I've been trying to download Obie Trice - Got Some Teeth, all evening on Kazaa Lite, and all I've got to show for it is high blood pressure, earache and four wanky corrupted copies of the song.

I did my usual thing of restricting my downloads to come from only two users, and I went right down through the search list to find the obscure copies, and I also just went for the ones with a lot of users when I saw that wasn't working. I can only assume that every other copy of this song on Kazaa is fucked.

Finally gave up with K-Lite, switched to WinMX, and got two clean copies straight away. It has reached the stage where it's a waste of time trying to get new songs on K-Lite, hasn't it?

You have to use the RIAA ip blocker in KL++ to its fullest and keep it updated to considerably reduce the chances of getting a corrupted song.

Add this to KL++'s blocklist.txt file if it's not there already:

FAKE MUSIC FILES:38.118.0.0-38.119.255.255

The search on kazaa is pretty useless for new things all you get is fakes, if you use it, only use it for old things.

Go here to section 9 in the index, it will help.Thats bs, i am downloading uptodate music all the time, i do get some fakes, but only when i have not done my homework in the search section, use this to help.

Thanks for the helpful advice, guys. To be honest, I thought I'd just get flamed for posting my frustrations, but I was pleasantly surprised :)

Hey N£MO - Why would I want to 'but' it, when I can get it for free? ;)

I havent used k-lite in months, i prefer to get files thought shareaza and bittorent where you dont have to go to the trouble of following a bunch of tips just to get files.
