KaZaA now prompting upgrade
As always, Sharman Networks finds a way to catch up with the users of its software. The release of KaZaA Media Desktop 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 appeared to have no new changes except for patching up participation level cheating and blocking many features of Diet Kaza. Well now, users running KMD are being prompted to upgrade to 2.0.2, if they haven't done so already.
Right now, supernodes running KMD 2.0.2 are sending out messages telling other nodes/supernodes on the network to upgrade. Although KMD 2.0 and older clients can still connect to v2.0.2 ones, there is a possibiliy that we will see these being blocked out of the network, thus mimicking the past demise of 1.3 fasttrack clients (morpheus ...).
A lot of things go on behind Kazaa users' back. But the users are now responding. An open-source program called Epidemic/RapidRoad is now in development, which could potentially turn control of the network back to the users.
