KaZaA
Software Download
Search, download, and interact with a variety of files with this P2P file-transfer application. The latest version of KaZaA keeps the original functionality but makes a number of improvements to address user complaints and KaZaA's own business opportunities.
Of the eight main KaZaA toolbar buttons, two are indispensable. The search function lets you configure your search with a good number of filters to help you find what you are looking for, whether it's music, video, software, pictures, documents, or any other type of computer file. KaZaA's huge user base means you are likely to find what you want.
The Traffic function lets you monitor the progress of your downloads and see what other people are downloading from you. Adding a Euro twist, KaZaA's interface is available in French, German, and Spanish, in addition to English.
Some people might find KaZaA's Theatre function useful, although most file swappers already have preferred playback software. The Start screen is simply a browser window for information about KaZaA, and the Rip/Copy/Burn button launches a browser-based advertisement. Along with KaZaA's own banner ad window, Cydoor will launch the occasional pop-up ad.
A component called Altnet causes some search results to display gold icons. Companies pay KaZaA to put these listings on the network, though KaZaA makes no distinction whether the files are pay-per-use, ad-supported, or demo versions.
