Hi all,

I have a question on kazaa lite. I am interested in the way kazaa works,
and hopefully someone knows what info I'm looking for. Here's what I
understand, please correct any incorrect points:


1> The RIAA cannot stop the Fasttrack network because of the encryption
between supernodes.

2> Kazaa lite is considered "rogue" software by the folks
maintaining Kazaa.

3> Morpheous was effectively put to pasture after not paying Fasttrack,
by Kazaa upgrading their clients from 1.3 to 1.5. The code in the 1.3
client instructed a supernode to disconnect if a newer client was detected
on the remote end.

I've heard of attempts at cracking Fasttrack protocol, namely
gIFT, but they failed.

Now assuming the above points are correct, how did Kazaa Lite get their
hands on the fast track protocol? Were they able to crack the encyption?
And why would Kazaa not deal with Kazaa Lite like they did with Morpheous
by updating the client? Perhaps they don't percieve Kazaa Lite as a viable
threat?

Here are some sites to check out:
kazaalite.tech-critic.com/help/faq.htm
home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/klitefaq.htm
www.mp3-world.net/d/workshop/filesharing/ kazaalite/faq.shtml
http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=138

Maybe search for a Kazaa forum?

Just suggestions until someone else can be of further help.

Have you asked this at an mp3.d group also?

And you need to learn to quit posting HTML to Usenet. And you also need to
learn what Usenet is about before posting to it.

Stupid Canadian.

Try address http://www.google.com/ and you'll find search engine there.
For example "frequently asked questions about kazaa" is a nice phrase
that gives you >12.000 hits, in the first page of search results you'll
find many excellent FAQ's that provide you information. After studying
yourself if you still have questions come back again to ask them. :)

Btw, you might also like to check out different software packages just
like Kazaa/Kazaa Lite. For example eDonkey and DC++ are quite nice...

You might want to try posting your questions to alt.music.mp3.kazaa.
Several members there are pretty familiar with the technical aspects.
 
Also alt.internet.p2p is a very active group about all kinds of p2p program
and includes a lot about Kazza Lite and RIAA cheats and etc. You will be
scolded for being the 'slightest' off topic in this group...not so in some
other groups.

Spoken like a true, egotistical American. Too bad folks like you spoil such
a nice country and make people think all Americans are idots!

Donut,
Me thinks you were left too long in the grease last night and you woke up in
a nasty mood making life for all the rest of us on the donut shelf a little
miserable.
I posted five or six lines of code (jeez, that much?) to show that poster
that his web page was showing blank. I know enough not to post lines and
lines of code.
I take exception with your remark about my nationality and suggest we meet
at the closest border where we can throw usenet questions at each other and
see who knows the most,
All the best,
POKO

uh, maybe because kazaa lite's p2p software is identical to kazaa's
with the only difference being that kazaa lite removes the
spyware/adware/crapware and 3rd-party bundled dungware?...

a site worth hearing.

Funny that an argument erupted over someone mocking the HTML, or lack
thereof from a site that I hadnt registered yet.

Btw Pat, nice site... I hope my frontpage sk1llz will one day be compared
to you. Perhaps then I, like you, can get accepted into the HTML writers
guild.

Halo - no arguement really. My meet me at the border thingie was a joke and
the no response tells me the poster felt he had jumped too soon, so no harm
done.
Thank you for your kind words. Check out a site I've spent a lot of time
keeping up:
http://www.cowac.org it is about students taking on the United Nations.
Best,
POKO
