is there any way to make kazaa use a nonstandard port like 80 or 8080, etcetera? thanks, -kento :) :tu: |

however, i hear that sharman is working on a new version that is supposed to address various concerns and suggestions from users. whether the port throttling problem is one of them remains to be seen. - jaan |
Could this be the reason why I was getting some artist named "Johnny Virgil" as the first result everytime I searched for anything through it the last week or so? :con:

thanks, jaan.

M.F. Celine Mariah Barbra Whitney The Sea of Touch and Go :BL: Another interesting thing was, when you search for "Johnny Virgil" you get a result for "Prodigy" :con: Go figure.. |
Gee, buying search results on a P2P network won't do the artists any good if the RIAA "jams" the network, or seeds it with corrupted songs.
The RIAA is pooping its own bed. Oh well. |

however, on a more serious note, associating your music with keywords your potential fans are likely to use sounds to me like a great way to expand your audience. not to mention that p2p systems are in pretty much unique position to do such marketing, which will no doubt take even more effective forms as the technology matures. think of creating worldwide p2p communities based on musical taste, and using their help to spread the word about upcoming bands they are all likely to appreciate.... then again, i'm one of the programmers of altnet, so i'm obviously biased. i just honestly believe that the p2p networks have a much greater role to play in the future than being a "global harddrive", and altnet takes the first babysteps towards that role. - jaan |
Hi jaan, nice to have you posting here! :W:

Eww.... think of what this could evolve into... search for 'sex' in Kazaa and you get 14 pr0n popups :)
If AltNet still routes its crap through www.altnetp2p.com and www.altnet.com this is pretty easy to block though. And older Kazaa versions won't support this. (Just in case, everyone knows where to get old Kazaa versions, right?? ;)) |

also, i seem to remember that there's a hard limit on how many paid results can be added to each search, but i'm not sure. - jaan |

sure, potentially a great promotional tool but potentially counter productive, even destructive as well. it should be done with utmost care and/or it should be optional. the risk here of alienating content providing users is very high. as always, it's in the details. :) - js. |
