Because I'm moving back to dailupland in a week, i've been doing some heavy downloading.

I ran across an alternate version of Kazaa Lite... k++ (http://www.livy.myby.co.uk/downloads/klitekpp210b3e.exe)

according to the readme, the changes are as follows:



- No Spyware.
- No Adware.
- No pop-ups.
- No banners.
- No bit rate limits for MP3 files.
- Customized start-up page (can be changed to anything you want).
- Unlimited times 'Search more' is possible.
- Multi-source downloads now have a maximum of 40 simultaneous sources (instead of 8).
- 'Find more sources' is possible once every 1-minute per file (instead of every 10 minutes).
- Participation Level is set at a constant 1000 (can be disabled)
- People to which you upload can't cut in line anymore regardless of their Participation Level. This improves the number of completed uploads and takes away the advantage that cheaters have.
- No 3rd party dll files loaded anymore (TopSearch/BullGuard).
- No more gold-colored search results (Altnet Inc).
- Fixed Kazaa's error 1030 bug.
- Shared files are scanned every 5 minutes (instead of every 1 minute) to save system resources. This can be changed to any value.
- K++ can now automatically be started with Windows. Disabled by default.
- My Shared Folder is located on the system drive by default (usually C:\My Shared Folder). This can be changed to another location easily in Kazaa Lite options.
- Added keyboard shortcuts.
- Shortcuts to My Shared Folder are now dynamic. They will always work, regardless of the location of your shared folder.
- Build in AutoSearchMore feature.
- Build in K++ Configuration tool.
- Search history can be cleaned automatically when closing Kazaa Lite.
- Systray icon can be hidden.
- Splash screen can be disabled.
- Option to prevent people from being able to see a list of all of your shared files.
- Add-on tools can be started from within Kazaa Lite.
- It is possible to start other programs from within Kazaa Lite.
- Sig2Dat quicklinks can be added directly to the download list. No need to restart Kazaa Lite.
- Various great add-on tools


you would not beleive download speeds I get with this version.

you all should go out and try it :)

here's a screenshot of the speed http://www.lowta.cx/upload/kpp.gif

I've been using K++ all along. I dunno...

I rarely use Kazaa anymore though. Newsgroups is where it's at.

I agree that newsgroups are where it's at, but most times my requests are not filled. at least the downloads are fast.

I also quite like IRC.

Are you still on 28.8K? :)

IRC > eDonkey > WinMX (disreguarding the ridiculous queues) > Google > Kazaa > Morpheus > dead services

Check again. :)

There are 6 buildings, each 20 floors tall, each appartment is wired to a gigabit lan powered by cisco switches. Yes we did pay extra for that but it works. :D

Sympatico DSL.

The appartment itself doesn't have an internet connection, just a lan. For internet, you'd have to pay for it yourself.

There's a person that lives just down the hall with a full T1. I can always leech off him if I need too.

I'm using K++ and I'm satisfied. :D It's way better, maybe Sharman Network should buy over and develop this instead. :p

take K++, add in all the spyware, and let you download it 2mb bigger.
