Title: Kazaa on macs
Post by: preacher on 20 November 2003, 19:56: Not everything I say about macs is negative.

Looks like mac users can finally download from the kazaa networks.

Post by: xyle_one on 21 November 2003, 01:11: What files? Surely you dont suggest, gasp, we download "pirated" music & movies?

Post by: flap on 21 November 2003, 01:27: Well, yes.

Post by: slave on 21 November 2003, 01:33: Yeah, I think that tendency is rather universal. In fact when I used to use LimeWire a good deal of the clients were Mac clients. Of course now I use bit torrent, for everything from Slackware CDs to South Park episodes. It's quite fast. I would use eDonkey but my university blocks the ports it needs to use. :mad:

Post by: mushrooomprince on 21 November 2003, 03:24: this is just a ploy for those RIAA people to bust mac users. It used to be kazaa couldn't run on macs and mac users were pretty safe from the RIAA. Well not anymore.

Neo never worked right. It was basically crap.

Poisoned however, is amazing. Go get it today!

Damn those OSX users. DAMN THEM! Their taking all my precious software!

Post by: Stilly on 23 November 2003, 07:01: limewire has a version for classic
Title: Kazaa on macs
Post by: TheGreatPoo on 24 November 2003, 00:52: Yea, I already use Limewire. It's slow as dry dog shit in the sun though. Oh, well. Beggars can't be choosers I guess.
Title: Kazaa on macs
Post by: Pissed_Macman on 25 November 2003, 03:38: I can't get Poisoned to work very much at all. 3/4 downloads don't start and when they do it's always below 2 kB per second. So far Limewire pwns it.

Post by: Stilly on 25 November 2003, 04:11: yeah poisoned isn't that great

Post by: Stilly on 27 November 2003, 07:40: what made it kick ass?
Title: Kazaa on macs
Post by: Pissed_Macman on 27 November 2003, 08:59: Because, although many downloads don't start, you will get tons of them if you type in a specific song. Just go through like ten and click download, then delete the downloads that don't start. Some of the ones that did start will move very fast.

But unlike Limewire, you can't just type in the name of the band and download random songs. You have to do a little internet research first.

Post by: Mills00013 on 17 December 2003, 21:15: i am constantly looking for different and newer ways to file share. with the damn mpaa and the record labels always on everybodys backsides about copyright and crap. it is all becoming too much of a hassel to try to find stuff that works. i have most always been a true limewire belive since it came out. i started with version 1.7. i used limewire fora long time.... like 1 year or so until i say new stuff like aquisiton. never liked aqusition so never used it a lot. then a software called multinet came out. multinet was basically the beta testing name and version of poisened. i loved it instantly. songs downloaded amazingly and most movies wernt too bad. compared to limewire there were so many more files and most everything could download not to mention you could actually connect to more than one user on more than one occasion. however i have also found its flaws. poisened is required to log ur IP to log u into the fasttrack network (kazaa). becuase of this not even macs are safe from the damn copyright commies. it also has a lot of glitchy windows stuff on it. another thing i have found is that any software that you search for is pretty much only windows. its never available for mac cause most fasttrack is on crappy windows PCs. anyways if you are still looking for a good sharing alternative check out www.bittorrent.com (http://www.bittorrent.com) or at least any bit torrent software. its probably where the p2p world is headed.

Post by: preacher on 30 December 2003, 22:16: Im glad that mac users can enjoy the kazaa network and all, but when will linux users be able to? Why doesnt someone just create a client that can connect like they did for macs?

True Limewire Belive, eh? How do you "belive" in something? I think you mean "believe"... but if you "believe" in a piece of software... that's pretty shallow.

quote:
since it came out. i started with version 1.7. i used limewire fora long time.... like 1 year or so until i say new stuff like aquisiton.

Man, did you learn that from the dictionary? Aquisition? It took you a year to say it?

quote:
never liked aqusition so never used it a lot.

Who never liked it? There's no subject in that sentence.

quote:
then a software called multinet came out. multinet was basically the beta testing name and version of poisened.

No. Multinet was a product called "Multinet". It became "Poisoned". I hate the name Poisoned. I wish it had stayed Multinet. That sounds cooler. Poisoned sounds "XTREAM".

And why is everybody so obsessed with "betas". A beta is nothing more than whatever they wanna call it nowadays. I could make something, work on it for two years, and get it perfect, and then put it out as a "beta". Beta has become a marketing ploy. Beta is pre-release quality. If they have it available for widespread use, then it's obviously been "released". It just hasn't reached 1.0 yet. A lot of good projects are "release quality" but aren't yet at 1.0. Take Mozilla Firebird as a case in point. No software is ever complete, so every release is really a "beta".

quote:
i loved it instantly. songs downloaded amazingly and most movies wernt too bad. compared to limewire there were so many more files and most everything could download not to mention you could actually connect to more than one user on more than one occasion.

Sales pitch. Who are you? Do you really have so little in your life that this is the most amazing thing that's happened to you in the last six months or so?

quote:

Cappies. They're CAPPIES! You're a communist, not them! Capitalists are the ones who will stop at nothing to make money. Actually, you're not a communist either. You're just a dude who's out for a free ride.

quote:
it also has a lot of glitchy windows stuff on it.

Glitchy windows stuff, eh? Such as? How would Poisoned have "glitchy windows stuff"? The thing is written for the Cocoa API. Cocoa is an updated version of the YellowBox/NeXTStep API. It's built around Objective-C, and full object-oriented concepts. Not Win32 which is built on C++. How would there be "glitchy windows stuff"?

quote:
another thing i have found is that any software that you search for is pretty much only windows. its never available for mac cause most fasttrack is on crappy windows PCs.

How is that a flaw in the software?

The P2P world? lol

That's pretty cute. The p2p world. If p2p disappeared tommorrow I wouldn't give a flying fuck. It'll mean the pigopolists shut up and crawl back into their slimepits, which is ALLRIGHT BY ME.

I hate the pigopolists, and so do you.

"Poisoned"

It's called 'Poisoned' because it's a translation of the word 'Gift'.

If you had any clue what you were talking about, you'd know that:

1. The speed of any P2P software depends on the user you're downloading from, and:

2. "Fuck" isn't necessarily slow.

Post by: hm_murdock on 2 January 2004, 03:41: how quick is "fuck" by the way?

what precisely is "fuck"... is it some kind of material?

I have heard of "fucking" which is a crass way of saying "fornicating"

but this fuck substance... sounds really terrible. it might transmit diseases or death. it might even be a bomb designed by terrorists

OH NO! NOT TERRORISTS!
