Title: kazaa!! somebody help!
Post by: Laura on April 04, 2004, 12:35:24 pm
I sware kazaa is great in my opinion with the downloading & everything it's all been working great cuz I just got it but.. I am SO pissed because I keep getting these weird emails that I DO NOT wan't & I got an email from internet security or something saying it had to do with kazaa, so I downloaded what I needed to to get rid of them, but apparently they haven't gotten rid of them! I'm soo pissed.

Does anybody have any idea why I keep getting these weird emails??? Or know of a better & free downloading site I should download instead!? I don't know how these people are getting my email, it's so messed up!

you got kazaa, in my opinion the program itself is a virus......Do yourself a favor, download kazaa lite from kazaa or somewhere on the net, its hard to find but with google if you look hard enough you can find it.  then uninstall that kazaa crap

Kazaa Lite is free, always has been. When it went underground, a bunch of phony sites starting offering it for money, but when you gave them your credit card number, you got a bogus file and they ran off with your credit information.

LOL, no Pete,they tested it out on the Screensavers on TechTV. It's a scam.

And you guys, use the K++ edition. It blocks the RIAA. And also keep your IP Blocker up to date.

I find myself using BitTorrent more than K-Lite these days.

Not for me, I'm getting Kill Bill at 498 kb/s

Post by: TSE on April 04, 2004, 03:43:06 pm
What's the secret, then?  I'm topping out at 25Kb/s.  My cable is crying for the fact that its speed it being wasted.
Title: kazaa!! somebody help!
Post by: keith on April 04, 2004, 04:01:26 pm
Just depends on who you're getting it from. And that's a typo, it's really 86 kb/s  :razz:  :lol:  .

498, 86 . . .it's close. . .

It's just sad that 97% means another 1/2 hour . . .
Title: kazaa!! somebody help!
Post by: keith on April 04, 2004, 04:23:47 pm
Well, it varies, at first it was 98 kb/s (Hence the 498 kb/s), then 106 kb/s, then for some reason it dropped down to 25 kb/s just now, which means I'm uploading more than downloading, the upload is 74 kb/s.

Shit, I wish I did have something that went 498 kb/s. What's that, T3?
Title: kazaa!! somebody help!
Post by: TSE on April 04, 2004, 04:32:03 pm
I'd assume so.  I'm almost always uploading more than I'm downloading :?

I know what you mean. Kill Bill is 86% done, but I hope it's real..one thing about Kazaa Lite is that they'll let you preview it.

By the way, what are you trying to download?

512K DSL or half a T1 will five you up to 512.  The dsl is about 80 a month and half a T1 is about 500 a month but you get 25 IP addresses which are useless unless you are running email servers or webpages

I think you are confusing bits and bytes. Network capacity is always measured in bits whereas download speeds and hard drives always measure things in bits, with 1024 bytes being 1 kilobyte in local storage and 1000 bytes being 1 kilobyte in network calculations So, assuming 512 downstream, that would be (512kbit/sec)/8=64 kbytes/sec., which is 64000/1024=62.5 kbit/second by local storage standards.

BTW, a half T-1 (2 d channels, 12 B channels) is (64kbit/sec)*12=768 kbit/sec or 96 kbyte/sec network/93.75 kbyte/sec local. A full T-1 is comprised of two delta channels and twenty four bearer channels, which is 24*64=1,536 kbit/sec network, or 1.535 mbit/sec network, 1.5mbit/sec local.

My home connection is capped at 3mbit/sec network downstream, which is 366.210938 kbyte/sec local.

kazaa measures in k-BITS, so i think you are confused


and what is your home connection?

Well, 512 dsl is measured in network kilobits/sec. I know Kazaa measures in local kilobytes. That was my whole point.

My home connection is Comcast cable.

i thought all downloads were measured in kilobits....i dunno i guess im not big enough into the downloading thing.  we have a t1 at work, doesnt really seem any faster than cable, both those beat this dsl im on now

we have adelphia for cable around here, it runs nice, but its down about 3 days a month :?

Right now, my specialty is network ops. I'm designing networks up to layer three in school and I'm tweaking with DNS and such on my own time. Bandwidth calculations were first semester at school.
