    Is someone trying to upload the file? I've had that happen.

    From my experience w/ Kazaa those .dat files are downloads that you started that never completed. Those .dat files can sometimes reconnect you to a file you where dling during a previous session. To get rid of them, open Kazaa and click the 'Traffic' tab. Once there look for any unresolved downloads or possible uploads and select 'cancel all downloads'...
