PETE_COMBS Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I use Kazaa,but everytime I have it running it makes my computer run slow as hell. I like the program ,but if I had it running I could'nt even post or look up anything on the web. If you would please suggest anything better than Kazaa..........thanks Pete Combs...

Timothy Lyons Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Is it the internet, or are you sure it's your computer that's running slow? If it's the internet, changing programs won't help...maybe if you wouldn't steal music your computer would speed up! \m/ Timothy Lyons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETE_COMBS Posted June 3, 2003 Author Share Posted June 3, 2003 Kazaa is free, so it's not stealing and its not the internet,dsl not slow...thanks for your,well nothing. Pete Combs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeennyzim Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 first of all, this should be an off-topic post second of all, let's not debate the semantics of stealing third of all, anything you use to download....well....anything is going to make your internet slower, especially if a lot of people are also downloading from you or you are downloading a lot of data. there's a certain exchange that has to be made. if it bugs you that much, just leave it on when you go to sleep and turn it off when you need to use the internet for other purposes. As I was going up the stairs I met a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish, I wish he'd go away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Lyons Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Well, in that case, I don't think any other program will help...Kazaa is pretty light on the resources...maybe you could try Kazaa Lite at www.kazaalite.com I think. If not, do what Bill Gates wants: use windows. Open one, toss the computer out, then close it. \m/ Timothy Lyons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Orr Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 I believe Kazaa uses the Gnutella protocol. Try one of those. groove, v. Inflected Form(s): grooved; groov·ing transitive senses:1a.to make a groove in;1b.to join by a groove;2.to perfect by repeated practice;3.to throw (a pitch) in the groove intransitive senses:1.to become joined or fitted by a groove;2.to form a groove;3.to enjoy oneself intensely;4.to interact harmoniously - groov·er noun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Gollihur Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Kazaa adds a boatload of extra programs that drag your PC down, reporting on your activities and running ads. If you want a shock, run Ad-Aware - a free version is available at http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/ to see and remove its many tentacles. However, until you remove the Kazaa program itself, you will find that these scabs reinstall themselves, and some persist beyond that. 1000 Upright Bass Links, Luthier Directory, Teacher Directory - http://www.gollihurmusic.com/links.cfm [highlight] - Life is too short for bad tone - [/highlight] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the default is 4, change it to 1. Should help a bit. Ah, nice marmot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
