Kazaa Slowly returning to its glory??

[KDB3K]

I moved to limewire a while ago, and I haven't returned to Kazaa yet. I'll have to give it a try!

OK! but....don't use "Kazaa"....use "K-Lite".

The latest version is v2.7RC1

Still uses FastTrack but uses KShield to install KMD so you don't get
all the Adware, spyware and other garbage associated with KMD.

One important feature of RC1:

The Fake Analyst Tool.
It uses the Banned IP’s you’ve downloaded to filter out any possible
(fake/corrupt) files put on the FastTrack Network by anti-P2P organizations.

Does it support skins?

Does it support skins?

Yes it does. When you go to K-Lite>Options>Skins there is a method
of installing skins.

Click on the link in my post, go to About/Features>KMD Options> and scroll down to Skins for more info.

You will note however:
"It is recommended to leave this setting on 'Classic (No Skin)"

HOld up, i cant run this program, something about K shield and its trying to find a exe file?

There is no exe file in the folder.

Ok, you need to follow the Installation Guide

Go to my link again (K-Lite's homepage) click on "Downloads" (on top) and you'll see the two files that K-Lite needs for it to install: 1) K-Lite v2.7 RC1 and 2) Kazaa272_en.exe (KMD).
The Installation Guide link is also located on the bottom.

Then you need to know where you downloaded the files to.

So what happened in your case, KShield was asking you to point to where your kazaa272_en.exe (KMD) file is located so it could install Kazaa but without the ads/spyware.

Uninstall what you have now, read through the Installation Guide, and then try it again.

Take your time and read through the FAQ's and About/Features to learn about the bells and whistles.

Also, if you have had Kazaa/K-Lite before it would be a good idea to uninstall any old programs to get rid of all kazaa remnants before you install K-Lite 2.7RC1.
You can use K-Cleanup 1.2.5 for this...then reboot.

(If you were using FastTrack before (Kazaa) and you want to resume your unfinished downloads, you could move your .dat files to a temporary location and then back into your new My Shared Folder with 2.7RC1).
However, if you happened to have any corrupt downloads (if you didn't use the new Fake Analyzer in 2.7RC1, there is a good possibility that you do) I would recommend starting with all new downloads in RC1.

Oooooh alright, cool. I will sign up over to that forum as well.

I will check out everything later. Thanks.

Yeah, I was going to recommend you do that.

When you do, register and then post any questions in the K-Lite v2.7 Forum, and I'll look for you there (or someone else might help also).

Start your new thread by saying that you "just installed 2.7RC1 for the first time" and then your question or prob.

btw...if you had clicked on kazaa272_en.exe without using KShield, Kazaa may already have installed some adware/spyware (e.g. "Gain Network").
A good idea would be to run your Spybot/Ad-aware to be sure.
