kazaa lite connection problem in xp

[Mat]

Greetings

I've just got a new laptop running XP and have installed the old version of
Kazaa Lite that I was running with no problems (connection or otherwise) on
my old Win98 system. When I try to open Kazaa Lite I get the 'connecting...'
notification in the bottom of the screen but it never connects. I have
turned off the XP internal firewall as I am using ZoneAlarm firewall and am
not sure if it this that is affecting it, although it didn't on my Win98
machine.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Mat

Most here are not going to help you with Kazaa of any flavor.

Anyway, try this latest version before Kazaa went to selling their services.
this is a good version that I use from time to time.

I wouldn't touch the Kazaa program or its network. Full of viruses, fakes,
hackers and vulnerabilities.

He is referring to Kazaa lite which has no nasty extras.

This NG seems full of anti Kazaa people. I have a fantastic collection
thanks to Kazaa, Even the original Kazaa with it's adware and spyware wasn't
a problem as long as you ran a good firewall. If you are downloading music
or movies then virus's don't come into it. If you download an application
from any peer to peer application then there is a risk of a virus, but as
there is plenty of good free anti virus software available on line, that is
no problem either.

That said. If you don't like Kazaa then don't run it, but there is no need
to continually run it or any other P2P application down.

In short: GROW UP.

Spoken like someone who has never tried it. Kazaa Lite (not KMD) is a
wonderful source to download just about anything. I have over 5,000
perfect MP3's and hundreds of software titles thanks to this network.
Where else can one find over 3,000,000 users online sharing over a
BILLION files! It has it's share of fakes and viruses just like any
other P2P network. Smart users can work around this.

Smart users? Those are the ones that are not stealing things that others
have copywrited, ones that the RIAA is not after, ones that only share
public works, etc...

I tried it. Then I fixed all the problems, and adjusted firewalls, and
tried it again. I fixed more problems, deleted it, cleaned things up and
went to WinMX and have never looked back. I would NOT have kazaa, or AOL,
or anything with "REAL" in the name.

Not sure if your top posting reply was to me or not, hard to follow top-
posters when the world is full of proper bottom posters.

Bottom posting is proper because YOU say so? I think not. Top posting is
the only way to go. No, that's wrong. It's one of many ways to go, and a
matter of personal choice.

 

[Bit Twister]

Bottom posting is proper because YOU say so? I think not.

FYI: Topposting aggravates lots of the people from whom you are asking help.
I am not one, but I also try to discourage its use because it
makes reading search engine results much easier.
As a matter of fact, this paragraph is a top post example.

You may want to read http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html
and/or http://www.dickalba.demon.co.uk/usenet/guide/faq_topp.html
Please use "alt.test" or any of the 400+ test groups ending in
.test to adjust/test your news reader to make it quit top posting.

Before anyone responds about this FYI, do read the following
results from about 1,820,000+ top posting responses found at
<http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&q=top+posting&spell=1>
so as not to repeat anyone.

Actually, it has nothing to do with me - it's the norm on Usenet and is
also the suggested method since Usenet was created. Read about it if you
don't believe me.

I have tried it you idiot, that is why I will not touch it again. There are
better p2p programs. Yes, i'll accept they also have problems, but Kazaa is
the worst

 

[Demure Guise]

So lite is free of hackers and fakes is it?

no problem either.

Perhaps if you tried other p2p programs, you will find better p2p program

That said. If you don't like Kazaa then don't run it, but there is no need
to continually run it or any other P2P application down.

I don't use it you idiot. Should have guessed that one from my original
posting. BTW I don't continually run Kazaa down but it's my opinion that it
is a terrible program but certainly by no means the worst. If you don't like
peoples' opinions then go and live in China

In short: GROW UP.

In short GROW UP and stop judging people on 2 sentences

the only way to go.

Actually, top-posting is a specially reserved Usenet feature for use
only by clueless newbies, and ****wits.

HTH,

Erm, so ashamedly attempting to get seek advice on my original query...

I wasn't referring to 2 sentences. I was referring to dozens of posting you
find on here day in day out, but if the cap fits......

HTH,

There is nothing wrong with being new to something. Everyone has to start
somewhere. I imagine a lot who try Usenet for the first time and get flamed
by a prat like you never use it again.

There seems to be more abuse and bad language than sensible replies. I only
visit these groups occasionally. It isn't long before I get fed up with
spending more time reading past the likes of you for the odd peace of useful
information.

As for top posting. I see nothing wrong with it either. Just because it
wasn't the norm in the past doesn't mean it can't change. Russia was
communist long before Usenet started and they changed.

Top posting, as well as not snipping the parts that are no longer needed
is indeed a method of the new, uninformed users.

Imagine people reading usenet like you do a book - it starts at the top,
progresses down the page, with new content at the bottom. At least in
most English based groups.

You don't have to like it, but if you are going to use something
properly then you should follow the basic directions. If you have no
intention of following the directions then don't complain when others
point it out to you - or stop using something you don't intend on using
properly.

Not only wasn't it the norm in the past, it's not the norm now.

Are you a netcop? Who cares if someone top or bottom posts. The problem
should be with one's inability to read. I simply reply in kind, and neither
format matters to me!
