Kazaa Lite and crossover wine
Dear All, I have installed Kazaa Lite onto the crossover wine on my Suse 8 system. The problem is that when it comes up it just sits there trying to connect forever and never connects. I have tried many solutions that I found on the net to no avail. I did not install IE onto my crossover wine. Did I need to do that for it to work? Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Marcia

Please, oh please! Don't install Internet Explorer. That's scary!!! I used Kazaa when I had windoze. I also used it exclusively by itself after dialup. There was no need for a browser. I haven't used Kazaa Lite on SuSE yet, so I may be speaking out of turn. But, IE????? There definitely should be another way.

Maybe not the exact answer you are looking for, but... why install Kazaa when you have native Linux clients that tie into the same filesharing networks? If you poke aorund on the SuSE disks you should find mldonkey in there. mldonkey connects to the eDonkey network as well as Limewire, OpenNap AudioGalaxy etc. You also have Gnutella on the disks and this ties you into Limewire, Bearshare etc. And then there is the old standby.... eDonkey2000... they provide a nice Linux client that connects you into eMule and Edonkey. So.. lots of Linux native options.. beats installing Kazaa Lite in Wine and futzing around trying to get it running. C.

Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, I agree I would rather use something in Linux and not Kazaa in wine. My brother who uses Kazaa in windows xp and knows nothing of Linux wants to share files with me directly and says I have to have Kazaa to do it with his Kazaa. If I can do it from Limewire instead that would be fine with me. I use Limewire and like it. I notice many say they cannot find what they are looking for but I have had very good luck with it so far. If I can share a file with him from limewire that he receives in Kazaa that would be great. Does anyone know if this can be done and how? Thanks Bernd for remindind me that I do not want to install IE. I came to my senses and know that I will not do that. Thanks, Marcia

Ahhhh... it becomes clearer now ;-) Well, Limewire uses the Gnutella network and Kazaa uses Fasttrack. Two different networks... You mentioned you had tried various suggestions on the web... but did you look at the info on installing Kazaalite in Wine on Frankscorner? http://frankscorner.org/kazaa_2_1.html As for the native Linux client... mldonkey connects to the Fasttrack (Kazaa) network. You could give it a try. The default interface is via a terminal window - not the nicest to look at, but it works. There are a few GUIs for it as well. Take a look at http://www.nongnu.org/mldonkey/ and you will find info about the networks it can talk to, and links to the various GUIs, and web interfaces. For those of us into filesharing via these various apps, mldonkey looks like it will be the most useful. C.

Thank you very much for your great help and suggestions. Yes, I have gone to Frank's corner for help and used it for the 1.72 version that was suggested for linux but I did not know about installing the registry. I guess I will try that. There was another page of directions if I can find them that sounded promising but I will have to look for that once again. For now I may forget Kazaa Lite and try the mldonkey. I always prefer to do everything in Linux when I can. Thanks for the great help!:) Sincerely, Marcia

But which one connects to the same network as Kazaa (or: which is the network that Kazaa connects to)? Ré

mldonkey (on the SuSE8.2 disks, or at http://www.nongnu.org/mldonkey/ ) is supposed to connect into the Fasttrack network which is the one Kazaa runs on. It also connects to pretty much every other filesharing network on the planet. Next release is supposed to allow downloading across multiple networks instead of from a single network. That should massively improve download times. C.
