    I downloaded this and connect but no files ever download. When I search for files, tons come up but they never download. Any ideas?

    What should I use if not Kazaa? At least this version doesn't contain spyware.

    If you are behind a firewall, you may have to open a port for traffic. Check with the firewall supplier for instructions on how to do so. Beware of the Fasttrack network. It's full of spyware, viruses, and generally bad files. Think EDonkey 2000 or Bittorrent.

    Even if it says no spyware i dont trust it. Second reason is that p2p( pere to peer) sharing is an easy way to download a virus from a different user.

    Which is even more reason to install AntiVirus and Firewalls etc.

    Sharing files from another computer also makes you susceptible to whatever they have, however, that doesn't mean you shouldn't use P2P, just have basic security.

    The Internet is a threat also, but no one suggests not using it.


    There is nothing wrong with Kazaa Resurrection itself, it contains no adware or spyware, although I prefer Shareaza or Bittorrent.

    Just to clarify, those networks are loaded with viruses and spyware. While the client may be clean, your downloads are more then likely not. Anything relating to Kazzaa has been trash for a long time now. I would try E-Mule or something instead.

    The Kazaa network does contain a lot of rubbish, including Spyware and Viruses.

    I only really use it when I have to, and then with caution. If you aren't experienced, it's certainly not one to go for.

    E-mule, if it's like E-donkey is great, and has more files than any other network, however it works on a "reward" system, meaning you have to be online for a long time to be able to download anything.

    That rules out anyone who is on dial-up or a restricted/intermittent broadband account.

    Try Bittorent, or Shareazza, which is a combination of the networks.
