Kazaa just blows on the PC. Fill your pc up with spy ware. Like WinMX better.

That's why you get Kazaa LITE. No spyware.

Sure there is! Open up Terminal, type "dd count=4096 if=/dev/urandom of=~/Kazaa.app" and try it out. If it doesn't work, just repeat the line. According to The Law Of Infinite Monkeys On Typewriters you'll eventually get a working OS X Kazaa client (in only 2MB!).

Running Lavasoft Ad-Aware also helps.

There is no offical Kazaa client for Mac. No Kazaa, no KL, nothing.

You can however access it through a third party app like everyone else has mentioned above. Do a search on VersionTracker.

Sure there is! Open up Terminal, type "dd count=4096 if=/dev/urandom of=~/Kazaa.app" and try it out. If it doesn't work, just repeat the line. According to The Law Of Infinite Monkeys On Typewriters you'll eventually get a working OS X Kazaa client (in only 2MB!).
And ignore that, he's not helping you... As a general rule on a Mac, never type anything in your Terminal unless it comes from a trusted, reliable source. There are certain commands that can wipe ur HD with a stroke of the return key.

I seem to never get anything from Poisoned, downloads stop straight after they start.
I've had great success with mlmac, and xnap.

No way José. They still using the Gnutella network, and ONLY the Gnutella network. In Poisoned and MLMac you got a couple of thousand more hits. And the clients are FREE.

although it may sound surprising, I have had the best luck with "Limewire". I tried some of the other programs (like "Carracho"), but there were too many steps involved and the whole experience was confusing.

I agree that WinMX is the best one for Windows.. I loved that program.

No Limewire only connects to Gnutella.
