I’ve been using KaZaA Lite since AG’s death. It is better than AG in almost every respect. The traffic window also reminds me a lot of Napster.

Thank you - that was of course precisely what I meant.

My son found an article about the BDE spyware which Kazaa installs. The article says that BDE is trying to sell the computing power of the PCs on which it’s installed on a SETI-like basis.

When he gets home, I’ll get him to post the link - it might make people think twice about installing the programme. You should also be aware that the laws of my state apply to Kazaa, so you might want topay special attention to the EULA.

Use the KazaaLite version which you can find by entering the term into Google. If you use ad-aware, it will kill any BDE that remain on your computer.

I have been using LimeWire and quite enjoy it.
