Well I had Disable Port 1214 on the neweset version of Kazaa Lite AND I still got a message from the RIAA just last night !! It dosemt seem that the latest version of Kazzo lite does enough to fight of the RIAA.

I was downloading a movie while someone else  was downloading videogames from me. (I had a few mp3s up, however only video games, movies and porn were being tradeed last night when I received THIS RIAA WARNING:

Keep in mind that Im running the latest version of Kazaa Lite.. it's only a few days old. It's suposed to stop them from getting one's ip address.... Well I dont know if they got my address or not, but I have a feeling that anyone that was to reply back to one of the riaa instant mesages would be showing there ip address via the reply...

IF they messaged you, they HAVE YOUR IP.
And they also have at least a list of 1 file that you were sharing that they say you shouldn't be.

If someone is downloading/uploading to me OR I spot a file they're sharing in a search, I can get their ip without sending them a message EVEN if they have show files disabled. Replying back probably won't help/hurt -- although with good network monitoring/logging software, you could catch where the message TRIES to reply back to if you reply to it. B)

d888,

Thanks for the reply. Helps clarify some things. The link looks good. Anyone know if future vers of K-lite will include some of the security measures used by Earthstation (i.e., encryption)?

Switeck: Thanks for the info! What you say makes sence. However, I have to question why the latest version of Kazaa Lite claims that the IP address isnt visable, when based on your opinion anyone CAN still get one's ip address! - Can someone advise what's up with the latest Kazaa Lite claim that one's ip address cant be seen?

I'm still banking on Earthstation 5 to be more effective for file sharers. From all I read (for the paranoid people like me) Earthstation 5 makes a much more serious attempt at security for file sharers. How can Kazaa Lite claim the ip of sharers is invisable? Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but anyone extremely concerned about privacy should learn the basics of IPSEC (Internet Protocol Security)
It's a policy management system for Windows NT-based operating systems (except XP Home, and Media Edition), that allows blocking based on IP blocs and ports.
With a good background in IPSEC policy construction, you can assemble a good set of rules and never have to worry about the RIAA again, or worry about installing firewalls, most of which are designed for end-users, and don't provide the level of protection that would really frighten the RIAA, (such as what Symantec Velociraptor provides)

Very intersting... (gears turning)...

Is WinXp Pro an operating system that works with this?

Thanks.
