Apparently I D/L more off KaZaa than I share. My Participation Level is staying pretty low and it is killing my D/L times. The only thing I keep in my "Shared Folder" is music................I throw all the "good" stuff over to the server.:D I guess my taste in music isn't all that popular, because I don't get a large amount of uploads, well, not enough to keep up with my downloads.

So, I guess to put some more popular stuff in there to help me out. For you KaZaa users, what are your most popular uploads? Should I keep a few nudie pics on there? Or what songs do you think would get the most traffic?

Thanks!

Did you know that the music industry has a list of like 4000 people they are going to be pulling into court for grabbing music off the net? I guess there is a website where you can go see if you name is on it. I'll have to find the URL.
 






Try putting a couple of small ****o movies on, I did and they are always being downloaded.

Has there been any kind of notice as to who they are going after, I normally download a song then move it into another non-shared folder so should I be safe.
 






i have my kaaza lite automatically download to a folder that is not the programs shared folder..... the shared folder on my computer never physically sees any files....

I'd like to see that page if you find it...
 






I have heard all the hype about the "industry" coming after song sharers. I never keep more than 100 songs before I burn them and then delete them. Most of the time, I have much less. I got a feeling I am WAY down on the list of priority abusers.

But yea, that link would be cool. It would be interesting to see if I am on it.

Cartman, I thought of the same thing. Do you put the vids under generic names like "sex" or "blonde having sex" or something like that? Something simple that attracts the masses?
 






http://www.kazaalite.tk/

Kazaa Lite kills all the popups and spyware, and it also gives you a shared participation level of 1000, which is "K-lite master." It also improves many features, I suggest downloading it.
 






I use KaZaaLite.............................and no, it doesn't give you 1000. Or am I doing something wrong? The only time I could get to 1000 was with the older (2.0 I think) version when you could use the hack file.
 






if you want, just go to http://kazaahack.250x.com/ and download the kazaa hack. it makes your level 1000. i was using it for a while. i dont know if it works with the latest version of kazaa though.
kazaa is becoming less reliable though, with what Rick said about going to court, and the government, or whoever is doing it, is putting out fake files for ppl to download, its making me go back to hotline, and mirc.
 






Make sure you have the newest version of Kazaa Lite. My participation level didn't go to 1000 til I updated. Just search for it on Kazaa..
 






Thanks for the advice guys. I went to that link that Derek put up and d/l'ed KaZaa Lite K++ and I became K-Lite Master 1000! WOOHOO!!!
 






yah guys BE CAREFULL .. two people from around me got called to court - they are facing 250,000 in fines and if they can't pay that i think its 2 years in jail :eek:
 






Oh my goodness, thats not good, I use it all the time as well, usually just burn a cd, then delete it after having moved it to my personal, non share space, but I keep hearing this stuff about getting into trouble over it, it makes me wonder........:rolleyes:
 






ya thats why i use imesh, you get pop-ups but i've got decent firewall
 






Ok so the higher you level the faster you can DL? tis does not make sense. my level is like 10-15 and can get like 150kbps-350kbps it's not that fast but kinda quick
 






The higher number gives you higher priority. If you and someone else with a higher number are trying to get the same file, that person will basically "bump" you.
 






and the speed of your download depend on the person your downloading from. if you have dsl and hes got a 56k, youll download at like 2 k/sec. and i think if you have a very high participation level, it will allow you to find even more sources, so you have the ability to download faster.
 






Here's the list of people on the RIAA list
hit list
 






Link doesn't work for me.
