echobikes Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 So yeh as the topic title says, kazaa and ares have randomly stopped connecting. Currently using kerio personal firewall, i turned it off to see if that was the problem but apparently not. Does anyone have any ideas?

holroyd-wanna-be Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I use Win mx and it connects but alot of the music that comes out today doesnt download but old songs do. Apparently the police are closing down on the programmes like Win mx and kazaa to stop them being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikenipple Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Are you running on a proxy, or have you changed any proxy settings in the applications? Proxies are a pain in the arse to get working with alot of connections, so if you have a proxy try connecting to the net via other means.

I'll look into it cheers guys. Edit: No we don't run on a proxy... Any more suggestions welcome.

Jimbo Limbo (Trials Chimp) Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 My Ares stoped connecting, apparently the solution is to re-install the program, I'm too lazy to bother, but it sounds like it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echobikes Posted April 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Good idea didn't think of that... Will give it a try :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Spybot or Adaware probably removed some of the shit that comes with the program, reinstalling the program should get it working, along with the adware/spyware that comes with it. Hooray! Kazaa Lite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
