Kazaa Says On Track to Be Most-Downloaded Program

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tradition-of-heritage dept.

Cody Watkins writes "Reuters has a story about Kazaa surpassing ICQ as the most downloaded piece of software (according to C|Net Download.com). 'As of late Thursday, the Kazaa Media Desktop application -- a file-sharing software that has drawn the wrath of the music industry by enabling its users to swap songs for free -- had been downloaded 229,150,955 times, as measured by Download.com.'"

      Although porn is not a program, porn is the most downloaded content on the Internet. The parent shouldn't be modded offtopic though.

    For things like that, I resort to USENET. I honestly didn't expect HL for DC to have been leaked, since I would have expected it shortly after its cancellation, but I found it about two months ago.

    Interesting timing. I was skimming an old "Game Pro" the other day and happened across the article about the DC version of HL being cancelled.

    When a similarly completed game for the PSX was canned (Thrill Kill) it was leaked onto the net by pissed off developers.

    Try Edonkey or Emule. It seems to have a pretty strong DC community.

    Jesus this 2 minute posting rule sucks...

    REALLY sucks...
