Kazaa "Participation Level" Sucks!!
Ranger Brian
The Anti-Scrooge
in Zocalo v2.0
I have Kazaa (Lite) running most of the and upload a hell of a lot more than I download, hense my Level had hit the top (1000).
So I try and download some Jeremiah and Enterprise 2nd season episodes, and after a few hours I return to my PC, and low and behold my level has droped to [b]148![/b] [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/mad.gif[/img]
But this is the really annoying part, in the same time I had tried to download these files, I had upload at least 3 times as many files, most of which are complete episodes of Jeremiah and 1st season Enterprise, but can you guess what my level is...? Yep it's still 148.
It sucks I hadn't downloaded anything for over 2 weeks and had uploaded shed loads, but it doesn't take that into account. It looks like once you hit the top level it stops counting, and as soon as you download anything [b]BAM[/b] your level drops to a point where you can no longer download, because you're pushed to the bottom of the que as you've too low a participation level.

EDIT: NM, I figured it out [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]
The hack, however, comes with certain versions of Kazaa Lite. Upgrade yourself to 2.0.0, build 2 ([b]NOT[/b] 2.0.2). It comes with a program called KL Cheater. What this does is upload files in your own shared directory to yourself. As the files don't have to go anywhere, it takes VERY little time. You can go from Zero to 1000 in about a minute or so.

Who on earth CARES?!?

I can still Download, no problems. As far as I can tell, perticipation level has NO effect on how kazaa runs. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img]

Don't know how true that is, but I have noticed that I don't have to sift through as many "more sources needed" or "remotely queued" before I can download a file, now.
