I'm not sure if Kazaa Lite is really faster but it does allow songs at a greater quality than 128, which is the cap on Kazaa (so I hear and it seems to be true.)

If you are running the regular version of Kazaa: There is a .dll you can get to replace the Cydoor file (cd_clnt.dll) if you just want to run Kazaa sans spyware. However, you'll need to keep the original version of this file around also or you can't do an uninstall.

I think BDE stuff is bundled as optional software now.

You know, I could swear Cnet used to have Kazaa Lite available for download on their own site at one time. It's not even in their index server anymore now. I wonder what's up with that?
