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

People still use Kazaa?
Thanks. They prbably ment 'let's go' when they created it. Using 'Goat' seems a little weird :PQuote:

Goat as in Greatest of all Time.
thanks for the information :D
Ive used it some time. Nice info. thx.
They would have called it Sheep...but there was not one to be found during the annual Welsh bachelor feast of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.Quote:

And using 'mule' is better?:rolleyes:Quote:

Thought is was they couldnt spell crap lol
Crap was already in use ... XP is it's better knownname...
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?
Using eMule is much betterQuote:

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).Quote:
