Newbie Needs Help, I'm Clueless

[Redwing19]

I've been out of the whole P2P world for a long time.

I had used Kazaa Lite about a year and a half ago. In fact I still have it on my system. If I click on help and goto "About Kazaa Lite", it says it is Build 1 of version 2.0.2. It was built on Thursday November 28th (which apparently means 2002).

There must be a newer version around. I went to kazaalite.com, but it looks rather suspicious to me. I don't remember having to register to download my current version.

I read a couple articles (from Dec 8th 2003) saying that Kazaa was going after Kazaa Lite and that it is no longer available.

Another article I read said Kazaa Lite was becoming obsolete, or wouldn't support the newer and better P2P networks.

I then read another article (which linked me to this forum) talking about Kazaa Lite teaming up with K++ to become "Kazaa Lite K++".

Is this what I should be using?

I feel like I'm solving a puzzle or something. It seems none of the information I've read is current, and I have no idea what P2P software is out there, let alone the best.

Hopefully someone out there can help me.

just look into another p2p
you seem pretty smart, look into irc/bittorrent/newsgroups for your download's

Kazaa is all but dead. Anyone with a clue has moved on to other p2p programs.

Bit Torrent is the best out there right now.... at least in my humble opinion.

K-Lite lives on !!

You can go to http://www.oldversion.com if you want version 2.4.3 (the last main version of K-Lite) or you can go to http://www.fasttrackhelp.com/developmentforums if you want to try version 2.6 of K-Lite (although at the moment it's still in beta stage, but I think it's good).
