What is Speed Up ?
When you right-click on an item in the download screen of KaZaA, you can 'search for more sources'. KaZaA will then search for more users from which it can download that file. This usually speeds up your downloads.
The Speed Up tool automates that for you by running alongside Kazaa Lite and every few minutes it automatically searches for more sources.
Speed Up can be used best if you are away from your computer, KaZaA Lite will always be on the lookout for alternative sources.
What do all the Speed Up settings do?
The Refreshdelay sets how long it will wait between going through your download list and looking for more sources. You don't want to be doing this too regularly as it takes up bandwidth and causes unnecessary traffic on the FastTrack network. I would set this to 360 seconds or longer.
The Itemdelay set how long of a wait between each item on your download list. If you have a lot of downloads, telling them all to search at the same time will cause a lot of bandwidth and potentially net congestion, not to mention less chances of finding what you are looking for. I would set this to 40 seconds.
The Max. Find More Sources is for how many items there will be searched for more sources. If you are a 56K modem user, I would suggest setting this to 2. If you are a fast internet access user, like cable or adsl, setting it to 5 is fine.
Skipped paused and queued. This is a very impotent box to check. This keeps Kazaa from trying to download more then your max download setting in the Kazaa options. You always want to be downloading any file at it's maximum download rate. If you are downloading to many files at once, your overhead becomes more, and your files come in slower.
The rest of the boxes should be un-checked by default.
Speed Up resumes paused downloads when it should not.
Try disabling your skin in KaZaA Lite.
What is P-Track (a.k.a PseudoTrack) ?
With this tool you can:
- set up multiple user profiles for KaZaA Lite
- filter finished files into different folders
- automaticly find more sources (like Speed Up does)
Some file is missing when I want to start the PseudoTrack tool?
Go to this website:
http://www.webattack.com/help/missingfiles.html
There you can download the VB6 runtimes which include the files you need.
Some other file is missing when I want to run one of the Kazaa Lite tools.
Go to this website:
http://www.megasecurity.org/Needed_files.html
Download the file you need and put it in the Windows System folder.
What is Dat View ?
This tool can be used to extract information out of your .dat files:
- Filename
- Size
- usernames of sources
- IP addresses of sources
- IP addresses of Supernodes
- The file data itself
- Etc.
To see some of this information, you need to right-click somewhere in the Dat View screen and select 'Advanced'.
What is AVI Preview ?
This tool can be used to preview your partial downloads, even while they are downloading.
You can use the Dat View tool to find out which partial download contains which file.
What is KL Cheater ?
This tool can be used to increase your Participation Level in KaZaA Lite (version 2 only!). It does so by downloading your own shared files making KaZaA Lite think it is uploading to someone else. You need to share at least two files, otherwise this program will not work. Also make sure your upload bandwidth is set at a high enough speed (works best if it is set at unlimited). Once you have reached a high Participation Level, you can save it and restore it whenever you want. This will minimalize any further need to download files from yourself.
Features:
- Download Speed can be configured (less speed uses less resources from your PC)
- Auto Cheat when your level gets below a specified level
- Auto Stop at a level specified
- Clean Upload list after cheating
- Backup Participation Level
- Restore Participation Level (requires restart of KaZaA Lite)
- Auto Restore Participation Level and restart KaZaA Lite every X hours
KL Cheater does not read my Participation Level correctly.
This problem exists on Windows 98. These functions won't work:
- Auto Cheat and Auto Stop
If you are using a skin in Kazaa Lite, disable it.
Who is rocko@KaZaA ?
That would be the KL Cheater downloading files from you to improve your Participation Level. It is not some leecher getting all of your files.
I get "Kazaa lite service not found at port 1214" when running the KL Cheater.
The cheater doesn't work together with Socks2http or Http-Tunnel. Disable socks5 in KaZaA Lite.
Make sure you are sharing files! At least two are needed.
Make sure there are enough free upload slots available. The cheater will get bumped by other users if all of your upload slots are in use.
This can also happen if your IP address is automaticly refreshed by your cable provider. Restart the Cheater when you get this message.
