for those who still like using Kazaa Media Desktop and absolutely detest the spyware and adwares, you must get the freeware Diet K right now. it is designed specifically for kazaa so it removes all its spyware, adware even the p2p networking (which takes up a huge amount of resource on your cpu) while maintains the functionality of kazaa. other ad removal system like adaware destroys the functionality of kazaa when they uninstall its spy and adware. i just installed Diet K. all my headaches are gone and the searching sped up about 500%. i’m very happy.
If you want a filesharer that delivers a lot of obscurities, try SoulSeek.
Winmx is something I hardly ever use anymore…it takes forever to download a song and if it gets disrupted, it doesn’t seem to recover as well as some of the other programs do.
After updating my XP with service pack 2, I can’t get Diet K to work. What is up with that???
I deleted Kazaa a loooong time ago, it wasn’t so much the spy ware (I have a really good firewall), but I couldn’t stand the slowness of it. I could just go out and buy what I wanted quicker than it would download, and it’s not as if I am too impatient to wait for a movie that isn’t out yet.
there are many hacks that increase the speed 🙂 diet k actually helps too. i can get up to 150k/sec at school.
I will definitely try it…..too bad I can’t use it for my MAC laptop. Wish Kazza can be MAC compatiable as well.
I actually use a program called WinMx… it’s pretty quick. However, I’m on cable internet, so I dont know about dialup 🙂
Just out of curiousity, have you tried it Dodo? I was wondering if cleaned-up Kazaa was any faster…
‘were’ any faster, not ‘was’ any faster… sorry for the double post, but I’m an English major… I had to correct my horrendous grammatical error lol
no, i haven’t tried winMX
thanks to ypur b2plug hack.. =)
i use winmx too, it’s pretty quick, but i’m on cable also.
Ever tried overnet? Kazaa just has this creepy ‘I’m being watched’ feeling
yup didn’t like it.
I actually don’t think winMX is good, I could never find anything that I liked or wanted.
What’s the difference between Kazaa Lite and Diet Kazaa?
kazaa lite is written by a different company than kazaa. weren’t thera law suit or whatever? diet is just a software addon for kazaa.
In singapore, kazaa is illegal…I’m so sad…u get fined if u were caught using it. my mom made me delete mine…wahhh
Kazaa Lite works damn well for me… Kazaa worked fine for my old computer, only slowing it down and bunging it up a bit. WinMX is what broke it. Oh, and it has a terrible interface and hardly any decent programs. Also, works slower than K-Lite on a BT Broadband modem here in the UK. It’s quite surprising how many people still use it though, even after Napster shutting down and all the fuss over iTunes and the original Kazaa. Just glad it works for me.
