I always used WinMX, A friend was staying here for awhile and DLed Kazza. I was wondering, I am using kazza media desktop 2, is that diffrent then this "kazza lite" you guys are talking about?

**Asher** · January 8, 2003, 04:05

I use Kazaa Lite (which is a de-spywared version of Kazaa Media Desktop) for music.
I use Overnet for...er...larger files.

BitTorrent (too lazy to put up a link) is good for large files that don't stay around long (such as new TV episodes). Basically how it works is there's one link that you click, and it downloads the file from other people currently downloading it. Basically, the more people that are downloading it, the faster it goes. The problem is that once people stop downloading something, speed drops and the file eventually disappears. It's all decentralized, and you can find BitTorrent link sites.

IMHO, File-sharing will be popular until ISPs start introducing metered bandwith. That'll be the end of P2P on a mass scale and the end of the party. The experience will be like ixnay's, with small, specialized groups trading in specific files.

You don't have to be ashamed for downloading gay porn, Asher.

**Asher** · January 8, 2003, 04:22

Kazaa is better for that.

I'm referring to ISOs, nimrod.

And why would a man with a harem as large as mine need porn.

**alva** · January 8, 2003, 04:39

again, use the kazaa lite ++ version
(your status will remain on 'supreme being', faster DL's...

mine and many other people's isp allready has

**Dis** · January 8, 2003, 04:41

exactly what is metered bandwith?

**alva** · January 8, 2003, 04:43

max down&upload on a montly basis,

mines 10G (nights only count 50%)

**Dis** · January 8, 2003, 04:44

10 gigs?

I wonder what I average. let me check something

the old zone alarm used to keep track of how much you send and recieve. but I have no idea how much I send and recieve now.

If widespread bandwidth caps ever become popular we will see a massive exodus back to dial-up. After all, what's the point of giving you a fat pipe if you can't use it?

**alva** · January 8, 2003, 04:58

Well i can use 20gig if do it at night, you go and try to DL 20 GIG with a 56k modem... (not even counting what this would cost (zonal calls arn't free in europe))

If I need an extra gig, this costs me 1$/€

Good luck,

(and quota's are bound to go up...)

Is there some trick to using overnet? I have been trying it for a few days nows, and no matter what I DL I can't seem to get over 3k.

**Skanky Burns** · January 8, 2003, 06:45

Australia isp's use bandwidth caps almost exclusively, yet more people are signing up for broadband each year. No-one will be going back to 56k for the sole purpose of being able to "download more".

I use diet kazaa, which removes the popups that kazaa lite leaves in.
