You can install this version on top of your current Kazaa Lite installation. That way it will remember all your settings.
It is strongly recommended to first uninstall the following software before installing Kazaa Lite: Kazaa Media Desktop / Grokster / Sig2Dat / Diet Kaza
==> Kazaa Lite [K++ Edition] <==
This is the main program. It is a clean and highly improved version of the Kazaa Media Desktop software.
The improvements are:
- No Spyware.
- No Adware.
- No pop-ups.
- No banners.
- No bit rate limits for MP3 files.
- Customized start-up page (can be changed to anything you want).
- Unlimited times 'Search more' is possible.
- Multi-source downloads now have a maximum of 40 simultaneous sources (instead of 8).
- 'Find more sources' is possible once every minute per file (instead of every 10 minutes).
- Participation Level is set at a constant 1000 (can be disabled)
- People to which you upload can't cut in line anymore regardless of their Participation Level. This improves the number of completed uploads and takes away the advantage that cheaters have.
- No 3rd party dll files loaded anymore (TopSearch/BullGuard).
- No more gold-colored search results (Altnet Inc).
- Fixed Kazaa's error 1030 bug.
- Shared files are scanned every 5 minutes (instead of every 1 minute) to save system resources. This can be changed to any value.
- My Shared Folder is located on the system drive by default (usually C:\My Shared Folder). This can be changed to another location easily in Kazaa Lite options.
- Added keyboard shortcuts.
- Shortcuts to My Shared Folder are now dynamic. They will always work, regardless of the location of your shared folder.
- Built-in AutoSearchMore feature.
- Built-in K++ option configuration.
- Built-in Accelerator functions.
- Advanced Pause and Resume functions.
- Search history can be cleaned automatically when closing Kazaa Lite.
- System tray icon can be hidden.
- Splash screen can be disabled.
- Option to prevent people from being able to see a list of all of your shared files.
- Add-on tools can be started from within Kazaa Lite.
- It is possible to start other programs from within Kazaa Lite.
- Sig2Dat QuickLinks can be added directly to the download list. No need to restart Kazaa Lite.
- Various great add-on tools (see below).
==> Add-on Tools <==
K-Sig:
With this tool you can easily download files by clicking on a Sig2Dat hyperlink (these are posted on various websites and forums). This tool will automatically add the file to your download list. This way you can download a file without having to search for it yourself. This is very useful to download files whose contents have been verified by others. With this tool you can also make your own Sig2Dat QuickLinks/hashes that you can post on the various forums.
K-Dat:
This tool can be used to view lots of information about .dat files (partial downloads). Such as filenames, sizes, info about sources, destination folder, etc.
It can extract the file data out of a .dat file. It can modify sources and the destination location of the file. It has a feature that enables you to open .dat files in an external program (for example AVI Preview) with the press of a button.
AVIPreview:
This tool can be used to preview your partial movie downloads, even while they are downloading. It supports AVI and MPEG files.
Supertrick:
This is a method to block certain websites/servers using a standard Windows file called 'Hosts'. We have customized this file to block a lot of advertising on the Internet. This file is NOT required by Kazaa Lite.
