Kazaa Lite (sometimes called 'K-Lite') is a Peer-to-Peer File Sharing
application that does not contain any 'Spyware'. In actual fact, it
is a modified version of the very popular Kazaa Media Desktop (often
called the 'Original Kazaa' or 'KMD'), which is made by Sharman Networks.
Both programs are very similar, with almost identical features and appearance.
The main difference is that Kazaa Lite has been modified so that it
does not have any of the so-called 'Spyware' and 'Adware' that comes
with the Original Kazaa.
Kazaa Lite provides sharing of all kinds of media and software. It
is a 'FastTrack' Client, which means it connects to the FastTrack P2P
network system, just like some other popular file sharing programs like
Kazaa, Grokster and iMesh. (And in the past also Morpheus, which now
only connects to the Gnuttella network)
Kazaa Lite can download single files from multiple users to ensure
you get the most efficient
use of your bandwidth. They also resumes broken downloads or downloads
that were in
progress when you shut down your computer last. All-in-all, FastTrack
is a very good, very powerful P2P system.
The authors of Kazaa Lite were concerned about the fact that the Original
Kazaa contained unwanted third party software and wanted to be able
to use it without that software. So a
cleaned up version was made: Kazaa Lite!
Kazaa Lite is not a different program, it's the same program, just
without all the additional software. We don't have any source code of
the program. That makes is almost impossible to make big changes to
the program or add new features. Nevertheless, we did succeed in making
big improvements to the program by modifying some of it's machine-code,
adding plugins and external utilities.
