be aware though, it a rough one, let&#39;s say an early beta. Also the work on PG 2 is steadly underway.

[erRor67]

Oh yeah, forgot theres a built-in. Anywayz, I use protowall, but i thought it would have been wize for adding PG, bu tyeah, forgot about the built-in one. :frusty:

[MeDieViL]

dont add a hostst file&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

it slows slow pc down very much

plz dont include it&#33;&#33;&#33;

[Autumn Fox]

#1 nsane most likely will add the HOSTS file as it is useful.

#2 What do you mean, by: Slows down the computer ? T
The SVCHOST.EXE consuming up to 99% of CPU time ? True, it does, however after a minuter or two the CPU usage, by SCVHOST.EXE, drops completely.

#3 And besides, even though the HOSTS file is added to the installer, the instalation of it is up to you.

[erRor67]

The HOSTS file is optional. And the SVCHOST.EXE only takes up the cpu if the file is big. And you can disable the cpu eating by disabling the DNS Server. You dont really need it.

[nsane]

2.4.5.3 released, see first post for details

[Only]

I have an error when I click on the installer (WinMe):

See the screen here (http://klite.2ya.com/error.png).

[Autumn Fox]

Perhaps the installer isn&#39;t compatibile with WinME :unsure:

[djchris]

the installer doesn&#39;t works for me neither (using windows xp pro sp1)

[Remember To Share]

Hey nsane,

Thanks again for another update. I have noticed an error in the installation process of 2.4.5.3 that was also in 2.4.5.2. Even if a person selects to "Update from the methlabs.org blocklist", it doesn&#39;t put the correct data in the updater.ini file. It puts the link for the bluetack.co.uk link in there instead. Also, changes are made to the Kazaa Lite K++ Options and the KL Extensions Options and the other tools that come with Kazaa Lite K++. The installer works for me and I&#39;m using 98 SE. The link for the methlabs.org blocklist is http://www.methlabs.org/sync/guarding.p2p.zip

Changing the options back to my preferences isn&#39;t that annoying though :)

The MP3 Shield&#39;s updater works now as well.

Happy downloading :)

[nsane]

thats weird, i think it may be another bug in inno :unsure:

here&#39;s my script for the ini, anybody see anything wrong?

[djchris]

i think you made it compatible with win98 but no with 2000/me/xp :huh:

[nsane]

i was actually just trying to only allow support up to winME for win32 and winXP SP1 for winNT users (which is what k++ is compatible with), but the version numbers i used were also being blocked :blink:

anyways, i started uploading the fixed version before i left for for work, around 8, so the fixed versions been uploaded for 6 hours now :)

[Only]

That work now with me on WinMe.

[fa1sal_]

i just downloaded this and installed it but when it starts up, it does NOT connect. It says "connecting..." and stays there. Is there any reason for this?

[Autumn Fox]

This question has been asked few hundreds times. Search the forum.

[djchris]

i installed k-lite 2.4.5.3 over winxp using "compatibility mode for windows 2000", anyway i dont have the xp look. Hope you fix it soon ;)

[nsane]

so you didnt install it regularly? :unsure:

and it was diplayed as a component but not installed? :blink:

[ishmoo21]

nsane i just upgarded from 2.4.5.2 to 2.4.5.3 and now it will not connect
do you have any idea whats wrong or do you need more info

[zepher]

Okay, I&#39;ve been offline for a bit and so today I have checked to see what&#39;s new for Kazaa and I&#39;m now once again I&#39;m in ongoing delema and not sure what&#39;s the best version to use again. Looking at this link
hxxp&#58;//www.klite.prv.pl/ I see some newer things although nothing is dated.

I&#39;ve just read every thread in this thread from nsane but on his sig when I go to his site there are no clickable download links for his version and just lists all the changes and updates of programs - where is his download link? Also how come nsane&#39;s version is not officially listed on the link above? I&#39;d like to try it to see if it&#39;s better than my 007?

I have had Resurection 007 installed which has been since it came out and see now they have version 0076 and now don&#39;t know if I should upgrade to it or move to one of these others?

I also see that there is now K-Lite v2.6 RC22 ..jeeeprs, what&#39;s to do?

Maybe I should just stay with my older 007 but I see there is only 70 k users and so somethin&#39;s up there - I jump supernodes and it&#39;s back to 3 mil but then afterwhile it&#39;s back to 78k again.
Also the IP range updater has downloaded the same ip range file for a long time now so I think my versions is not up to date or something?

It&#39;s just so hard to keep up with what version of Kazaa to use these days and to understand which one is the one that I want to use :blink: I think simplicity is best without too many bells & whistles though..

thanks for listenin

Make the installer only write the last line. Works fine here with all versions of inno setup :rolleyes:

@ zepher, that site isnt a good one <_< , installs a dialer/spyware on your pc :rolleyes: , go to nsanes site, its more trust worthy :01:

[djchris]

nsane&#39;s version is better than KLR 007. ;)

Okay @ Lite thanks.

I&#39;ve never yet seen the dialer from klite.prv.pl yet but my Internet Zone is set tight witout scripts, etc, and all is disabled; unless you mean the installers themselves install a dialer?

Anyway I finally got the nsane.twizt3d.net site to work by adding it & the ru one to my Trusted Zone to give it Scripts, etc... and then the left frame came up where it was blank before and now I could toggle the different versions in.

Now I just need to firgue out which one of the Kazaa versions there I wan&#39;t to install over my KLR 007 version :unsure:

[zepher]

Originally posted by djchris@1 August 2004 - 17:23

thanks djchris,

I just need to figure out what the differences are - and most importantly what those differences mean to me - between:

Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.5.3
&
K-Lite v2.6 RC22
&
Kazaa Lite Resurrection 0.0.7.6 (Kazaa Lite K++ 2.5.6)
&
I don&#39;t think KMD is in the mix to consider though?

...........compared to my older 007 v2.50 now

I go through this every few months and never can get a handle on whats what and who&#39;s who and which one I can really really trust.

My eyes have gone blurry from reading all the posts :blink:

[ishmoo21]

hey what about my question
look up
i need help

[nsane]

@zepher - my package is really just an updated 2.4.3, where as KLR has added bugs from trying to change things (which they obviously failed at) :lol:

K-Lite 2.6 - is based of the KMD 2.6.0 core where as KLR & 2.4.x use the old 2.0.2 core. but 2.6 adds a few features that arent available in 2.0.2 such as tabbed searches, better magnet support, connects to the new supernodes, and a few other things. plus its actually in development where as K++ development has stopped and i said before i just made an updated K++ installer with KLE 0.57a & new/updated tools ;)

overall, id say 2.6 is the best and i reccomend using 2.4.5.3 only if 2.6 doesnt work


@ishmoo21 - its a common problem with all versions of kazaa (lite), try searching the forum a few times for "connect" & "connecting". also try searching over at my-k-lite.com ;)

[ishmoo21]

nsane i looked through the whole forum but i cant find the answer
i tried the reg thing but no luck cuz it didnt work

edit: nevermind i got it to work thanks

[nsane]

uninstall kazaa lite, delete all traces (files & registry), reinstall and try File > Jump Supernode a few times

edit: didnt catch yer edit :P

[zepher]

nsane,

thank you for your reply&#33; ..very much appreciated

may I also ask what&#39;s the difference between these?

K-Lite v2.6 RC22
K-Lite v2.6 RC22 nsane install

How is your installation file different than theirs please?

[Autumn Fox]

nasane&#39;s install of K-Lite RC22 additionally has kazaa.exe and magnet.exe incorporated in them (standart instalation doesn&#39;t have them, so you must get them elsewhere)

[zepher]

Okay Autumn Fox thanx, and I see that answer as well on nsane&#39;s site (nsane.twizt3d.net) in the download section.

Thanks again to nsane for your reply - and especially for your work on the project&#33;

thank you

..after reading everything I will use the nsane install of K-Lite v2.6 RC22

With the older resurection 007 version that i have installed now, i had some settings and especially the Columns i had set up just the way i wanted - - my question is if it&#39;s okay if i just install the 2.6 over the 007 so that I can retain my present settngs?

thank you again.


Later this Edit...
Whoops, I guess I won&#39;t use v2.6 RC22 afterall since it won&#39;t install right and gives a few errors of which I could never actually start the program either.
~Unable to execute host manager.exe
~Wouldn&#39;t start and said it was missing files and to reboot and/or reinstall which none of that helped.
~Also I didn&#39;t care for how it totally messed up my host file - i think there needs to be an option for people to choose if they do/don&#39;t want to install that host manager thingy&#33;

Anyway, I restored every single thing that the RC22 install did, and then installed klitekpp2453.exe to try that and that worked just fine keeping all of my previous settings, etc - and so I will just use this for now.

I would of installed the Kazaa Lite Resurrection 0.0.7.6 to try also but since nsane said it had bugs i didn&#39;t try it yet - I wonder what those problems were though?

My eyes have gone blurry from reading all the posts :blink:
It would be nice, would it not, if the people responsible for these differing Kazaa versions would get together, compromise and simply release one coherent, truely great Kazaa-Lite product or version thereof?

Much in the way that there used to be a "Kazaa K++" and a "Kazaa-Lite". Then merging into one for the uber popular "Kazaa-Lite K++".

Just something everyone could endorse. At the moment, it is like shopping around for a good eMule or Bitorrent version. Too damn many to keep track of.

[nsane]

well K-Lite 2.6 is the only client currently in real development, KLR & K++ are currently just updates ;)

[MasterofChaos]

will install 2.4.5.3 later

[nsane]

ok, i fixed the xp look & ip blocker download location problems ;)

let me know if you find anymore problems

[Remember To Share]

Hey nsane,

Do you think that when you release 2.4.5.4 (if you plan to), you could make sure that everything works the way it should and that the installer works the way it should before you release it. In a general sense I mean :)

Also, I&#39;ve noticed that some people talk about the HOSTS file causing them trouble. Some of the HOSTS files that are available on the web have entries in them that are not dangerous sites. Some regular sites such as www.msn.ca, www.wwe.com, sympatico.msn.ca, and maybe some others get blocked or don&#39;t load correctly because some people may not know that they have to remove those entries from their HOSTS file. Along with that, their HOSTS file may be locked/read-only so they may not know that they have to unlock the file first before making changes to it.

Nonetheless, we are appreciative of your offerings of K++ updates :)

[Remember To Share]

nsane,

I found something else that was wrong. I had to uninstall and reinstall K++ recently, and I noticed that at first I wasn&#39;t able to connect to the network at all. So I had to go get Error 403&#39;s reliable supernode list and once I put that in my registry, then I was able to connect. So maybe in 2.4.5.4, you may want to include a .reg file composed of Error 403&#39;s supernode list. I read on your site that you included that list in 2.4.5.3. I just don&#39;t know why it didn&#39;t go into my registry when I uninstalled and reinstalled 2.4.5.3.

[ishmoo21]

wait when you updated the ip blocker and xp look is that part of 2.4.5.3
so do i have to download it again
thanks

[nsane]

@RTS - 1) i tested my installation script but for some reason inno&#39;s been acting buggy 2) i added his supernode list, so its obviously not my fault (look at the change log)

@ishmoo - yes, you have to download it again ;)

[ishmoo21]

is it me or is the nsane site not up and running at least the site that goes from nsanes links
o and do i have to forward any ports to get kazaa going faster
sorry for all the problems i have

[Lite]

nsanes been having problems with his host ;)

Are you behind a router :unsure:

[ishmoo21]

yea i have a linksys befsr41 and i already forwarded ports for azureus but i need to know if i have to for kazaa

fwiw ...i noticed at first that at nsanes site that nothing would show up in his left pane and that&#39;s where he has his stuff to download, so what i had to do was put his site in my trusted zone so that (was it) activex or scripts ..or whatever could be used to show his suff, otherwise it did not show. also interesting is that I had to put both of his websites in my trusted zone for it to work as well. i&#39;m also behind a netgear router but that did not cause me any problems

..anyway, let me take this oppurtunity to thank nsane for the time taken to put 2453 together because it is the client of my choice for me and what I want, imho...

[nsane]

yea i have a linksys befsr41 and i already forwarded ports for azureus but i need to know if i have to for kazaa

yes, you need to foward ports 1214 and the port from the firewall tab in the options

@zepher - yeah, my site has a break frame scripts for redirects or improper linking from another site ;)

[Gilojeleia]

The site is with problems... :huh:


"This account has been suspended"



:ghostface:

[ishmoo21]

sorry for another question but if i forward 1214 should i uncheck the thing in the options that says disable port 1214
wow im keeping this post alive but thanks to everyone whos helped me

[Gilojeleia]

Where can I find this Kazaa 2.6? <_<

[Autumn Fox]

Either here: K-Lite 2.6 Board (http://my-k-lite.com/internationalforums/)

or

use my sig.

[ishmoo21]

no one knows the answer to my question at towards the bottom of page 9

[nsane]

yes, enable port 1214 (uncheck it), should be that way by default :blink:

btw, my sites back online (twizt3d just disappeared :o )

[ishmoo21]

thanks nsane and great site - glad its back up

[Skydragon]

does 2.4.5.3 give you ads or spywears?

[nsane]

no, thats the whole point of kazaa lite isnt it?

[Autumn Fox]

And if it does, you got screwd in the ass without KY :angry:

What do you mean ?

[nsane]

i&#39;ve added Dutch and Italian translations for all you, well, Dutch and Italian Kazaa Lite users :P

[MasterofChaos]

so is this the end of k++?? since theres nothing to add but updated tools

[nsane]

kinda, since there isnt anyone actually reprogramming it - at the moment atleast. so, if you really want more features use K-Lite 2.6 ;)

[endersgame21]

There will never be anything as good as Kazaa Lite K++. The only way I would ever upgrade is if Sharman acutally updated Kazaa itself IE actual tabbed searching, etc. Either that or the 2.4.x nodes deminish to the point where I can&#39;t get anything.

I like the idea of 2.4.5.3....just updating tools...you don&#39;t really need anything else changed its a pretty solid set up. And I would suggest that people stick with 2.4.x because that way you keep those nodes going and that might possibly result in a "k-lite subnetwork." If that actually happened you wouldn&#39;t have to worry about Sharman ever kicking us off the network and you would also get rid of a lot of the lamers that share fake files and viruses, etc (I am assuming that the people that do that are mostly kazaa users rather then k-lite users)

[Autumn Fox]

Yawn, mnhmnh, huh ? E, K-Lite 2.6 has tabbed searches :) Hik. And an equivalent of K++, KHancer. Yea.

[endersgame21]

Yea but it isn&#39;t real tabbed searches, you can&#39;t do multiple searches at once. That feature is a piece of crap and that is all Sharman has really done to update Kazaa in the past year.

And I guess it all depends on personal preference but IMO KHancer isn&#39;t anywhere near K++.

[nsane]

you can have more than one search going, there&#39;s just a bug that cause a crash if the first tab doesnt find any results. but the K-Lite devs are talking about upgrading to 2.6.3 :)

and K-Lite actually has a few more advantages over K++, like the magnet link handler supports web based file sources so you can send hash links to other users and provide multiple working sources in the link so they dont have jump nodes for half an hour

me and a friend of mine are actually trying to put this feature to good use, see here (http://klddl.clicdev.com) for more info ;)

2.4.5.5 released, see first post for details :)

[djchris]

nsane, your 2.4.5.5 version of klite k++ have some bugs:

1- mp3shield doesn't have an icon
2- supernodes are always down (can't connect to kazaa, i had to search for an online supernode for aprox 30 minutes)
3- magnet links are not registered automatically (dont know why)
4- search tab displays "page not found" error (i have supertrick installed)

hope u fix it soon ;)

[nsane]

ok, try 2.4.5.6 B)

[nsane]

2.4.5.7 released, see first post for details and downloads :)

[djchris]

Well nsane:

1) When I click on tools it displays a "no tools" message.
2) Dude! there are too many unnecesary tools. They make the installer bigger every new version. KCF? whats that? and kchecker? (never heard of it) The K-lite codec pack includes GSpot too.
3) I think magnet links can't be automatically registered (on my pc i have to open the kmagnet.exe file manually)

BTW, Great work on updating 2.4x version! ;)

Edit: Im using WinXP

Hey nsane,

You have been doing great with keeping K++ alive (it's good to see that some people have not given up on Kazaa Lite). I did notice a few things with 2.4.5.7.

On the Tools menu there is a thing called VirtualDub, but there is no icon for it and when i click on it, it says that that the file cannot be found. What is VirtualDub? (I didn't see it as a tool to install in the setup).

The link for K-Lite IRC Chat doesn't work anymore (I guess it's been changed).

In the setup, you made the Bluetack link the default for the Bad IP Updater again.

K++ seems to be getting a little bulky with all the added tools.

I'm surprised that in the About Kazaa Lite K++ box, Sharman Networks hasn't been removed from the Special Thanks section yet. Sharman Networks tried to get rid of Kazaa Lite entirely, they don't deserve any thanks anymore.

A feature that I think would be very good to put into Kazaa Lite is that when a bad IP address is detected and blocked, you are alerted about it (similar to what Peer Guardian does). However, if this is not really possible to add, then oh well.

It would be nice if the window for KChecker was resizable (not everyone uses 1024 X 768 resolution). Although I know that you didn't make KChecker :)

Downloads and uploads work normally. Keep up the great work nsane :)

[nsane]

thanks, try 2.4.5.8 it should solve most of the problems :)

and yes i know its a little bulky, thats why i removed VirtualDub which is a media player that can play files larger than the normal limit of other players (2gigs i think :unsure: ). but hey it has the same amount of tools as KLT K++ but 9MB smaller :P

i might add virtualdub to the next release...but i think its pointless as it cant play unfinished/downloading files and the fact K++ already includes avi preview, no need for 2 media players :rolleyes:

@djchris - read the notes at the begining of the installer, theres a section that describes the tools (which are VERY useful when you know what theyre for). but you do have a point about GSpot, consider it removed from 2.4.5.9 ;)

[djchris]

Less tools, smaller installer size. Is not necessary to add virtualdub because a lot of people already have a media player installed like WMP, MPC (included in k-lite codec pack), or Avipreview (included in kazaa lite) ;)

I found another bug. I chose not to install GSpot but it still displays the Gspot "tools" shortcut in KL Extensions. have fun, nsane :)

[jimmyboy]

Nsane, I have a question. Why can't I use resource hacker anymore on this version? I thought kazaa lite K++ suppose to be an open source p2p, what's going on.

[nsane]

Nsane, I have a question. Why can't I use resource hacker anymore on this version? I thought kazaa lite K++ suppose to be an open source p2p, what's going on.

as of 2.4.5.4, most files are packed using UPX (http://upx.sf.net) (makes the program faster). you simply need to download upx and unpack the files to reshack em. if you need help unpacking it PM me ;)

@djchris - yeah, i noticed the gspot tools entries were linked to the wrong component. but that was also when i was removing gspot from the next release :P

also, you wouldnt believe how small the installer actually is compared to all the stuff it has, look at KLT K++ (13MB, for damn-near the same thing). but the actual size hog has actually been the bannedIPs file (been updated ALOT in the past few months, ~1.20MB atm)

nsane,

The version of MP3 Shield in 2.4.5.8 is version 2.0 instead of 2.0 b. I don't know if anyone had the same issue, but 2.0 b did scan mp3 files as they were being downloaded, but 2.0 did not.

In the setup, in the Select Components area, Configuration is misspelled (The Configuration Wizard).

Looking forward to 2.4.5.9 :)

[nsane]

ok, i redownloaded mp3shield from their site. but it seems to be the same file, added it any ways, to be sure...

and thanks for the heads up on the typo ;)

[nsane]

2.4.5.9 released, see first post for downloads and details :)

[Remember To Share]

nsane,

The version of MP3 Shield is still 2.0 instead of 2.0 b. Version 2.0 doesn't scan mp3 files while they're being downloaded. You used to have 2.0 b in earlier versions of K++. Also, the kmagnet.exe file has to be run manually and magnet files have to registered manually (even having that option checked in setup doesn't register them). Everything else is normal.

[nsane]

you are aware that there isnt a way to tell 2.0 from 2.0b right? the one from their site the latest version (2.0b), it just dosent say it physicly. i could change the registry entry for the version number, but it would probably mess with the update checker ;)

Well surprisingly, MP3 Shield is working now. I didn't change anything which is weird. It's just that before, it didn't show that green scanning circle on the MP3 Shield icon when I downloaded an mp3 file. Now it does :)
