Kazaa Media Desktop: Setting
built 628 days ago
For over a year now many in the internet community have been concerned about a number of KaZaa's partnership add-on components which are included within KaZaa Media Desktop software. KaZaa has partnered with several high powered, and in our opinion unethical advertising & marketing firms such as DoubleClick which has been the subject of a lot of controversy as well as litigation for violating consumer privacy (see our News Archives) as well as eZula's TopText which is profiting from a specialized Internet Explorer plug-in which can transform informational web text & hyperlinks into competitor links within unsuspecting web sites. These plug-ins will allow individuals browsing a web site to view unauthorized advertising hotlinks which are broadcasted to the infected browsers of consumers all over the world. eZula has been cashing in by selling key words and phrases on a large scale and profiting from the click through rates.
From the Kazaa© Media Desktop Options control panel select the "Advanced" tab. The second setting controls the maximum bandwidth in kilobits. Change the setting to read "32", this roughly equivalent to a dial-up telephone connection. This does NOT affect your download speed.
