How to download in Kazaa
 
er.. this may sound stupid as a question but how do i download files off kazaa after i connect and do a search?

after the search is done i click the DOWNLOAD button beside the file i want... but no download starts... no popup with the downloading screen.. no nothing...

is there something wrong with my kazaa or am i doing something wrong/stupid and there's something else to do?

PWEESE HELP!!

loony January 30th, 2005 3:16 AM

you shouldn't be talking over it here your must look by traffic because you dont get a pop up for downloading with kazaa>_>

LanceLite January 30th, 2005 3:47 AM

*loonytik facefalls*

loony January 30th, 2005 4:07 AM

yust click on downlaod if searched something and downloaded it click on downlaod button and than click on the traffic button somewhere above in the screen and than you can see your download:/

Geometric-sama January 30th, 2005 4:34 AM

Click on the search button and search for the file you want. When it comes up in the long list, double-click on the files you want to download.

LanceLite January 30th, 2005 7:20 AM

LanceLite January 31st, 2005 12:00 AM

NO NOT YET!! i got another problem.. its with connecting to teh server...

after i opened Kazaa i set it to Connect... and its been "connecting" for the past half an hour... is it a problem of my software or my ISP?

Step 1: Destroy all of the evil Kazaa's files from your computer.
Step 2: Get about 5 antivirus programs.
Step 3: Search for and download Kazaa Lite (if it's still around, if not, try another p2p program entirely).
Step 4: Do what these guys said do with the regular Kazaa.
Step 5: When your download finishes (if your download finishes), scan the file with all the antivirus programs and pray it isn't a virus.

Morale of the post: Kazaa doesn't guarentee a real download, a reliable download, or a download at all. It's much better to Google whatever you're looking for then to use a very unreliable p2p program like Kazaa.

loony January 31st, 2005 6:59 AM

yea kaza is bad i should told ya that ... try other ones>_>limewire is good...

LanceLite February 1st, 2005 1:07 AM

O.O;;; VIRUS??

o.o kazaa lite?? what the heck is that? and unreliable??

;_; i wish someone had told me that before i wasted my time downloading the stupid thing....

Brittany February 1st, 2005 1:46 AM

Kazaa has Adware in it, that may be what they are refering to. The other thing is downloading files. Because someone that lives on the other side of the earth may be sending the file to you, there's no guarrentee that it's virus free, so you should always scan your files before you open them.

LanceLite February 1st, 2005 1:56 AM

o.o my last anti virus died some time ago...

*pokes ad for BullGuard AntiVirus software in kazaa* Kazaa's antivirus.. reliable?

loony February 1st, 2005 4:52 AM

you have kazaa media desktop i think o.o dont download taht bulguard use ad-awere or spybot:)

LanceLite February 1st, 2005 5:43 AM

o.o;;; never heard of those antiviruses....

the best that worked for me was Norton Antivirus with some constant auto upgrades..... i'll need to get another one....

loony February 1st, 2005 6:06 AM

well you can gett a demo of norton o.o and look on www.download.com for spybot and ad-aware

LanceLite February 1st, 2005 6:27 AM

k, i'll go check it out.. but my ISP is always like dead at dls so i mite not be able to download big stuff...

loony February 1st, 2005 11:18 AM

its not so big spybot is 6mb and ad-aware 9mb o.o

LanceLite February 2nd, 2005 2:08 AM

O.O;;; my isp is so evil that it'll take about some 3hrs for me to dl that 9mb.... im better off getting a cd of a good antivirus.....

any suggestions??

btw, i like... tried dl-ing teh songs.... then like i found the Traffic button.. but there it says More Source Needed....

Geometric-sama February 2nd, 2005 4:33 AM

Psst, I can give you Kazaa Lite, which doesn't have spyware (it's not the viruses in KMD, it's spyware >>) Go to www.grisoft.com for a free and good antivirus.

loony February 2nd, 2005 6:23 AM

kazaa kinda sucks >_> if ya tried limewire its faster and easier:)

LanceLite February 8th, 2005 8:35 AM

o.o;; i was like dling and then it died for some reason on my manager.. oh wel.. i'll try later...

my friend says that edonkey is better... so is it?

Anarchytekt February 8th, 2005 8:53 AM

There are tons of P2P networks out there and most people will reccomend the program they use, so it is upto you. You gotta decide which one you want to use. I use limewire as it has a lot of sources. But there is one called shareaza, it connects to Gnutella and G2, edonkey and one more I think. It is ad-free and free. http://www.shareaza.com
Some programs will have more sources than others so, try them out.;)

LanceLite February 8th, 2005 9:18 AM

^_^ wow cool..... i'll go get edonkey too... but can someone teach me how to use them?

Anarchytekt February 8th, 2005 11:55 PM

In most of them you just have to type in what you want in a search box. Say you want to download a song, search for the song name and there's a high chance of you getting a result. Just select the result and click Download and voila!
If that didn't help. there should be a readme file with most of them. Read that or go to the help page of the program you are using.

LanceLite February 9th, 2005 2:31 AM

the same for all? its good cos i dont want to bother with all weird buttons that much so...

well i guess this problems are okay now.... thanx for helping Pingu, Loonytik and Falcon!!
