Re: Kazar for Mac anyone ? WHEN WHEN WHEN ???
Kazaa is a haven for viruses, poorly encoded MP3's, and spyware. My roommate has that garbage, and who does he ask for help from when his laptop goes tits up? Yours truly.
His most recent battle was with some Xupiter thing that would not leave his computer. He had to write the company for an uninstaller, and that took three days of legal threats and voodoo chanting in order to exorcise the xupiter demon.
We're all better off without Kazaa. Its karma. You steal a program or movie here and there, and send things off to people you don't know, and soon enough, you'll be randomly selected for a worm or some hacker to come in and nab your kernel.
I'm no Lars/Dre whiner, but you can't complain about freebies, you know? Limewire is ok, and its free for the most part. Does anybody use Ircle? That's a good way to get stuff.

Neo is the way to go. Has a little bit of a learning curve (you have to scan for IPs that work, and then update them every now and then to make sure they still work) but once you get past that little hump, it's golden.

Re: Kazar for Mac anyone ? WHEN WHEN WHEN ???
Kazza works great on all my PC mates computers all this BS about hacking and bad files is so not true , Kazza is the best for P2P and better than any thing released for Mac at the moment ... Their are 1000's of servers to download from and
It is not overrated it ia great app !
Why do Mac users have to be so anti an app that is made for PC only and works great ? Not all apps on PC crash evey minute like the made up stories that get posted on these boards ! Not evey single PC user gets hacked !

Yeah, Kazaa and LimeWire are great!
Its naughty to download Kazaa Lite though ; the voices told me so.
Hey, look at http://securityresponse.symantec.com/av … nfodb.html for more super software!
Seriously, use Acquisition from xlife.org.

Re: Kazar for Mac anyone ? WHEN WHEN WHEN ???
Well. I love Kazaa, and have only had a few of the thousands of files that I have downloaded arrive corrupted.
Neo is okay, Aquisition is worse than LimeWire, LimeWire is crap. The one thing no file sharing application for the Mac offers is the ability to return as many results as Kazaa, and that is what really matters...

Re: Kazar for Mac anyone ? WHEN WHEN WHEN ???
I haven't had extensive experience with Kazaa. But from what I've seen, I'd like to have a version of it for the Mac. Especially because once it is out, someone would hack it and take out all the spyware, making it actually good. Just my opinion

Re: Kazar for Mac anyone ? WHEN WHEN WHEN ???
Why is everyone down on Limewire? I've used it a little and it seems okay. What makes the other so much better?
