How do I share MY music with other kazaa users? mmm.... How do I speed up the downloading process? Thats all for now. All information and advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks. :)

First thing is a decent Anti-virus.[Nav (http://www.symantec.com/nav)]
Other thing is a firewall.[Sygate (free) (http://soho.sygate.com/default.htm)]
Then you'ld also need some adware/spyware remover. [Spybot S&D (free) (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html),Adaware (free) (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/)]

And when downloading a file,use verifieds for .exe's
After downloading the file, scan it with your anti-virus to see if it's clean or not.
(Do this before you open the file)

File with no sound= Fake/Corrupt (to the bin with it :01: )

Share your music= put the files in your shared folder

Speed up dl'ing= find lot's of sources for a file before dl'ing (as much as you can find).If that doesn't really do it,jump supernodes till you find a good one.
