#1 Glazzy and DSL Access Speeds

As Myk pointed out its usually the server your connecting thats slow, either because its heavily loaded or its throttling your bandwidth.
But your speed can be directly affected by the number of users that are connecting into your local DSL switch. The max users per switch should be 50 users. If all 50 users are online then you will experience service degradation. Before signing up to any ADSL deal you should check the max amount of users who share your local DSL hub.
Another key factor is the distance you are from a Network Access Point (NAP). Many people get connections from companies that are several levels away from the Internet backbone. This is another issue you should check. For example... I start an ISP and offer cheap ADSL services.... I get my connections provided by Joe Bloggs ISP, who in turn gets his from BT Internet, who is provided NAP access via UUNET.
My ISP is quite far back from the NAP access point and that will affect my service.
If anyone wants a more detailed explanation or a list of questions to ask then PM me or reply to this thread.
#2 Kazaa Lite
Kazaa Lite still contains spyware... the way to tell is via the colour of the icon that appears in the top left within the Title bar. If this icon is red then you are spyware free.
If anyone wants a completely cleaned version of kazza then PM and you can d/l from my ftp server.
#3 Internet movies
Kazaa / e-donkey are OK sources for movies but there are some excellent channels on IRC that provide movies via fservers. Get your self an IRC client such as mIRC (
http://www.mirc.co.uk ) and connect to Dalnet or EFNet.
Once connected use the '/list' command to find channels offering warez. movies, etc.
Don't ask for help in these channels as they will just ignore you and make you feel like an 8 year old.
Here's a couple of tutorials that will help with fservers
