KaZaA updated to version 1.4

December 9, 2001

KaZaA, the widely used filesharing software from Fasttrack has been updated to version 1.4. This release fixes some bugs and has some new - not so intresting - features.

It is very likely that the developers of Kazaa have build in a function so the network can live byitself, and does not need any central server. As you might have read KaZaA is the next in line to be shut down by the authorities.
