i keep hearing "kazza this, kazza that." what is it and what is the url?

search it out on google its the same ting as Napster was and Scour only you can download movies and shit.

thanks for not informing me that its over 3 megs....i love you guys.

bitch bitch bitch is nothing ever good enough?

I LOVE Kazaa...it's MUCH better than that lame BearShare program...that was too fucking stupid for words!!!


I'm downloading 'Lord of the Rings' right now...

Be careful when downloading KaZza... or any other service like that. Unless you read the pages and pages of fine print before clicking "I agree" you'll never know that they are installing other things on your computer.

When I downloaded kazza I thought it was going to be cool, but the next day my computer started acting like it had to much going on at one time to handle itself... and it would just dissconect. In fact it wouldn't stay connected for more then a minute or two. So I started getting pissed and desperately tried to find out the reason why this was happening. So I clicked Ctrl,Alt,Delete to bring up the program box. I noticed that there was something running there that I never seen before. (The name is ezula) Anyway I was going to delete it, but I didn't want to screw anything up. I mean I really didn't know what the program was and I thought maybe I just never noticed it before. So I just searched the name of it on yahoo. There I found a ton of pages about it and what a pain in the ass it is. It seems that these companies like KaZza take money from other major companies (i.e. BMG) and in return KaZza installs this other crap on your computer that actually monitors your search habits and changes link desinations. So say that you always look up a certain type of music or movies. Well, this thing figures that out and eventually starts changing shit around. Let's say that you are looking at a page with a bunch of links to different "Horror Movie" sites. Well what this thing does is change a few of the links, so that they no longer go to where said link was originally supposed to go (i.e. some guy selling old films out of his house) and takes one of their customers pages and links it up. So now you go to their clients page instead. Sometimes they even go as far as to highlight the link so it stands out more.

Not only are you have your search information force fed to you now, its actually sitting in your computer where it can cause problems like it did me. Also, guess what? Its completely legal. Know why? because you clicked "I agree" upon downloading.

If you are affraid that you might have this go to: http://www.whirlywiryweb.com/q/ezula.asp There you will find that the site will actually check and tell you if ezula has infected your computer

I had the same problem with eZula...

I love Kazaa, don't get me wrong but the problems I had with eZula were extensive... It all started with the random disconnects, lockups, etc.... this was even worse than it would be normally because I was on a LAN and every time it locked up, it also dropped my network connection and locked up my entire system. The other problem was that, as a web designer, i use a lot of html, etc. editing software, which eZula f**ks with.

Then it started corrupting my drive beyond the point of normal recovery, ending only when I had to wipe my drive.

However, I really do like Kazaa so I reinstalled it, made sure that eZula was NOT selected in the "install the following", and havent had a problem since. The option is not called eZula. It's something about links. Kazaa works great as long as you only install the minimum software and check your installed programs after. (add/remove programs)

If the software is installed, you can remove it through add/remove programs (then delete the hell out of its directory "eZula" under program files after you uninstall it), but do it as soon as possible.


On another note.... your wanting to download music and are worried about a 3 meg file? uhmmmm........ ok

Try WinMX, but the same thing will probably happen to that in a little time (hopefully not), it shares basically any type of file you want and no spyware yet.

I almost lost interest in file sharers after AudioGalaxy went down the same dark path as Kazza, seems you have to keep looking for new ones in case the one you use goes the same way.

Morpheus is supposed to be okay, but I've never used it.

A good friend of mine uses Morpheus. (Darkspyder) He's never said anything about problems.

He wasn't worried about the size, he was worried about DL time. I bitch at him if he leaves the computer on when he goes to work hehe.

Nag nag nag..... . . . .

*laughs*

OK...I am trying to DL a song on this thing and it is not seeming to work. It says "remote" beside the song...what the hell does that mean?

"Remote" means "You Are Fucked"

Might as well forget it. After it says "remote" very very rarely will it ever download.
