Grokster/Morpheus/Kazaa[lite] all use the same basic protocol.
Gnutella/BearShare/Limewire are yet another.
eDonkey/BitTorrent/DirectConnect use still others.

Yes, kudos to KazaaLite, and if it doesn't include the privacy
enhancement fix, drop me a line for it.  Kazaalite has all the adware
and spyware hacked out of it, and you should set to "not share your
files" to keep the nosy lawyers out, plus the privacy patch.

Ad-Aware is good, and Spybot Search and Destroy is a bit better,
especially when used in combination.  SSD can be obtained from:

Both are freebies.
