Kazaa on it's Knees? - P2P-Zone

nickroberts · 20-05-02, 12:31 PM

I've noticed that today Kazaa has been having problems. All afternoon the headcount is only 300,000.

In the morning...everyone evaporated several times too?

What's going on this time? Is Altnet responsible?

It the network somehow imploding?

This happened last week too but it bounced back. Actually I find the network working better than ever when it has the normal number of users.
btw iMesh is also way down.

Seems to be back again, at least on grockster.

BTW, I do share, but Grockster doesn't think so while it's hashing files, does it?

my numbers are similiar to ssj4_android's

Dr.Damn of zeropaid thinks the counters results are tampered with anyway by the Network to make you think there are more users online than there actually are.

Morpheus did this trick when they first came out to lure people to their openap servers right about the time they were switching over to the fasttrack clients and moving away from the opennap servers

Probably the lower numbers are the more accurate ones

heres my 0.02 cents:

Slowing of certain areas of the ol'fast track network can also be attributed to the slow response of users to ensuring AV software is up todate and that they are not effected with the Benjamin trojan.

As a variant of the orignal worm, it was designed to clogg up the fast track network.

This is called netsplit where parts of the networks lose connection. It happends on IRC time to time too and it used to be quite common in Kazaa in early days when it was quite common that you connected with small subnetwork with only few thousand users online. Nowadays it is happening very seldom
