KAZAA CHEATING DEVICE FOUND!!!!

[smartguy240]

GUYS I HAVE FINALLY COME ACROSS A KAZAA CHEATING DEVICE!

This lets you skyrocket your participation level to 1000!

You may say, oh who cares about that, and go ::), but this really helps, when you are remotely queued, the person with the highest participation level go first!

Guys, tell me if you would like to send me $ because i know that i am your new best freind!

Actually, this is old news. Slashdot ran a story about people using hacks like this on P2P networks. The story mainly dealt with newer ways to STOP this kind of activity, because it ultimately slows down the networks.

As in *nix and MAC OS, try to be "nice".

So it screws up my comp?

No, it slows down networks.

i never knew there was a participation level. how can i see mine? i have the old version cause i dont want 2.0 everything i search for stays in the click down menu.

Go with the "Lite"st version of Kazaa you can get. The full version is spyware.

[Kon-Tiki]

Kazaa Lite still gives annoying popups when it's running for a certain amount of time. You'll get an IE window that doesn't close in the first minute and calls other windows as well. Most of the time, the speed's terrible too.

Okay, then switch to Linux and run a plain-text gnutella client. Or switch to Mac and go with LimeWire. There are even quite a few Win alternatives to Kazaa.

Is that a Joke?

What is that suppossed to mean... people didnt start saying ... until i used it....i should put a patent on it....

[mr-t]

...?

TOO SLOW! ::)

[Andrew_Baker]

No, smartguy, I am not kidding. There are many different peer to peer applications as well as many different standards. Your likelihood of any of them having what you're looking for is about the same on any of them. I prefer the Linux gnutella clients, because they are very plain (Sorry, that should've been a plain-GUI with text interface) and aren't all Spyware-y.

[smartguy240]

Well now i use Kazaa Lite...

Mr. T...go to hell ;D
