Will we never see k-lite again? :(
Pete.
No.
Well I'm glad that's sorted :rolleyes:
Assuming they haven't found a way to kick out users with existing versions of K++,
just get an old version. Or a better p2p app. :)
what you people on about ?
does that mean the board shuts down ? :(
This day it doesn't :)
EDit: made an unintentional double negation. :rolleyes:
If Klite does go down we should all team up with the RIAA and other anti P2P orgs and fuck Sharman Networks right up.
Bunch of hipocrit wankers i hope they get lepracy

but if you did that then you wouln't be able to share at all - you're not taking the news very well, there are better P2P networks than FasttrackQuote:

No No. I just meant to bring down S N on their ass because they are being wankers
I dont really use Klite to download things.

Ok Ok, is the fastrack network being shutdown ? or the kazaa-lite program ? ?
maybe if it shuts down the whole forum should just be about bit torrent as not many use kazaa anyways
Nope ,just no new versions of klite. :(Quote:

Sharman want to release a new version of Kazaa that block K-Lite .So fuck Sharman. :angry:
Today, Kazaa Lite K++ fans discovered that virtually every download mirror of this client has been eliminated, including links on its home page. Sharman went to the ISP of every website that hosted Kazaa Lite K++ and ordered its removal via the DMCA. Any mention of Kazaa Lite K++ on the homepage has been ominously replaced with links to eMule, BitTorrent and SoulSeek.
A representative of Sharman Networks spoke to us on the condition of anonymity regarding their current campaign to vanquish Kazaa Lite K++.
Not only has Sharman Networks succeeded in eliminating nearly every major resource of Kazaa Lite K++, they are systematically forcing it off the network.
How you ask?
Recent upgrades to Kazaa clients (2.5 and higher) make them less tolerant with outdated or non official clients such as Kazaa Lite K++. Kazaa Lite is based on a version prior to 2.5, therefore a current supernode will not accept its shares. Although this will cause network headaches in terms of traffic, the client will not be able to participate or download off the main FastTrack network. This will effectively cluster and isolate all modified Kazaa clients from FastTrack.
Well, won't Kazaa Lite clients simply form their own sub-FastTrack network?
Sounds nice, but no. Unfortunately, the developers of Kazaa Lite helped Sharman out tremendously by disabling the supernode function. Very few users who run this client are acting as supernodes. A decentralized P2P network with all clients and no supernodes cannot exist. The effects of this extermination is already taking place, as search times and connection times are deteriorating compared to K+ (the legitimate spyware/adware free version of Kazaa.)
As time progresses, the Kazaa Lite K++ client will become so unusable that its populace will be driven off the network. This latest act from Sharman punctuates a long history of hypocrisy that involves the protection of their own intellectual property rights, yet blatantly ignoring the copyrights of others.
Perhaps RatFaced, a Kazaa Lite K++ forum mod said it best, “Ironic, that Kazaa is complaining about copyright issues, especially as K-Lite ++ stands for everything that Kazaa CLAIMS to stand for... but fails to deliver.”
DietK anyone?
Forgive the obvious question, but if K+ is spyware and adware free, what's the problem with using it.
sharman doesn't like the idea that we are using a program which has no advertsQuote:

no adverts means no customers so adverts = money and if everyone is using lite then they get none and become unhappy
they are pulling out all stops to stop this program from actually staying afloat
i will upgrade to 2.6 but wheres the clean version :huh:
Can't we clean KaZAaA ourselves? :huh:
It's been done before.
Thataway, we could download Sharman's latest stuff and still use it as K-Lite.
We'd need dummy-files though, to make it as simple as possible, but that's all we'd need to download. We could have a K-lite mod-pack or something, instead of a full proggie. :unsure:

Exactly, where's the clean version that is mentioned in the article.
Is that from Sharman, if so what's the point. Surely they need the adverts for their business model to work, as you so rightly point out.Quote:

I cannot understand why they would produce a spyware/adware free version. There must be something I am missing.

THEY WANT MONEY
MONEY DOES NOT GROW ON TREES
adverts equals money
more adverts more money
no adverts no money
capiece?
I'm talking about
which is in your post and implies that there is a legitimate spyware/adware free version.Quote:

I just wondered why they would produce such a thing.
I do understand how advertising generates income, I did mention their business model a few posts ago.
@ J'Pol, sharmen produce a ad-free version to make money also, they charge $30 for the privlage...
@ scribblec, kazaa 2.6 has a loader now (made by rn), so its pretty clean now as no dlls are loaded and no spyware is needed for it to work :)
Thanks for that.Quote:

Right I have read it and now understand you! :)
He means RN has written a loader which cuts out a lot of the other crap which comes with KMD 2.6 (such as gator). All you need is to drop the Kazaa.exe from KMD 2.6 and the new klr.exe into your existing K++ program folder, and run klr.exeQuote:

Lots of things crash under Win 98, thats why ppl upgraded to Win 2K/XP
Well, did you try them on PII 400MHZ ? Yes, some of us still have those slow machines... :(Quote:

yes, you can snny. i have never installed k-lite once the whole time i've been posting on this forum. i use the dummy cydoor file from www.cexx.org , the relevant html page is www.cexx.org/neuter.htm. the one that talks about cydoor is www.cexx.org/cydoor.htm.basically, just remember to stick with an old version of kazaa. i use kazaa2.11Quote:

here is what i do:
first i install regular kazaa2.11 , immediately clease all the spy crap completely except cydoor.
install the dope wars update available from cexx. here is a direct download, WARNING! do NOT click this link unless you want to download the update
dope wars link
ok the update supposedly installs the dummy cydoor file to your computer, so kazaa still works, but no ads. i never get any pop up ads with kazaa.
enjoy!
i use kazaa lite, but i dont see the point in putting the lite part at the end since its the same damn program.

The dummy clint.dll doesn't work with the latest kmd.
Edit: and searches are failing on out-of-date versions connected to new version supernodes, which kinda forces everyone to update to kmd2.6.
