Waylander Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Use KL ver 2.4.3 for the odd asian song etc. I have found that following switching to Sky BB [with the router and all] and post reinstall to XPSP2 I cannot connect. It just sits there "not connected". I have been told Sky do not block any ports; so I wonder if the issue it: KL++ is now down [unlikely] There is a settign I need to tweak because of the router There is something I need to tweak becauase of SP2??? Any clues please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 sorted it - it was SP2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omi Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Tried using Shareaza instead? Uses Gnutella 1/2 and eDonkey networks to get your goodies... Prefer BitTorrent personally, but it depends what you're downloading I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I use bitTorrent mainly but it doesnt have much of a range of bollywood-type songs. I have stuck with version 2.4.3 of KL++ and not any newer ones or Shareaza as I was led to believe they were riddled with spyware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malagus Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 shareaza isn't too bad actually, just keep sweeping the pc for spyware every so often. i like microtorrent (utorrent) for my d/l needs, though i use shareaza for the odd track.

Waylander Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 oh okay I will give it a look. Mind you KL is now working... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaunty Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I find that using P2P software is the fastest way to fill a PC with spyware and viruses, to get around this I use a cool FREE tool from Micro$oft (yes!) called Virtual PC 2007 you can build a completly isolated environment so that if you get infected you can delete it and go back to an earlier date, the entire system is contained in a single file. All you have to do is make a copy of the file before you do something stupid then if it all goes wrong you don't have to rebuild your real PC.

Omi Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Personally I only use reliable link-sites, check that the file I'm downloading is what I'm actually looking for, clean and immunise the PC regularly and use software that isn't malware-ridden. Haven't had a problem in the last 4 years with Spyware, Malware or Virii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
