Kazaa Lite won't connect. What's wrong?
Check the following things:
- Are you running a firewall? Try disabling
it.
- Windows XP also has a built-in firewall.
Try disabling it.
- Are you on a school/university/work network?
Then the port used by Kazaa Lite may be blocked.
Try setting a different port in Options.
- In the Kazaa Lite Resurrection Tools menu,
click to launch KaZuperNodes. Once it's loaded
click on the red and white hospital looking
cross in the bottom right corner.
• I get an error
that a file was not found when starting KLR.
If the missing file is "MSVBM60.DLL"
go
here to
get it.
If the missing file is "MSCOMCTL.OCX"
go
here to
get it.

Kazaa Lite Resurrection users shows one users
with so many GB, example: (1-50GB).
The solution is to open up Kazaa Lite Resurrection
and at the top you will see these words: File
Tools, Player and Options. Click Options go to
Kazaa Lite Resurrection Options, a dialog box
pops up. Look for K++ advanced Options uncheck
"Force being Supernode". Click apply,
hit OK then wait a few seconds and all should
be well.

My downloads are too slow. Alternatively, I cannot
connect to fast enough users.
This can be a number of things. The download speed
depends on the user(s) you are downloading from:
your downloads cannot be faster than their upload
bandwidth allows. If you are on dial up, aka 56k
(phone connection) your connection will limit
this (the reason why you have so much download
speed and so much upload speed). Unless you get
broadband (cable, DSL satellite) you are stuck
this way. Alternatively, you may be running some
type of firewall on your computer that prevents
you from a good download speed.
However, there is a way to get as many sources
as you can. Open up Kazaa Lite Resurrection. Click
Options. Kazaa Lite Resurrection Options, K++
Advanced Options. You will see Max. Sources per
file... The default is 16. Type in 999, hit apply,
and OK. You do need to restart Resurrection for
this, if 999 people are On. Will look for 999
copies of the file you are trying to download.
You can get the idea.

My WebPages are slow after installing Kazaa Lite
resurrection.
You have a certain amount of bandwidth for your
connection. 56k and ISDN (128k) users have the
lowest bandwidth. If you have this you cannot
upload as much. If you are on broadband, in addition,
experience, slow loading webpages. Go to Options,
Kazaa Lite Resurrection Options. Go to Advanced
tab you will see 2 boxes the 1 that says maximum
bandwidth in kilobits, the box across that says
256. Change this to 32. Which is 4 kilobytes for
every person. As the number of people grow, 4
kilobytes will be divided among the downloading
users. If you are on dial up change this to 24
kilobits.
•
Can I customize my Start Page?
Yes, you can go to Options. Kazaa Lite Resurrection
Options, K++ Options, the start page is
across a box that has a webpage address in it.
You can change this to any webpage. Examples:
www.filesharingplace.com, www.google.com, etc.
•
Does Kazaa use Internet Explorer?
Kazaa Lite Resurrection as default uses Internet
Explorer, even if you use Mozilla/FireFox, Opera, as your
default browser.
• Something is
wrong with the song I downloaded.
Most
people in the FastTrack file sharing community know
by now about the corrupted songs that have spread
around. It seems that most of the new/popular songs
have been corrupted and seeded by the
RIAA or other organizations working towards the
same cause. There are many different types of
corrupted songs. One example of a corrupted song is
that the first 20 seconds or so of a song will sound
fine, and then get garbled into a screechy sound.
The only solution to this is to download a new copy
from another user and delete the one you
have, do NOT keep sharing it. If you were able to
determine the IP of the user you downloaded the file
from, please send it to us.
•
Can I make a play list of my favorite songs and
video's?
Yes you can! Click MY KLR, if you have an old
version that says My Kazaa Lite Resurrection,
click that. On the left side you will see New
Play List. Click on the file that you wish to
add. Click Actions and add to the play list.
•
My downloads are always "Remotely Queued"
and "More Sources Needed" can i fix
this?
There are lots of reasons for this:
- The users sharing the file you want went
offline while you were downloading. Kazaa Lite
uses intelligent downloads to periodically try
and continue downloading your file, so in this
case you can just leave Kazaa Lite running until
it finds it again.
- The user(s) have stopped sharing the file you want; you will never be able to
finish your download. The user doesn't necessarily have bad intentions when he
stops sharing a file. The file might be corrupt, incomplete or the file might
have accidentally been deleted.
- Kazaa Lite Resurrection blocks downloads
from users that share fake/corrupt files. You
may have been trying to download a file from one
of these users. (Note: KLR does not have the
ability to block all these users.)
•
I do not want to be sued, can I take a precaution
to this other then not to share?
Other than to stop sharing, Kazaa Lite Resurrection
has an IP blocker, go to Tools then Bad IP Blocker. Check it daily because new
bad IPs are always added. The IPs are the bad
guys.
•
I had Kazaa Media Desktop (KMD) but I got Kazaa
Lite Resurrection now. I heard I have spyware,
do I?
Yes. You do have forms of spyware that besides
being called 'spyware', are also called 'adware'
and 'malware'. If you had or have any version
of Kazaa Media Desktop from www.kazaa.com. You
will have spyware as of BDE, altnet, P2P networking,
and the list can go on. You can get a spyware
removal tool from here: Spybot - Search &
Destroy. There is also Ad-aware. Both these spyware
removers can clean your system. To keep your system
clean (protect it) I recommend this: Spyware Blaster.
I have used it and have not found spyware ever
again on my PC. Remember to keep these programs
updated, because new spyware is developed every
day. It is your job to keep and protect your system.
•
Why do so many uploads from my machine end up
aborted?
Don't worry; this is due to uploads being taken
from multiple sources. The user uploading from
you probably finished the download using an alternative
source. Or maybe that user just went offline.
•
What are those red crosses on some of my search
results?
That means that those files are shared by a user
who is behind a firewall and that they probably
can't be downloaded from that user.
It is better to filter out these results. That
can be done in Kazaa Lite options, on the filter
tab.
•
Why am I downloading from fewer sources as than
I found in the search?
There are lots of reasons for this:
- There is a maximum for the number of sources
that is used simultaniously. This is 8 in the
old Kazaa Lite versions. With the K++/Resurrection
Editions you can chance that value. The default
value is 16.
- Sources may have gone offline in the meanwhile.
- Speed: If you download from only a few people,
but the speeds are good, then Kazaa Lite won't
try to add any additional sources. Only when
the total speed is low, it tries to add some
more sources to download from.
- When you start a download, a maximum of 30
sources is stored in the partial download. So
having hundreds of sources in the searchresults
is pretty pointless. Once the download is started
additional sources can be added, up to 150 in
total.
- But the most important reason why you usually
only download from one or two sources at a time
is that the sources don't have a free upload
slot available for you to use. A simple
example:
Let's say that there are 100 people. On
average they each have 5 upload slots. That
means a maximum of 500 total uploads from these
people. Now if each of these 100 people has
3 active downloads, then there would be 300
downloads. But with only 500 available upload
slots you will see that the chances of downloading
a file from multiple sources are pretty small.
That is why most files only download from one
or two sources at a time. Only with very popular
files you are likely to be able to download
from many people at once

My school blocks the use of Kazaa, what now?
IN KLR go to options, KLR options, firewall, and
click on use socky5 proxy put localhost for the
host and 1080 for the port. Then write down the
port number at the bottom of the screen. Then
open HTTP Tunnel and go to add settings, add port/locations
and put the port number you got from KLR in the
port and 1080 for local host and put you IP in
the box (whatismyip.com) and then close both.
open http tunnel, then open KLR and it should
work. If my directions are wrong, check here for
http-tunnel directions http://www.http-tunnel.com/html/support/user_guides.asp.

The bandwidth column in Kazaa is inaccurate, how
do I fix it?
In kazaa your bandwidth is determined by your
internet connection, I will give examples of what
your bandwidth should look like if you are using
different types of internet connection:
Dail up: 30 - 70
ISDN: 90 - 150
DSL: 200 - 1500
Cable or T1: 1500+
T2 and above: 2500+
I must add that the bandwidth in kazaa is not
always accurate, I have been on dial up, conected
at 49.2 kbps and only got a bandwidth rating of
29 max.
