    I've found 68 sources for "Gimme Dat Ding" by The Pipkins using Shareaza...

    EDIT: More sources being found as I speak!

    yall knock on kazaa way too much lol, I still use it today and am just fine. Ive even tried emule and bittorrent..those are the ones that are normally too slow for me, they take forever to start..as bad as trying to use verified hashes for kazaa.

    And you cant say kazaa doesnt have good songs left..just tonight i went thru and found 10 good songs i heard on the radio and wanted to DL (granted they wernt new). Yeah i found a few fakes but it didnt take long at all to start a download, preview it then try a different download if it was a fake.

    I use IRC to download the big software programs but other than that kazaa has been getting me what i want.

    all you kazaa fanboys amuse me.

    move with the times, and get with the program. the program not being kazaa in this case.

    as sad as it is to say, kazaa is a lost cause. In the hay day it was this great program and the community here was just for kazaa (k++). Yet, as the times have changed so have the programs and I have personally not used kazaa in a long time, right now it is dc++, but im at college. It is not that there is not a need for a program like kazaa, with its simplicity, but it is a matter of easy of use over the content.

    ive always been one of those people who has always said, kazaa is still great and will never die yada yada yada, but i cannot defend the network anymore, the amount of fake files is simply unacceptable, i tried to download a song today using the program and i was immediately flooded with fakes.

    so i opened up shareaza, typed in the song, first one in the list and hey presto..

    Well, new songs are gonna be corrupted/fake. Like looking for Black Eyed Peas...they are all gonna have bad IPs & fake files. (If you use K-Lite the analyze IPs helps determine this)

    Old/Rare songs are the only reason KL still lives especially theme songs from TV shows or soundstracks from old movies. This is why I still use it and ya know, it works for me.
