If you look at the page above, some guy claims to have figured out a way to increase the number of machines that kazaa searches when it does a search for any file (he calls it megasearch). This would be incredibly useful for me, as I am often looking for extremely rare files, and I am lucky when one or two people have them.

I tried thinking about how you would do something like this, but I cant quite figure it out. I dont believe it has to do with the registry keys, which is all that other kazaa exploits do (like the ones that change your participation level, simply registry editing)

If anyone can point me in the right direction, or at least suggest something, I'd be very happy. :)

I love p2p, and have a natural (no hacks) participation level of 1000. I want to give back to the community in any way possible, and I think allowing for wider searches could be one way. So if any has some ideas, toss em out here! :)

Too bad your first post had to be shameless advertising. Visit the site and you see this.



dunno bout anyone else..

but i've been doin the "megasearch" for awhile now..

its controled by the reg... and easy to force more results PER file...

i'd guess around 20 times more than normal

the 'AutoSeachMore' tool that comes with Kazaa lite++ just keeps searching for hours... works great!!!

Hey, it wasnt advertising! I am not the guy responsible for that site. There isnt any other place to link to on his rather shoddily made website where there isnt gigantic text telling you to buy it.

Thanks everynoe for the responses, I'll check it out. That would be nice if it already existed somewhere. :)
