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?
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.
