Kazaa K++ v2.40
July 10, 2003
Thomas Mennecke
Kazaa K++ has always been a favorite among the more hardcore P2P crowd. The ability to block system-draining third party software has made Kazaa K++ one of the more popular P2P programs. This versions more notable feature is the ability to block RIAA uploads. Will it succeed? Check out the release notes below:
Kazaa K++ is an enhanced Kazaa (KMD) with a lot of new features
only
available with K++. Some of the features are
(New!) Block RIAA and other organizations from
connecting, downloading
and uploading to you.
(New!) K++ default options have been changed to
protect your privacy. By default:
Bad IP ranges, eg. the ones from the RIAA and others, are
now blocked
automatically by K++ thanks to the PeerGuardian IP range
file. K++
blocks all these IP ranges from ever connecting to you (both TCP
and UDP), and
the connections are closed immediately without them getting a
single bit
from you.
No-one can get a listing of ALL your files through a "Find
all files from
this user" command (you're still able to share, though).
Port 1214 (aka Kazaa's port) is disabled so no-one can
scan your computer
to see if you're using Kazaa K++.
Your search history isn't saved in the registry.
All options can easily be changed should you not like the default
options.
(New!) Kazaa K++ now has a Windows XP
look
(New!) Upload view, download view, and search view show
windows
icons for each file name instead of the old blue icons.
(New!) Several Kazaa bugs have been fixed, including the serious Packet 0' Death FastTrack network vulnerability
(New!) Supports multiple users installation. All
users can
use K++ without a problem. The installer sets the
appropriate permissions
on folders and registry keys.
No spyware/adware installed, and no ads displayed.
Faster downloads
Unlimited searches
Participation level constant at 1000
(New!) The toolbar buttons right below the main menu now
have gripper bars
so you can move them to other places to get more room for eg. the web
browser
or your upload/download view.
(New!) You can now re-download a file you've previously
already started to
download instead of getting a message such as "You've already started
downloading this file. Check download view.". The reason you want
this
option is if you've cancelled a file (eg. by accident), and want to
download
it again. Previously, this was impossible, but now you can download
it
again.
(New!) K++ options can now be easily changed while K++ is
running, and
without having to restart it in order for the changes to take
effect.

Preview, K-Dat,
K-Sig, Speed Up and KaZuperNodes.
