My HD available space was shrinking faster than I was able to account for & I started to fear the worst: my first virus ever. But then, after inventoryng my C drive I found the answer; kazaadebug.log had grown to 315 Mb in just 10 days (8000+ entries!)

I had learned about it in a post from Harbinger, I believe. I created the log file, run Kazaa Lite for a few minutes & then analized the entries and there it was: the proof that Kazaa was tying IP addresses to user names. After I had my fun I forgot about it, because the post said that the trick only worked if you started Kazaa from its folder and not from its shortcut.
So I continued using the program from its shortcut and guess what: the log kept growing fatter & meaner.

The moral: If you created the file, have your fun & then get rid of it; & if you have it and your HD is filling faster than it should that could be the reason.
