Get multiple profiles on Grokster and Kazaa
 

I don't know if anyone wants this but nonetheless here it is.;)

Hi,

just out of curiosity, I followed the link and saw a mention of Fileshare (http://www.fileshare.co.uk). It seems that this is the ominous client that gives us the ???@fileshare users on FastTrack. The site says that it's still under testing, so maybe it's a beta version or something being used.

So, it's not iMesh after all?

if you have imesh, or know someone has it running you could try the following with telnet:

telnet
IP: 127.0.0.1 or Host IP
Port: 1214

if connected, type
GET<cr>

it will tell you the Kazaa Networkname

indy

Thanx napho, I was going to mention that kazaanet entry but a picture is much better. And if you select the Client key about half way down the page is the kazaa "network_config" string - which appears to be the same as in my Grokster settings.

Indy and I can now confirm that user@fileshare is from iMesh.

Here is a link to a thread in the KaZaA Forum @ Zeropaid where I explained what we discovered.

I don't know. Isn't @fileshare @fileshare ?


There are a number of client applications available which use the same FastTrack architecture:

Kazaa
- www.kazaa.com
Grokster
- www.grokster.com
Fileshare
- www.fileshare.co.uk
(not yet available - currently undergoing testing)
Morpheus
- Morpheus is no longer using the FastTrack architecture.

I was downloading with iMesh - indy was using Grokster - My username showed up in his uploads as buzzb2k@fileshare...

As far as I know I'm not beta-testing any fileshare.co.uk product.

Buzz,

I still find it odd why iMesh would opt to show up as user@fileshare and not user@imesh or something. Maybe they fear being next-in-line to be sued by the RIAA when they are through with Morpheus and are hoping that this would lead the RIAA into sueing someone else...?

And how does fileshare.co.uk fit in to this?

At least some of the mystique behind the fileshare users has now been taken...

Anyone else notice that the "fileshare" site linked above lists only a few specific file types and makes no claims of using it for "almost any file type." they conspicuously leave off video file formats for one...
are they trying to skirt copyright issues? (but they include mp3)
