I hate Kazaa. It's become the new Napster and everyone in the house uses it. The problem with that? Whenever it tries to multi-source download something it KILLS the internet connection for everyone. The beauty of this is that there is NO way to disable this. It only counts the number of files being downloaded NOT the number of connections it opens. So even setting this to 1 has no effect.

Cox Cable sucks as it is (it's slower in my town then every other surrouding one by at least half) but once those downloads start up no matter what speed they're getting the rest go to crap.

Example: My brother turns it on to get a skate video. He's getting about 30 KB/sec spread over 10 connections, which isn't near the max speed of the pipe. I get on a server to download something I normally get over 100KB/sec to and get ... 1KB/sec!!! That's right, 1/100th the speed I normally get. It also kills the connection to battle.net, normally have pings in the 50-100 range they soar to the 3000-5000 range when Kazaa is downloading.

Ass, just complete and utter ass.

For those that have been looking ... here's the background music from the Panzer Dragoon Orta Commercial.

Bones Domingo - Violet (8.39MB)

If you like the song I'd strongly suggest getting the CD, it's extremely cheap (or rather I should say isn't nearly as expensive as most CDs) and worth getting. Just go here. I'm sure you can find it ;)
