Some file is missing when I want to run one of the Kazaa Lite tools.
Go to this website:
http://www.megasecurity.org/Needed_files.html
Download the file you need and put it in the Windows System folder.
What is K-Dat?
This tool can be used to view information of your .dat files:
- Filename
- Size
- usernames of sources
- IP addresses of sources
- IP addresses of Supernodes
- The file data itself
- Destination folder of the file
- Etc.
What is Dat View?
This a program similar to K-Dat, but less advanced.
What is Sig2Dat?
This is a program for creating and using Sig2Dat hashes. For more information see the Sig2Dat Tutorial in this FAQ.
What is K-Sig?
This is an more advanced version of the Sig2Dat program. For more information see the Sig2Dat Tutorial in this FAQ.
What is AVI Preview?
This tool can be used to preview your partial downloads, even while they are downloading. This tool support AVI and MPEG files.
What is KaZuperNodes?
This is a supernode manager. With it you can connect to a supernode of your choice. It can show information about supernodes, like their username and geographical location.
What is Speed Up?
When you right-click on an item in the download screen of Kazaa, you can 'search for more sources'. Kazaa will then search for more users from which it can download that file. This usually speeds up your downloads.
The Speed Up tool automates that for you by running alongside Kazaa Lite and every few minutes it automatically searches for more sources.
Speed Up can be used best if you are away from your computer, Kazaa Lite will always be on the lookout for alternative sources.
What do all of the Speed Up settings do?
Seconds between cycles: This is the number of seconds between the start of a cycle and the start of the next cycle. During a cycle the program will go through you download list and do a 'Search for more sources' action for each active download. This value must be bigger as the number of seconds between items times the number of items in the list.
Recommended setting: 600
Seconds between items: This is the number of seconds between each item on your download list.
If you have a lot of downloads, telling them all to search at the same time will cause a lot of bandwidth and potentially net congestion, not to mention less chances of finding what you are looking for.
Recommended setting: 60
Limit searching to X items: This is the maximum number of items for which the program will try to find more sources. It is recommended to enable this option.
Recommended setting: 2 for dialup, 8 for broadband users
Skip paused and queued: The program won't try to find more sources for files that are either paused or queued.
Clear downloaded and erroneous: Removes finished and failed downloads from the traffic window.
Clear uploaded and erroneous: Removes finished and aborted uploads from the traffic window.
Recommended settings: All three enabled.
Client to load: Set this to Search.
Load with windows: Both Speed Up and Kazaa Lite will be started when Windows is started.
Recommended setting: Disabled
Shutdown when finished downloading: Windows will be shut down when all downloads have finished.
Recommended setting: Disabled
Speed Up resumes paused downloads when it should not.
It's a small bug in Speed Up. There is no real solution for this.
