The ports that it requires may be closed by your ISP.

Like the other guys said its probably the ports you were used to have been

turned off by your ISP...then again you might want to check your machine if

you've been running without any kind of Firewall at ALL and see if the issue

might be a virus or piece of spyware. Have you purchased\used any SONY

cds in your computer lately?

And last but not least try checking in your options or preferences to see if

there is an option to 'randomize' the port you're using in kazaa. Or maybe try

using an alternative like Shareazza or Gnucleus instead of spyware ridden trash

like kazaa...I haven't used the program since they shutdown k-lite which was

IMHO the only good version of the program.

Good luck and happy file shares!

Isn't Kazaa dead? I would expect nothing but fake files and virus-infested archives from that p2p. Torrents are taking over. Oh and friends' FTPs.

[slimzky]

Kazaa is Dead. Limewire is my new Friend..

[phkninja]

limewire is alos supposed to die. As the amaericans get more into "xatching the software pirates" more and more p2p programs are shutting down their servers in an attempt to miss the court cases.

[Ideas Man]

I'd say you're treading a very fine line continuing to use it, it's crap anyway. Most of the files are fakes anyway, so it really has no major uses anymore.

[Technoguy]

i think ur ISP has blocked kazaa's ports.Kaaalite is still workin but due 2 MPAA and RIAA most p2p's have gone down.

Offtopic:Happy New Year to all of U.

use a different client

emule is good but can be slow

ares is good and fast but files are limited sometimes

[Mocht4R]

Try reinstalling kazaa first, and if you love kazaa and won't change to another file sharing software, try kazaa lite. If this doesn't work (reinstalling) then go with limewire, ares, napster, or forget all these and go with torrents.

[Jeremy]

Torrents now dominate something like 50% of p2p today. All the other "connect to the network/server" type things are dead or dying. BitComet / uTorrent / Azureus are the top 3 preferred BitTorrent clients from what I've read/heard.

[Mocht4R]

I prefer bit tornado. Its much more easier to use.

[Jeremy]

I tried that before, didn't like it so much. I don't know how much easier than BitComet/uTorrent it can get, really...

[tha_demon2004]

µtorrent got it's popularity due to being so small and fact it doesn't need to be installed. It maxed out my upload which is good but doesn't download as quick as bittornado. With bittornado i found that if i let it go on auto it would eventually stop uploading and download the files at my max download
