Thanks mister Nut. I'm pretty much sold to Nero though, especially since it comes bundled with the main CD writer brand I sell. I would be curious to compare it to Stomp's software, but I don't have 40U$ to spend on it when I get Nero for free.

Silly Canuck, Kazaa is free!

Nero 6 will probably still beat the crap out of it, but I found somone sharing it on Kazaa like an hour ago.

I AM NOT A CANADIAN! (and therefore not a canuck either...or a moose)

Putting Kazaa with all its spywares on my PCs is against my religion. Every damn broken computer I'm asked to repair has that POS software on it and it's more often than not the cause of the problem(s). I say no to Kazaa.

Does your host file no good.

Does your host file no good.

I finally installed Kazaalite on one of my test machines and I'm curious about what's wrong with the (huge) host file they want us to put instead of our usual pretty slim one. So far, it hasn't made .Nut Server 2003 any less stable than it was previously to the replacement of the host file and I downlaoded some 15 mp3 so far. All this solely for educational purpose, of course ;-)

I've had the host file block out legitimate sites...

basically, most of what is listed in the kazaalite host file are ad servers... your host file tells your computer that the address of the ad servers is 127.0.0.1.. essentially redirecting the requests that would normally goto ad servers to load their ads and sends those requests to 127.0.0.1 (your computer)...

...assuming you aren't running a mirror of an ad server you should just get a page cannot be displayed(dns error) window or a red 'X' where an ad banner should be or maybe just a blank spot in the page.


if you like ads, then go ahead and stick with the default host file...you dont need the kazaalite version, it's just a bonus... but if you dont like ads and prefer a blank spot then the host file is an easy way to acomplish your goal...

 

[CougTek]

Thanks for the explanation. I'll keep their host file.

If Roxio was a less stupid company, they might make a demo of their $100 program available. Then I could look at it, shrug my shoulders and uninstall it without breaking any laws.
