AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2004 When I download a video file from Kazaa v2.7, it's always either "remotely queing", "more sources", or when it does download it's at a painfully slow speed. I have a high speed connection that downloads video files off of my Internet at like 500 kbs. So what's my problem? And is a better place for downloading videos than Kazaa?

JJMc 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 I have the same problem a lot of the time, and it's increasingly more regular with music now, too. I think Kazaa just blows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
{''({o..o})''} 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 Too many people abusing the system by not sharing, or artifically raising their rating to get downloads first. Blame people for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 I'm also on a college server, that might be the problem with limited bandwith and such. Music downloads are decent, usually around 30 kbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 Kazaa is a dying whore. For everything you'll find on there, there are far better programs to use. I should just put together a post that will be the definitive TSM theft system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 But then we wont have the same topic pop up 3 times a month.....where is the fun in that?

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2004 They're slow because people don't upload as fast as they download, and the people who are sharing files can't send real fast especially if they have popular stuff and get hammered. As for making a theft thread, I try and actively discourage piracy around here with sneering remarks and a lack of help towards those who want to do it. My opinion is, if you can't figure it out how to do it yourself, you don't fucking deserve it and need to sit down and shut up. It's not exactly like it's 1994 anymore.

AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2004 One more question, sometimes when I'm downloading, the dl will freeze at random points and I will have to cancel and start the process all over again. How can this be avoided and/or fixed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
