It must have certainly happened to you that you were desperately searching for free downloads and ended up with something seriously unsatisfactory . You woundn’t need to a run from pillar to post for free downloads anymore. You get to download anything and everything be it songs, mp3s, videos, games,other documents and softwares, all under one umbrella with the help of Kazaa Media Desktop(KMD).
It works this way…eg: Deepak downloads KMD and installs it onto his computer. Kartik also has KMD installed on her computer. Deepak uses KMD to search for a song he is looking for. KMD finds the song on Kartik’s computer. Deepak can now download the song directly from Kartik. This is called Peer-to-Peer or P2P tecnology.(If this looks complicated …don’t bother…continue.)
All you need to do is install Kazaa Media Desktop(KMD) and it will connect you to other users. You can do it from this link https://kazaa.com/us/index.htm .
There are nearly 4 million such deepaks and kartiks online sharing more than six hundred million files(!) and getting the benefits of kazaa. Today downloading songs one of my vices. Why shouldn’t you be one of them?
Pros.
1) It is for free.
2) User-friendly.
3) You get to choose the quality of the file…files would have been rated excellent in case of good quality.
4) Improved built-in virus protection:Your kazza software comprises BullGuard P2P software which is specially designed to quarantine and delete dangerous files from other P2P users.
5) If you want to turn off the computer in case of an emergency while the file is being loaded, you can pause the download.
6) The next time you have time for that you can resume it without hassles.
7) You get to communicate with the users incase of a problem.
Cons.
1) Participation Level
Kazaa users who share and frequently the files are rewarded with higher priority in download queues. In that case of low participation level your request for uploading the file could be rejected by the user.
2) If the user( from whom you are down loading the file) goes offline, kazaa will search more sources for you. But there are possibilities of falling short of sources. Your download may be held up in that case.
There are possibilities of not getting a file you want, if your need is a rarity.
It is really a must-visit website.
And a must-use software .
Neither do I know the history of this tecnology nor I have gone any technical in this review since I am a layperson myself. I caught sight of this wonderful thing. So I wanted to share my views with you-all.
Happy downloading
Bye.
