that should fix the problem. There's a downloadable fix on their website.

Oh - looks like they moved - here's their new site - http://www.slsknet.org/
Download the new program from there (under 1mb) and install over your old one. It works just fine - no fix necessary.

The problem with kazaa is its just too easy to use now. Meanwhile for the rest of us 3llt3 users, we still have BT, Soulseek, IRC and ftp sites. Muhahahahah...

Although it is a direct cut and paste from a news site. Of course Cungar could have been the author of that article but I sincerely doubt it. Maybe a link to the site where the info was taken from would be more appropriate. Just my 2 cents

I'd say no. The media and the RIAA is trying to make it sound like a lot of people are getting hit, but the logistics state that filing lawsuits for EVERY P2P user at a rate of 7 per day, not taking days off for weekends and holidays, would take several thousand years. The odds of you getting nailed are low.
Not to mention the fact that they're not going after people that download, they're only hitting people that SHARE their files. They can't go after you for downloading, because it's too easy to get your hands on the actual CD's and say "See? I own these CD's, I just wanted MP3's of them also, which is my right."
I intend to keep using Kazaa like I always have, which is to download music that I'm curious about. If I like it, I'll go buy the CD. If I don't like it, I'll delete it. If the only good song is the radio single, and the rest is filler crap, I'll keep the song and not buy the CD. They tried to rip me off by selling me a CD of junk, so I feel no guilt in keeping the song.

The real reason that RIAA should not stop MP3
I bought "Hilary Duff" just because I downloaded a full album copy. Had I never heard it, I would have never touched it and dismissed it as Britney Spears like material. After listening once, with the intent of ranting about how bad Hilary's album was, I started to like it, a lot. So like a little girl, I went and bought it for $9.64 the day it came out. All thanks to MP3, they got one more sale.
But really, it's good considering who made it, I expected much worse.

I still get better results and faster downloads on kazaalite, although I don't like the newest version. It slows my system down. If all people are worried about is getting busted on kazaa, there are lots of ways to avoid that. As long as I get better results with it, I'll keep using it.
