Kazaa Loses P2P Crown To Edonkey

I(rispee_I(reme writes "According to the network population stats at slyck, FastTrack (home of Kazaa) is no longer the most populous filesharing network. Top honors now belong to edonkey, a network of German origins. (Most edonkey users connect with emule, a gpl client for Windows)."

old kazaalite still best: no sharing, set PL=1000

[Cryofan]

The old kazaalite let you set your participation level to 1000, and then you could turn off sharing. It still works fine (or at least that is what a friend told me....).

BTW, given the current fascisto-legal environment here in America, I would not recommend that any American citizen share any copyrighted files on any p2p network, but especially not on bittorrent, as that network works with software that can tell any client on the network the IP of every uploader AND every downloader, and you cannot ONLY download on bittorrent.

Seems to me that the best alternative is to use the old version of kazaalite, turn off sharing, and set your participation level to 1000. I see no way for anyone using that configuration to be in any danger. Just my opinion. Anyone else have an opinion on that?

BTW, how can the credit system be secure? the only shure way I can think of requires a centralized server system. Elswise why couldn't someone set up one or two systems with rigged clients that simply claim, or give each other, a much higher rating?
