    "Just heard word that Kazaa Lite is now finally shut down. Speaking with RatFaced, one of the Kazaa Lite forum moderators today and our contact at K-Lite, I have uncovered news that the Kazaa Lite K++ project has been shut down by Sharman Networks on grounds of copyright infringement."

    Sharman networks really needs to take Kazaa lite and incorporate it back with Kazaa. Kazaa lite is actually a superior program to the normal Kazaa. I hate the last version of Kazaa I used cause I couldn't change the my shared folder.

    well if you have a old version of kazaa lite or kazaa just search for kazaa lite
    i would have a good antivirus and a good firewall before i downloaded any software from a p2p service
    i did the search already on a old version of kazaa lite and got 100 files listed

    i dont know about the legalities of downloading software that has been pulled by the maker
    so im an not advising anyone to do this
    this is just a theretical anser to a question

    There are other clients available but not for sure if MA approves of us giving this kind of "help" since most of the time it is for piracy....

    You are correct sir. Kazaa is full of Spyware. You should really think twice about using this crap. It loads all kinds of junk without your approval on to your PC. Kazza Lite
    was supposedly not as bad, but I would not trust them based upon what I saw in the full version.

    Kazaa Lite (at least the older versions) are spyware free... try finding a friend with K-Lite and ask him to email you or directly send you the install file...

    I just downloaded it from old version, it does work. I already had it though...kept the install file to, which is a good thing.

    I'm pretty sure that Kazaa lite won't work, regardless of whether or not you still have it on your computer. Sharman also changed the network so that Kazaa Lite can't access it. Meaning that you can run KLite on your computer for as long as you want and you won't be able to connect to anything to download.

    That being said...

    iTunes

    The new Napster

    WalMart Music Downloads

    GameFly - Now you can try games out from the comfort of your own home without having to buy them.

    Kazaa Lite works just fine. At least from were I'm sitting. Currently there are 2.8 million users online sharing nearly 470 million files.

    Heres my stance as odd as it sounds. Yes, P2P programs are used for stuff they should not be, but they have legitimate purposes. I dont have a problem with links to these programs, just dont be stupid enough to ask for them to download something specific :)

    Stores sell knives, dont men you gotta stab someone.

    click lowspeed download
    then click the link that says
    Weiter zum Download von Kazaa Lite
    then choose a mirror

    MA, if you think this link will causee any issues with Sharman then feel free to edit it all up.

    K-lite still works, it piggybacks of a bigger file sharing networks, there are other apps that use the same network.

    You guys are forgeting that Kazaa lite was technically illegal to begin with. It was made by people outside of Sharman Networks and was based on the Kazaa code. That goes blatantly against the EULA. Sharman Networks now offers a spyware free version of Kazaa (for a price of course). Kazaa lite is a better program though.

    Kazaa lite still works just fine, but you have to search very hard to find a place to download it. So if you want to keep it then burn it to a disk, it's going by bye. Sharman has started legal action.

    thats strange i just used it are you sure thatz fact

    Yes, kazaa lite IS NO LONGER BEING DEVELOPED, and Sharman networks is doing there best to make it impossible to download by suing servers that have it.
    BUT, kazaa taps into a P2P network, not started by kazaa. Morpheus, for example, uses that same network, but it isnt kazaa.
    So, if you have or can get kazaa lite, it will work.

    also, dont you find it odd that kazaa, which allows copyright infringement (and is why its so popular), sues someone else for copyright infringement? The street goes both ways, Sharman, so, get with it or expect to be sued, and pay up if you have the gall to sue kazaa lite.

    kazaa lite k++

    Yes, Kazaa lite still does work, it does not have one piece of spyware, it has an ip blocker to block the riaa if u dl alot-o-music, and it is a little faster and less bulky. you can goto www.oldversion.com and click kazaa lite k++ and get the "lastest" (which is really the last, since it was discontiued) version from them; considering that it was halted in its distribution because of sharman networks throwing a hissy fit,saying, "this software is almost the same as our origional kazaa (i.e it looks the same and works the same and still used the point2point protocol as ours,.....blah blah blah"........I use K-lite-k++ myself...its version 2.4.3

    Shareaza anyone ?

    Anybody know anything about Shareaza? It connects to the Gnutella, edonkey and the other P2P network that Kazaa uses. I have been using it without problems. Its faster and offers more results.

    hi geek,
    nobody said it did not work, but the files you download from kazza may not always be legit, remember there are thousands of teenweenie teenagers downloading tens of files everynight in there bedroom using there spam ridden virus infested easy hackleble open to every nasty on the net excluding aol most dont use a firewall or turn it off (xpsp2)and you want to file share with there shared folder do bears pooh in the woods try bit torrents its free as well a little bit more difficult to set up but worth it but if you want to use kazza thats your choice !?
    a virus or trojan or worm only survives through uprotected systems mainly home users dont play your part in helping them.

    I totally agree with you ma. P2P programs were originally developed to share files. No one ever said it was made for downloading illegal files, but that is what today's world thinks of it as. just like a lot of people think hacker means bad person. hacker just means someone who looks at files that aren't supposed to be looked at. but over time these p2p networks were abused and so people got the idea to share illegal files over them. just because it says p2p on it, doesn't make it a illegal. its just a common stereo type.

    hey i use kazaa lite k+++ you got to think radio befor today they were being sued for playing songs but they got past that people now has to under stand that p2p programs is the new radio because they think if they sue people thin they think people will stop downloading them and go buy a cd with only 1 song they like for $20 when they should start a p2p network and have people pay a small fee of like $10 or a little more each month to download any songs they want. if they dont start doing that kazaa , e-donkey , e-mule or any other p2p will get to big to stop like gamspy you make you pay alittle each month or year to download games and you thin dont have to worry about being sued or put in jailam i the only one that thinks this way about it
