Kazza and Morpheus going down?

papadoc · 24th May 2002, 03:01

Looks like Kazza is on the verge of going down.
And Morpheus may follow.
They've run out of money fighting lawsuits.

If they do go down, then we will see some more software soon. The New Morpheus edition uses Gnutella to search for files for example, and as far as I know, you cannot bring that down.

klumy · 24th May 2002, 14:25

Instead of Morpheus you should try Gnucleus

http://www.gnucleus.com/

its 99% the same thing

WinMX is the only way to share

klumy · 24th May 2002, 15:49

No Gnucleus is better than Morpheus, because Gnucleus is the Original. Morpheus is just a bad clone of Gnucleus with a lot of Bugs.

Huehuetenango · 24th May 2002, 21:13

if it goes, it goes
my isp just instituted a bandwidth cap, so if i go above 5 gigabytes downloading or uploading in a month, i have to pay exorbitant amounts of money
so no more movie downloading for me, and that's really the only reason i used it

fwgx · 24th May 2002, 21:32

That sucks Huehuetengo. I've just downloaded 9 CD .iso files for various Linux Distros just before I go home and have no cable

Elementaluk · 28th May 2002, 05:53

Oh god thank fu*k

i hate both of them.

the new Morpheus is so sh*te...u type in anything about 80% you'll get a sh*t load o porn and maybe its just my computer but morpheus takes ages to load.

there both bullsh*t and they've been sh*t since the start

Merlin · 28th May 2002, 16:50

I never used the 'shit' (

) file sharing progs. Only Napster, which royally fux0red my Win95, back in 1999. After that, just Audiogalaxy on rare occasions. I got my ~500 MP3's off the college network. 10MB/second? Now THAT is file sharing...

s1138 · 28th May 2002, 17:21

i hope grokster dont go down.

oh, and did you here about the RIAA goin after audiogalaxy?

AG may sound like a stupid idea but it works dam it. it was great in my sad and lonely 56k years

and its still good now in my DSL days, although not as fast as i would like it 2 b.
good that kazaa is going down cuz of itz evil spyware and cpu cycle killer
ever since the update, morph just plane sux arse
hotline is koo

MrDomino · 29th May 2002, 06:04

Meh, I have an aversion to anything with spyware. I like SongSpy simply cause it's lean and clean. It has a few bugs, but the bitrates are ludicrous so I love it. How clean is this Gnucleus? I'm always looking for something new to fall back on.

Then tell bell to fuck themselves, and join istop. that's where i'm going.

deadrabbit · 30th May 2002, 11:34

AG's also got the advantage of being virus free . . . I also found it great to use before I got DSL

Usual Suspect · 30th May 2002, 17:27

You guys ever heard of Kazaa lite?
Anyways it's kazaa without all the nasty spyware.
Although if you have already downloaded and installed the original kazaa the lite kazaa wont get rid of your spyware. You gotta start fresh with kazaa lite if you dont want the spyware.

So if you dont have kazaa already and you want it without the spyware take a visit to kazaalite.com

I hope its useful to you

DUST · 30th May 2002, 19:14

ya i hav herd of kazzalite but i hav red many reviews on it and almost half of em r bad, they say that it would crash there system or the search feature is not as good
is it really the same a reg kazaa??
-dust

Usual Suspect · 30th May 2002, 19:32

Works perfect for me

......But if you are unsure, i suggest going to one of your friends house, download kazaa lite on his comp, and see if it f#%^'s up his computer. If it doesnt...your good to go,...if it does, at least it wasnt your computer = /.........

Merlin · 30th May 2002, 21:31

Very honorable...

slacker52 · 31st May 2002, 16:12

atempting kazaa lite...

Gonzotek · 31st May 2002, 18:41

Kazaalite IS kazaa, it's just a hacked up executable that has been repackaged without all the crap. It's EXACTLY the same functionality-wise as kazaa....the only difference would be that whenever kazaa releases a new version (1.5.1 to 1.6, for instance) it takes a bit of time before kazaalite is updated to match.

-=Gonzotek=-

slacker52 · 1st June 2002, 04:54

well i dont need kazaa lite, all i need is the cd_clint.dll and adaware

Atmo · 1st June 2002, 05:14

KaZaA Lite is great. As for it making your system unstable, i have it running 99% of the time (though not always downloading) and its fine. Morpheus used to make my system unstable when switching screen resolutions under xp.

DUST · 1st June 2002, 08:37

there is a good reason for staying w/kazaa, it resumes downloads. i tell it to download a sh it load of stuff b4 i go 2 bed and it slowly but surly downloads everything, even when the origanal user w/ the thing disconnects. name sum otherz that finds more recources w/o having 2 b asked... other than AG
-dust
seriously i need sumthin else that can do that

slacker52 · 1st June 2002, 18:04

grokster

schockey · 1st June 2002, 20:03

I just do NOT buy any more music CD's. BREAK the RIAA! Bring them to their knees!

Alanis Morrisette, for example, says he hates fame. Make her "unfamous!"

slacker52 · 2nd June 2002, 03:06

buy only music you like

that doesn't any difference at all to ram usage or the adds

MrDomino · 2nd June 2002, 03:30

I buy music for bands I want to support, and for hard to find stuff that's not out there in the world of filesharing. I think that it will be necessary for the music industry to severely restructure, because it's not a good thing for music when hundreds of respected artists start saying that this isn't an industry they want to be in anymore. To be honest, I think they screwed the whole thing from the get go by making it an "industry."

Usual Suspect · 2nd June 2002, 12:48

Winamprocker, adaware does not get rid of all the spyware in kazaa, you can't use it and believe all the spyware is gone. Adaware just locates the spyware and hopefully gets rid of the most it can.

thats why you keep your ad-aware definitions updated... so it can find the stuff

Usual Suspect · 3rd June 2002, 13:46

In most situations adaware does not get rid of 100% of the spyware = /
Instead of using adaware, dont make the mistake of downlaoding kazaa, check up on everything you download.
Download.com is a very reliable source. Kazaa was thier most popular download, but they still took it off thier server because of its spyware.

c2R · 3rd June 2002, 14:35

yeah, too right.

If that BDE projector that's installed is capable of being a dstributed processing and spying network, as is claimed, then it's a gross infringement of the user's rights.

It probably does say you consent for all that in the terms of agreement, but most of them are worded in such a complicated manner that many people need a BA in law or english to be able to comprehend them at all.

Just use WinMX. The new version 3.1 has just about everything anyone would want in a file sharing program anyways.

slacker52 · 3rd June 2002, 15:50

winmx (NO SPYWARE)
audiogalaxy (has gator but that can be removed with no problem)
grokster (i only founnd cydor after instaling this one, take away cydor and you need the cd_clint.dll)

the best ways to share without spyware

Usual Suspect · 3rd June 2002, 16:10

I have Winmx, but i can never seem to find enough people that actually share thier files = /

Too many people are greedy these days

slacker52 · 3rd June 2002, 16:16

thats why you need more than 1 file sharing client

Usual Suspect · 3rd June 2002, 17:02

I have

kazaa lite
imesh
aimster
winmx
limelight (not used yet)

DUST · 3rd June 2002, 19:37

im not greedy, any1 happen to hav ranma? suspect, ill trade anime if u got sum good sh it. did u make that icon? wot is a good site to get the cl_sumthing file from?
