King Johns Guide Installing and using KaZaA Lite

Tools

Download the latest version of KaZaA Lite
Ptrack (Try to get an older version of 2.2)
Sigtodat 3.11

KaZaA lite comes with the new instant add to download, this means when you click a sig2dat link the file will be added to your KaZaA download list immediately, this is causing a lot of problems on some systems, resulting from the wrong files being added. Therefore I recommend you use the original Sig2dat program and not use this new feature.

Installation

Make sure you close down your current version of KaZaA, it is also advised that you back up your db folder, another good program to help with you current settings is the PTrack program, you can set up a lot of things with this program and maintain different profiles. www.ptrack.org (Currently closed) search www.google.com

Current version of this program is 2.43

Installation preferences

  • IP Blocker Updater
    Not needed

  • Send Sig2Dat Quick links direct to KaZaA
    This does cause problems with wrong files being sent, I recommend you switch it off

  • Enable IP blocker
    Don't get a false sense of security, apart from it being imposable to block companies in that list, you could end up blocking file sharing users on KaZaA. Switch it off you don't need it, its no use

  • Un-check the rest as listed.

After you have installed the program you need to set a few options up, quite a lot of these settings wont let you add values you really want, this is where you use Ptrack to set-up and register your profile.

For now lets set up what we can

Select this from the menu and check some of the settings

Clear the start page, or point to a html document on your hard drive, switch the other items off, they are of no use.

These setting mostly "Don't work" especially the scan for new, it is better to use the old Speed up program

Forget it, the program will only let you set 50 maximum number of simultaneous downloads, don't know about you, but there should be no restrictions in this program ?

Now select the KL Extensions Options, again here there are values you cannot use

Here the Accelerator can only be set to 30 seconds, use the old "Speed UP" program and don't bother with this Accelerator at all !!, you can scan every second with the old speed up, which is far better than every 30 seconds, if someone disconnects you, you will get back the connection immediately :)

Ptrack

Download and install Ptrack, use it to set things up, then un-install it !

Start ptrack, right click its Icon in your task bar and select "Show Main Window" from there you can change a lot of settings, not allowed in the main KaZaA. Try to get a old version of this program, the new version (2.2) is not as good as the older one.

Close the program and switch back to KaZaA, check out the settings have been enabled, try to change some of them, you will find it wont let you have the same value's :)

You now need to install the normal Sig2Dat Program

Happy finding more sources :)
