Are you gonna cheat?
The latest version of Kazaa gives participation points if you upload alot. That allows you to download without waiting in a queue. It's easy to circumvent this simply by uploading to yourself; are you going to?

good for you buzz! but you'll be one of the few skilled users that doesn't. this ill thought participation scheme will work against its own intent. that much is obvious. what's a little surprising is how fast it's happened. if kazaa isn't careful they could wind up like winmx with everyone in endless queues except the crooks.

this would be unfortunate for fasttrack because of the major networks its waits are the shortest and that excellent reputation, while so hard to build is also so easy to lose. - js. |

To use Intimidateds' tool you need to do two things.
Enable sharing or it won't work. Increase your bandwidth to unlimited. Not exactly common settings for a leech... |

You also need the Visual Basic (VB) 6.0
Kazaa 2.0 "Participation" hack tool Go there and click on the link "Run Time Files." That will be in the first post by Intimidated. It allowed me to use it correctly. |

New Version
There is a new version of the Kazaa Cheater.
It's available from UniteTheCows.com right now. (check the large dark red writing directing you to it!)

The best thing about this new tool is....
...it can be uninstalled. If your not a leech and never were there is no need for this kinda bloatware. |

i had a shot of the new version of this hack
I had to install kazza 2 first... and i was a "guru" in no time soon to become a "deity" hehe though i would say my use of kazza at the most 2-3 times a month will hardly qualify me as a leech... |

I found the rating system to be a total crock of shit. Even sharing with unlimited bandwidth, the rating went down significantly overnight. If people don't download from you then you don't increase your rating. I'm not going to disadvantage myself just because (A) I don't have unlimited bandwidth to share and (B) I don't have that many uploads. This rating system will be/already is a waste of time. Pretty soon everyone will be on 1000 points so it will be as though everyone is on zero again (being on even ground).

there's no need for this kind of silly system anyway. kazaa had barely any que lines before this and now i find myself getting queued more and more.
ratios kill communities. that's the way it's always been and always will be. and yes, i'm going to boost myself to 1,000 because the system is inherently flawed.

Kazaa created this system, so yeah, I'll use it to get to the front of the line with the other 'supreme beings'.
Hey, this is what happens when a system gets implemented with some sort of leach control, karma, points or whatever you want to call it. They should have never gone this route. |

i still haven't encountered anyone with very high points, and the vast majority are on 0. If there are cheats out there, they don't seem to have muscled their way into my upload slots.
i bounce around between High and Guru, playing it perfectly straight, and get good speeds; so the Ratings and Cheat don't seem to have done anything egregious to the network as I experience it. |

The participation level has yet to make any sort of a difference to the network, good or bad. |

I just installed Kazaa Lite 2, and decided to see what the "helper" would do. (I d/l both from www.k-lite.tk) I went from 0 to 1000 in less than 1 minute. That's the fastest promotion I ever got, slimeball to "Supreme Being" in less than a minute. Don't know if I will continue to use it or not. I agree that P2P users (who can) should share. If no one shared, the system could not work. There are those that can not share due to corporate firewalls. Merely sharing does not not increase your "points", folks have to download from you. This seems to encourage sharing (more) popular files. However, when more share the same file the chance that someone will download it from you goes down. The system is not very well thought out, unless the client plus the cheater is just a way to edge out other (non-Kazaa) clients.
