Try not to suffer my fate.Īn extremely frustrating program for users on a 56k Modem, as mentioned above. Supposedly you can opt to not install it when installing kazaa but I didnt notice anything like that. I didn't know kazaa was the source of it till I saw the slashdot post. I did a search for it on google and found the manufacturer's site which confirmed my suspicion. I figured out it had to be some program that was causing it and looking through my list of processes I noticed something called 'eZula' When I killed it the yellow links stopped appearing. There was an interesting debate about it on slashdot.Īnyway one of the things they were all oblivious to is that you can uninstall it from the add/remove program dialogue. Some examples of words that got turned into links that I saw included 'casino' 'auction' 'win'. Of course, if don't want to share the files, you can move them out of the 'My Shared Folder' folder.ĭownload KaZaA at: Beware if you download and install kazaa, it tries to install something called Ezula or Hottext or some other stupid name, anyway this program grabs keywords out of web pages you download and turns them into yellow links to commerical web sites. As Devon_Hart nicely pointed out, Theatre is a Windows Media Player plugin.Įvery file that you download goes to a 'My Shared Folder.' The files that are in this folder are also the ones that you share with the rest of the KaZaA community. Theatre is a screen where you can view movies as they're downloading, or one once it is completed.

It takes a bit longer to search, though not much longer at all (at the max, a minute).Īnother nice option of KaZaA is Theatre. KaZaA works by sending the query to each individual user.

Napster works through a server, where your computer sends a list of its music files, and Napster keeps track of that while you are signed on (to make searching for files quicker). The benefits are mainly for broadband users, as the movies are quite large and take too long (usually) on a 56k line.Īlso, unlike Napster, it is much more difficult to shut down. Unlike Napster, however, you are able to search for ANY file, not just music files. Like Napster, you log in and search for a file name. KaZaA is a 1.5 MB program that works on the surface much like Napster.
