for as much as people who don't use kazaa seem to think it's a freeloaders dream and is an eazy way out for surfers, it's really not that great. i would say 70% of transfers you try and initiate don't actually work, most of them sit on 'remotely queued' and 'connecting' and whatever forever. most of the files you do actually manage to transfer are slooooow. if you get a 20KB/s transfer you're praising jesus. this goes for any type of file, movies, mp3s, pdfs (e-books), etc. it really sucks. same way with the gnutella clients. nothing has come even close to touching napster since it croaked. i'm sure we'll see more and more stuff liek this as peoples options dwindle:
