Shrinkin' Kazaa-community......

(i post here since i dl movies only and cos i'm mainly curious on repercussions in that area)


Everone can see the shrinkin' of the kazaa-community.
4months ago when i started in the morning there were about 4 million users online, during the day going up to 5 million.

Now it is 2.6 in the morning up to 3.5 , 36 in the afternoon/evening.

Following the news on tv or the paper i should believe it's the riaa, mpia(?), stichting brein(dutch) and their threats in pressreleases that make people leave.

Can anyone tell me if there even has been one conviction??

How solid a case do they have with just an ip and a list of supposedly "shared" songs/movies?

What kind of users are actually leaving? (leeches, sharing-diehards, etc)
And what kind of files will be harder to get??

Could it actually be good for downloading, cos less "bottlenecks"??

And finally; where are they going??
(i know all the alternatives like bittorrent(not totally "save" btw), but is the community really shrinking or just relocating/spreading)

Would appreciate fullsentenced replys!! :P

PS Don't know if this tip ever came up, so i try it as a ps first:


When i have a big list of movies queued, i type "movie" in the searchwindow, at least 640 mb and autosearch more.
After a while i get the best sources for a lot of titles popping up...........

if its not in filesharing its in movieworld :lol:

:huh: Yogi

I can't speak for everyone here, but I rarely use Kazaa anymore. There are bigger and better P2P options available, and so I use those instead. ;)

i stopped using k-lite because the ft network (on which k-lite runs) is flooded with fake files and virii

i now use IRC, newsgroups, bittorent et al

Well, I won't be quitting Kazaa anytime soon... it's still the best for me.

Shareaza is #2, and everything else is way behind.

Seriously, on FastTrack you can dl mainstream files quickly (music, small progs, etc.), and Shareaza allows you to dl new releases from eDonkey AND BitTorrent.

I think people are mostly quitting kazaa because of the RIAA, because i know a lot of people who haven't even heard of edonkey, and other such networks. It's sad really... the RIAA's scare tactics are actually working.

I don't think kazaa is dying yet, u have 2 remember that there was a black out in America and in canada... plus it's the summer, u have 2 take all of that into consideration.. I also back up wot Ynhockey says, Kazaa is the best for getting movies just about every movie is out there....

Hit it right on the money

There are less people on kazza these days because there are much better programs out there to get what you want. Its not the fact that its illegal to share music , films. Maybe a small percentage have left becasue of that but the majority left becasue they want better download speeds, quick release of material and verification of files.

Kazza just doesnt do that anymore. Its old news basically.

this is in the wrong forum....but I agree Kazaa seems to be going downhill as of late.

i love this kazaa lite forum community they have made 3 threads on one topic, guys keep up the good work

dont worry spam isnt the problem on this Forum

Amatures!!!!!!!


Thread 1 (same topic)


Thread 2 (still the same topic)

@ Makaveli-tha-don: Your sig is way too big; is it that hard to resize it?
BTW: there is no need for that language. ;)




@ certain members: It might be that the original poster of this topic didn't read the entire forum prior to posting, but that doesn't give anybody the right to attack him/her for it for it; doesn't tolerance keep this board running? ;)

Anyways....in regards to the title, I have started experimenting on other p2p such as dc++, shareaza and the like. Personally, Shareaza is better in that i know i dont waste time on fakes....albeit slower. But it aint that good to make me uninstall Kazza lite. I still use kazza lite and love it despite wot everyone else says. But i honestly didnt know that others using different p2p rated us really low, the impression i received anyway.

One thing i have noticed tho is that the forum here is much better. The people over there spend half the time slaggin kazza off saying we all dumb etc and cant wait for us to fall down blah blah. I have responded of course...but to come back here finding you guys slaggin each other off... :( [sigh!]

{Sorry for that. It's a pity some people here don't know taking prozac would make them more likeable, instead of flaming the board.
First time ever it happened in a thread i started....}

But thank you for getting back on the initial topic, cos that was my goal, hearing from other movielovers how they experience the (ever-)changing p2p-situation.


Grtz,

:) Yogi

Btw. I allso still love Kazaa-lite, even though the struggles sometimes.
But it's free, hey? And all the goodies make mre then up for that........

Will try Shareaza again.
