After downloading many avi amd mpeg files in Kazaa I went to the c:\Program Files\Kazaa\Shared folder ,and noticed that along with all the downloaded files I had many .dat files. I figured that I could free up some hard drive space so I tried to delete them but could not, it said "cannot delete download it is being used by another person or program". What are the data fils and are they improtant? Can I delete them.

it's only temporary files of current downloads. When your download is finished, kazaa convert the .dat file to the file you've downloaded. So if you absolutely want to delete them, cancel your download in the Transfer tab in Kazaa.
 
some people change the extension of movies to DAT
it's a good thing to check if it's the movie/ song/ applz you want..change the extension..or try open it with media player.
 
kazaa files have very unusual names. so files named like kazaa023805983620387.dat are very hard to confuse with a song/app/movie name :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
