Are you talking about your work machine? As if so, talking from an IT dept perspective, they'll whup your arse if they find Kazaa software on your machine. Leaves it way open to all kinds of nasty viruses.

very true, but i'm a creative... all our PC's are filled with shit and crap we're not meant to have.

I'm trying to use it for work anyway, just cant seem to get the bugger to work...

ah well...

Yeah - I hope your at home on this one.

Also if you're gonna use kazaa make sure you're on Kazaa K++ as it offers significant protection against arseholes and gives much much better DL speeds.

I would recomend bit-torrent though if you are trying to DL anything big and want it fast with no hassles.

As for connecting... it really ought to have connected automatically assuming your connected to the net.... where did you get the progam from ?

even so, Kazaa is generally still a big no-no on work networks. Most companies ban most kinds of filesharing software from working on their networks as it can provide an open back door security wise for those nasty little hackers out there.

The employer also picks up the buck legally as 99% of the time you're breaking copyright. Home use thats your choice () but in work its your bosses as its his neck on the block.

Its very possible that your network security is stopping kazaa from connecting and opening itself up to attack.

Look into bit torrent - you may have more luck.

is it called limewire

if you got limewire it's not kazaa - limewire's the client for mac's and it sucks for music. just great if you want warez & cracks for macs. otherwise it's useless. get kazaa k++ or soulseek or bit torrent

I'd go with bit torrent Kazaa has so many viruses and trojans in it (80% on a news article i read)

so download at your own risk.

if my calculations are correct SLINKY + ESCULATOR = EVERLASTING FUN

limewire is for windows also... definitely not as populated as kazaa.

Please if your going to use any type of file transfer program and it is kazaa use Kazaa Lite K++ It is the smaller and better version. It deosn't have the spyware and also has some interesting ip blocking software just incase teh riaa wants to watch what your doing. Limewire sucks, if your going to use a p2p file sharing program use kazaa lite.

I'll getcha link in a second.

Peace

I am not saying it will happen to everybody, but I had downloaded a large amount of music from Kazaa, and something went wrong with my computer. I took it to the technician I bought it from, and he said Kazaa actually will stiock a virus into some downloading. I had to have my computer reset and totally cleaned out.Lost all my music before I could get it on CDs

Hope thats not yourproblem, but I am leary of Kazaa after that.
