Kazaa's Freakin Useless

Using Kazaa I shared GTR2002.exe on my 'puter at home about 3 hours ago. Just installed Kazaa on another PC and searched for the file. No results found. I included a keyword "GTR2002" and other details as well. That was a waste of time... - Dave

I've got 2 users downloading now (my imposed limit). I've had 10 so far today. You need to wait an hour or so for the search index to replicate. It took about 2 hours for the first user to "find" my copy yesterday - since then I've had a stream of downloaders. Please keep sharing and help spread the load! Tim p.s. - that goes for flyingv81 and puppet who are downloading now!

I just got home and someone got the whole thing! Glad to do my share :) - Dave

The searching leaves a bit to be desired. I still don't get any results when doing a search for GTR2002 - even though I've got the file shared myself!

Amazing when it shares virii so freely.... AD "Damien Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ash0pn$r8e4d$[email hidden]... > The searching leaves a bit to be desired. I still don't get any results > when doing a search for GTR2002 - even though I've got the file shared > myself! > >

Kazaa This! Ed

If you use the official Kazaa it has spyware. Use kazaa lite. http://doa2.host.sk/ instead. Uninstall your current version of kazaa and look for ad-aware www.lavasoft.de to get rid of the spyware crap and then install kazaa lite. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm

Just finished downloading Ad-aware as I was reading this. Thanks! - Dave "karkrazy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Kazaa is ad-aware aware! Ifyou run ad-aware and delete any spyware components, the next time you start kazaa it will pop up a message telling you that required components have been removed, and to re-install. However, the best thing to do is a full un-install of kazaa, then download kazaa light, which does the same job and has no spyware.

Kazaa Lite does everything the original did minus spyware, plus many other useful features. sig2dat, probably the most useful tools. It will find the exact file according to a hash. Here is the hash for GTR2002.EXE. File:GTR2002.exe Length:278356548 Bytes,271833KB UUHash:=iHIHw55bBb+IHgLRiAO7PcCvShQ= If you paste this hash into sig2dat, it will make kazaa find the GTR2002 mod but not only that, it will find the exact match. So if someone made a virus .exe that is the same size and name it won't match, since the hash doesn't. Also, someone else might a corrupted .EXE, well, the hash won't match and KL won't download it. This will save you many hours of downloading. It generates a .DAT and places it in your download folder and every time you load kazaa it will look for it in your queue. Speed up is another useful tool. Every few minutes it automatically searches for more sources for the files in your queue. So it will search while you're away or sleeping and resume download. One possibility for not finding the file you want is that the majority of the users who are sharing the mod may not be on the same server you're connected to. There are many thousands of fast track servers. So if there are only a few sharing, it would be like looking for a needle in a hay stack. But if everyone shared it, I can't see why it wouldn't be found. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm

I don't see those tools, and I'm using KaZaa lite. What menu should I be looking at? I'm using v 1.6 Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank:+6.19 N2002 Rank:+18.91 Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you with experience...

And should be found in the downloadlinks section of http://doa2.host.sk/ You basically launch them from the start menu since they are separate programs packaged with KL. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm
