Audiogalaxy Shutdown?

[Sydog]

Anyone tried using audiogalaxy sattelite lately, I tried doing a search but everything has a cross on it.

[whetu]

ding dong the witch is dead, which old witch? the AG witch!

the RIAA got them in the ass in the courts. AG is now blocking copyrighted material.

tough sh*t dood.. time for something better.. like kazaalite ;)

[Sydog]

yeah Kazaalite, I really like 0.003kb/s transfer speeds

[Gh0s7 L3mUr]

Kazaalite rocks :D

My Dialup connection sux :(

[Daza]

Your dialup connection is faster then my ADSL for kazza

[mird-OC]

i very rarely ever get less than 2.0K/sec off kazaalite, which is fine for me... mostly around 4.5K/sec - 5.0K/sec.

yeah dialup sucks, but a nice man from telstraclear came to see me this evening and i found out i can get 128K cable for only $10 more than what i'm paying now. swede.

[Antallica]

KazaaLite is the best, always able to connect, 5k downloads, etc. It's better than everything else, preddy much.

much better than Kazaa

[Sydog]

I did get good speeds off of Kazaa and Kazaalite, then I got Jetstart and those speeds went to sh1t. Of course I never dled anything but movies off it, Ag sattelite owned for songs.

try gnutella (limewire.com) and change the port in the settings. It should bypass any throttling the ISP is doing by making it look like something other than a p2p program :)

make sure u run adaware after installing it though....

they're running some deals at the moment to attract new customers.

my current monthy telecom (line rental + services) and sky (digital basic + movies & movies max) currently sets me back $98 per month. i also pay $20 for flatrate internet thru snap. $118 total.

T/C offer almost the exact same services (including sky movies & movies max) for $78 per month. i can still pay $20/mo for internet thru snap or add T/C 128K cable internet for $51 per month including modem rental. $129 total.

nice. i might even just drop movies & movies max (coz they've been really crap recently) and it actually costs me almost $10 less than what i'm paying now! :D

cable install is $99 tho but since i don't have to buy a modem that's still a whole lot better than jetstart was gonna cost me.

[Antallica]

real shame they can't offer cheap 128kb/s connections to rival telecom. say about $35-40 in total for like no cap. argh when is this country gonna get with the times and stop livin in the 56k past.

[Sydog]

Reason it is so dear and we all have international caps is cuz most traffic u want is international, so it costs Telecom alot for the bandwidth. In say America most of the bandwidth is national and cuz national costs isp's less then they can get cheap dsl and never go over a say 2gb cap on int traffic. We could be getting more Int traffic than someone in America but the difference is that we are more likely to go over the cap than them

Stop your b1tching and download WinMX 3.2, AudioGalaxy was full of ghey spyware ... plus WinMX is the hell fast .. and im on 56K via Xtra

[Antallica]

Well 56k is gonna have to be phased out sooner or later, and we 'aint all rich, especially me.

I hear ya man but I can never find anything on WinMX these days.

16kb's on Xtra 56k!! hahaha I'm sure it dropped sown to like 5.5kb/s. I get 6kb/s on WinMX most of the time

[Joshsti_NZ]

If Xtra pahsed out 56K in the next 2-3 years in favour of broadband access they better get thier act together and bring that unlimited J-Start back, hell i was about to get that setup, i had my Nokia PCI card DSL thinger, and two days before the guy came round to set it all up they announced the friggin cap, b4stards. :(

[Joshsti_NZ]

*cough*

Yes it did drop back dooown, but it continually kept shooting back for a few seconds lol ..

[Joshsti_NZ]

WinMX isnt no KaZaa for finding stuff, especially NZ music, but theres still one hell of alot of songs around .. even more so after V3 came out.

[matthew]

AG was much much much better than all other p2p app's when it came to finding rare songs. If you are looking for the average joe public top40 then others are great but go outside the norm and you'll have a hard time.....

Do you remember when AG was just starting... it was good even back then.. of course after napster went down it got soooo much better... and now we a similar thing thing happening....... AG got greedy > started advertising more > installing spyware and "gold account" bull****.. and now they pay..... hopefully everyone will move to kazaalite and the music range will grow and be nice again......+ i always hated that i could'nt listen to a track while downloading in AG.......

kazaa is faster... has the nice features of most p2p proggies and old napster... (even though it is ugly as sh+T) and hopefully soon it will have the broad selection of AG too! :p

[Sydog]

Didn't you know you could open temp files in wmp, I just set file extension .temp to play in Media player and i was away.

This was especially handy when looking for a song and not knowing the exact name of it

[matthew]

Didn't you know you could open temp files in wmp


certainly did'nt work for me? win98+media player 6.4 :confused:

i just used to remove the .temp file extension and then play, only prob was that i had to quit AG to do this :rolleyes:

[Antallica]

ahh use good old copy and paste my friend. goto the temp file, copy it then paste to your desktop, rename it and you all set :D

[matthew]

haha :o sh_t! can't believe i did'nt think of that ...wish i'd thought of it well i was still using AG .. oh well...

still... you agree either way it requires more work than clicking ze play button in kazaalite huh ...... :p

[Antallica]

hehe my kazaalite ver is mostly in german, got it off some german site (of course). all the mirrors were down at the time and I really needed kazaalite hehe ... ahh good old google :D

[Grrr!!]

Kazaa is being sued by the RIAA to, it's questionable how long it'll live :(.

[Genesis]

pfft kaaza lite is teh sux - got for teh l33t r0x0r j00r b0x0r iMesh!
15-20.0kbs on 128k :P

[shag]

I've found limewire prety good. There seems to be a lot more higher bitrate mp3's there than with kaza lite

[Sydog]

I'm getting withdrawal symptoms from not using ag sattelite. Well no i aint but I hope some other place comes up with something like that it kicked ass
