Kazaa Lite Blocks AP Traffic
 

Today I installed Kazaa Lite version 2.0 and the new version
installs a host file onto windows computers which basically
reroutes traffic so that it will block ads that Kazaa might
display. However it seems to block much more then Kazaa ads.

After failing to get to the stats area for AP I did some
investigating and found that one of the lines in the host file that
Kazaa Lite installs is this:

127.0.0.1 ctc.amateurpages.com

I am not sure how many potential customers use Kazaa Lite but the ones who install it will not be able to reach AP. If many people use Kazaa Lite this could definetely influence the amount of traffic we send to AP.

More info on GFY (if this link won't be blocked) here:

With the death of many of the other programs, I think kazaa lite will become increasingly popular.

Thats pretty interesting. Look slike gfy is broken and cant get to that link.

I think the large majority of kazaa users use the regular version of the prog and not the lite one. With that said it kind of pisses me off that KazaaLite blocks things that have absolutely no affiliation with the scumbags that run Kazaa. Sextracker et al don't even advertise with them do they?

Really? Works fine for me.

Could you please show me where i can find my host file,

i once had kazza but after a few weeks i felt it was a waste of time trying to download the matrix so i removed kazza, but i would like to please know where on my pc would i find my host file so i can check that everything is back to normal.

Thank you and I look forward in your reply

If you can't find it search your windows folder for the file "hosts"

On NT system it's located in:

c:\winnt\system32\dns\etc

I guess on other Win comps it's in:

c:\windows\system32\dns\etc

okay i think the program i got was the full one for kazza, but i did uninstall it and my host file is

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

My Kazaa is deleted, sorry. Check the GFY thread, I think they explain it in there.

Does no one else notice that machoman copied that post word for word from GFY??

I mean, it was someone else's post... back in November... and he copied it and went and posted it as his own on EVERY single board in the business.

He does it on a daily basis. Expect another one today.... copied from an old post... posted here along with every other board.

Oh, and you'll also notice... machoman never returns to the board a second time in the day... he makes the one post and disappears until the next day.

I've been tracking it for a bit. At first I didn't care much, but now I see it for what it is... creative spam. He is simply getting his sig viewed as much as possible on all boards with no desire what so ever to get involved with any of the boards or get to know anyone.

and he's stealing old posts to get his sig out there.

You are 100% correct. I never noticed that myself... how stupid :bonk:

Machoman is a bot. :eek:

Does that make StuartD the anitBot? :D
