Kazaa Lite Is Dead Methinks

[Biggles]

The kids use Winmx a lot - it seems quite good. I got some Small Faces songs off there no problem also.

However, there still appears to be 3.5 million users online with Kazaa - they must be doing something. People still seem to upload my daughter's strange Japanese cartoons. There is some Gundamn Wing thing going up at the moment at 19.2kbs - which seems ok to me.

Unfortunately part of the problem is that Azzz has no patience...having uploaded to him on Soulseek and been bombarded with PM's to speed my downloads up. Your best bet is to set up a download and just walk away for a while, not stare at the screen willing the dload to go faster.

A watched kettle never boils.

I still use k-lite for quick fix songs (tunes that get stuck in my head) with no probs.

Edit: Just d/l Sheryl Crow: All I wanna Do and got through 2.42 minutes of the track and the fucka started screeching

Its true Azzz, the more you watch the longer it will take

I dont agree. I find when I look at it, it comes faster. Or it appears to.

Where did you learn these tricks?

Nearly every single student at my university still uses K-Lite (usually one of the older ones like 2.4.3 rather than 2.6). The few students who have their own laptops all go and sit in the computing sciences common-room, plug in their laptops to the university network and download stuff. I often see them doing it while I am in there having a snack or a meeting with the rest of my group-members.
Sadly, the students never seem to share - I don&#39;t think the university allows people to share, but they don&#39;t seem to mind if they download in moderation. I live at home though, so I can share.
Indeed, yesterday I noticed one of the teachers had the K-Lite icon on her laptop while she was preparing for her powerpoint presentation in the lecture hall. It&#39;s funny to imagine a lecturer doing it&#33;
