FAT64 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Is discussion of Kazaa permitted, or does it fall foul of Forum Rule #1?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 The Software itself is legal. It's what people do with it that isn't.I think its 'safe' enough to talk about Kazaa ... As long as it does not involve piracy and/or warez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT64 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 Righty Ho, in that case ...Does anyone out there own a US Robotics router and use Kazaa? If so, what router settings do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouki Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I do not use nor own a US Robotics Router, however, may I ask you if you have Port Forwarding enabled to the correct IP? (The one using Kazaa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubar Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) You really should stay clear of kazaa, it is renound for being filled with spyware. Even the program itself will try its hardest to f*ck your computer up, especially if you try to uninstall it. You might want to check out Shareaza Edited March 23, 2006 by ScubaSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT64 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 I think I've entered the correct settings, it just refuses to connect. I did have Kazaa working some weeks ago but didn't save the settings. Bugger! I have opened the appropriate port and forwarded to my IP address. I just don't understand why it won't connect.

Gouki Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Did you forwared TCP and UDP ports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) I have a feeling its connection settings within Kazaa.... if all the ports are open, it should connect as you've said. I'd get rid of Kazaa ASAP though.I'd personally recommend FrostWire... limewire offshoot. Clean, simple... good results, no spyware.. Java intensive though. Uses ~400M virtual mem on my box. As others have stated... I'd stear clear of Kazaa. Edited March 23, 2006 by ringfinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimzky Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 is kazaa still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT64 Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 I've given up trying to get Kazaa working, I'm giving this Shareaza a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I've given up trying to get Kazaa working, I'm giving this Shareaza a whirl. Have you ever heard of Torrents? BitComet / uTorrent + http://torrentsearcher.filesharingplace.com/ISOHunt and TorrentSpy are the best ones. There's one called TorrentLeech but it has a limit of 1000 users and accounts last a few weeks if you don't keep them updated, and it's only available through invite.
