Try Winmx too - most excellent.

PS - I do not condone file sharing of any kind.

as hobo said.same stuff but without the spyware.
if you want to see what kazaa does to your pc, just download Startup Manger (download.com) and see the mess it makes.Swines!!!

cos they dont know any diffrent and kazaa lite became so popular that the site got pulled, so you have to find it elsewhere.
ironic thing is you can download kazaa lite from kazaa servers hehe
ppl will probably say there are better ones out there, just my 2 pennies worth

BE WARNED RECORD COMPANIES PLANT VIRUSES IN TRACKS ON KAZAA AND TRASH YOUR HARD-DRIVE! HAS HAPPENED TO A FEW MATES!
FIRST TELL TALE SIGN IS WHEN YOUR DESKTOP PICTURE GOES BACK TO DEFAULT! UNINSTALL AND KEEP RUNNING VIRUS PROTECTOR AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL ITS ALL CLEARED!

Just a word of advice!

DO NOT TOUCH ANY VERSIONS OF KAZAA !

if you even think about using this program you should be shot. basically you d/l from people who dont have the slightest knowledge of computers. your've got about 1 in 100 chance of getting what you want complete and virus free.

loose WIN ME mate it's extremely unstable...........XP is the way forward
