i haven't ever been asked to upload stuff to other since i started using it nearly 6 months ago, i use kazaa lite which is basically kazaa with all the 'spyware' removed it runs well and can be really quick. However its getting harder to find as i don't think its strictly legal as the people who modified kazaa to get rid of all the anoying ads etc didn't have the right to change it!! but you can still find it try this address

Definitely you set it up wrong.. not allowing sharing from your machine or with an empty shared folder.. (or not interesting stuff).. and that's not really the concept behing p2p..
I'm not a big sharer myself, last time I connected I had like 1200 files (probably around 30 GB) , but every time I'm in, I'm also uploading at full boost after some 15 seconds...

Go with Kazaa Lite. Make sure your virus defenitions are up to date. I downloaded a virus and it was a pain to remove. That was mostly my fault because at the time my virus defenitions were really outdated.

TT: I have allowed sharing and have a fair bit of interesting vids/movies and music in my shared folder (totals around 8GB) reckon it might be my firewall or somethin its strange because my mates in the same halls of residence say the same thing might be something to do with the LAN network we are all on. I agree with you the whole idea is to share and people should but sensibly so its not obvious to the authorities that you are sharing huge amounts of files.

RIAA: Im pretty sure they only are catching uploaders.
|
I got a nasty e-mail from my ISP. The RIAA contacted them as they found out I was sharing various apps through Kazaa. I got a slap on the wrists and told that if I got caught again they would cancel my account.
I haven't used Kazaa since.

you don't want to mess with Kazaa...not only does it have the most pirating related indictments, but also it doesn't really have a firewall so you are susceptible to all sorts of virus', trojans, and other computer infestations.

I take vids from there as samples, vids I like I buy on DVD, if not, I erase them after seeing. DVD is much better and you can watch in on normal TV. Same with mp3's.
Downloading them for seling them to other people -> yes, this should be punished cause ppl who made that movie and mp3s did they'r job, and just like you in your job - wanna get payed.

I've been using Kazaa alot recently and I've noticed, for some damn reason my internet is ALOT slower then before. (with kazaa off and closed of course)
Yes I do know once you close it its still running in the background, let me assure you that it is closed completely.
It for some reason increased my latency. I measured it at 1150ms with www.pcpitstop.com
Weird ay?
