does anyone know if kazaa for the mac can be obtained. i have come across a couple of sites charging 14.95 for a password and software i guess. just wondering if this is legit or if it can be obtained free?

thanks

There is no kazaa for the mac, what you've found are scams. The closest you can do is to get Neo, which is a kazaa shadow client (doesn't connect to kazaa servers but uses brute force to find kazaa hosts). Or virtual pc + kazaa.

Other options are to use Gnutella (via limewire or acquisition), Direct Connect (my favorite), eDonkey (via MLDonkey), GiftBoX.

Never liked kazaa personally (eg download something called x and you get y, annoying as hell).

Um, there are several large threads about this in the Software forum right now.

actually there is something better than kazaa, it runs kazaa, and about 10 other networks, but its a lot of work to get it running if u dont know unix, its called mldonkey, dont even bother with the other crap

Yes Kazza.com and MP3university.com are scams.

You pay 23USD and they give you a copy of limewire, - seriously.

Steer clear.

In before the lock, I love the idea of people ripping off those who are trying to find an inexpencive way to rip off others.
