Nathan,

I think I was confused about the login restrictions because this is the first time I ran into them. I just followed up on your post from a month ago 'for your vieving pleasure' and was prompted with a login box I have not seen before. As there is a login box prominently displayed on the main page I supposed that this is the login required. It might be useful to have an intermediate page indicating that the multimedia area needs special access permissions. Just one idea: If you name the files with unique names like and you draw a list of the filenames and a preferred p2p tool (shareaza, kazaa) then it would be practical to get them with p2p and your bandwith could be preserved.

hi markus, i _like_ it! a lot.....think ill work on that now!

Just a warning to anyone using Kazaa. The program is loaded with spyware. I recommend getting Kazaa Lite from

Chris

I knew kazaa was nasty. I had no idea there was a lite version. KH

Does Kazaa perform the same functions as WinMX, Gnutella, Limewire etc, or is this for a different protocol.

Gregg

an additional problem with using kazaa is that the riaa is now issuing subpoenas for kazaa users who are trading files. read the details here

imesh is not on their list. not yet, anyway.

they all perform the same function, but work differently. some rely upon a central server, some dont. they could shut down the gnutella network and all the p2p apps using that network would die. others that are independent of an independent network seem to function better anyway.

I really like Shareaza

In article , newflyers2002

The basic function is the same for all of them. But the protocol differs. Kazaa has a large market share, but a protocol on its own. Many other programs (shareaza, limewire, bearshare, morpheus) are using the Gnutella protocol and can work together.

I think the RIAA has choosen to target Kazaa Users as is the most used program and it would be harder to go after many at the same time. If they are succesful they will probably target other protocols also. However, sharing non-copyrighted files are no problem and I don't think the RIAA cares for them.

Kevin, I see that website is down that I posted earlier. I have the K Lite program if you want it. The other download sites seem real slow at the moment. I dont know if that site is temporarily down or if they took it down for good, but it's always been there in the past. Here is another link to get it. Let me know if this works for you:

Ive had winmx for a while. I no longer come up with any decent hits when doing searches. I do have a seperate port opened up just for winmx that is different from the default and still few hits. KH

sad thing is, it wouldnt surprise me one bit.
