- Better than Kazaa?
- Posted by SR on October 26th, 2003
I received the following email
http://www.247downloads.com/promo4/access.php
and wonder whether this is true. According to this enterprise, the number of
online users is very close to 14,000,000. That's 4 to 5 times that of
Kazaa...
If this is true, it might be well worth to join this 1.99$/month goodie.
Has anybody experience with it?
SR

Is it a software you can download or directly from IE?

it's bullshit.
keep refreshing the no. of users online and you'll notice that it's the same
numbers repeating themselves. If that part is a gimmick, I'm sure the rest
is too.

That much more widely used than Kazaa, and you're just now hearing about
it? Think about it.

Well, it's hard to get an innocent question across since there are always a
few cranky ones who are still at large.
If I was a spammer, why would I ask about other users opinions? I was
smelling a rat, and anybody else has has verified that by now.
And now you may beat it yourself....

No, not at all... but how does one ask a question without being regarded a
spammer? Anybody who reads the thread would be out of mind to spend a single
dime on these scam artists. If I was really behind this enterprise, I would
have bragged about my success with numerous fast and successful downloads,
something I could not achieve with Kazaa and other P2P software packages...
Besides, there was only one person accusing me, while eight others provided
useful comments.

I've been using a program that seems pretty good. Granted, it's
basically Kaaza.... Shareaza.... The main difference between it and
Kaaza is no fees, and it connects to GNUtella (Morpheus) and Edonkey
file servers.... It also has a BitTorentCoupling Network or something
for the protocol, but I like it for the fact that you can connect to
more networks than your basic Kaaza light, as far as I know of....

Aaaahhh... this sounds familiar! I have come across these lines myself
before. I'll use a more careful style next time, but so can a real spammers.

To all who are curious...I have 'acquired' a login to this site, so I
could see what it was about.
here's the specifics if you want to look for yourself:
Username: revelated@centralpets.com
Password: mp3qhx1821
Basically...it's illegal. HIGHLY illegal. It's a program that sniffs
out IPs through ranges, and then illegally backdoor accesses people's
computers who unknowingly have File Sharing enabled, thus essentially
stealing files from other people's computers. Of course, if the other
person has a firewall and sees your intrusion attempt, they can report
you to your ISP...and backdoor intrusion *IS* against the law. Sure,
it does allow almost limitless possibilities...but it's not reputable
at all. It'll ask you to download a .msi file...dangerous in itself,
considering that could destroy your computer if ran...but beyond that,
using it is against your TOS of your ISP. If you dare, go right
ahead. I haven't and won't run it, but it even tells you in the
instructions of its illegal activites, and preys on the ignorant who
don't know exactly what's happening.

As for the rest of your argument, maybe you aught to open your eyes
about what is really happening in your PC, if you agree to install
software without checking it out (many people do) then you/they
deserve whatever happens should treat the results as a learning
experience when it all comes apart around their ears.
