KaZaA + Morpheus sharing files

[Eric Lee <eleecomputers () operamail com>]

Hi everybody, I'm new here and I hope I don't step on anyone's toes.  A quick search for kazaa in the box at the top 
doesn't show anything near this.

I've found a bug in Kazaa 1.3.1 and Morpheus 1.3.  I'll refer to them as K/M.  I've found this bug to occur when the 
download directory is changed from the default "My Shared Folder" to something else.

In K/M go to Tools menu and choose Options.  Under the Downloads and uploads tab change the folder for downloaded files 
to something else, for example c:\downloads.  Now choose Find media to share... from the Tools menu and click on Folder 
List.  Click Deselect all to make sure you aren't explicitly sharing any files.

Close K/M and remove it from the tray.  Now open K/M again.

Connect to http://yourip:1214 in your web browser and you should see some files.  If you don't, try changing your 
downloaded folders location to something like c:\ or c:\windows.

Workarounds include keeping the download directory at the default My Shared Folder, using a firewall to block incoming 
requests to port 1214 and checking the box that says Disable file sharing with other Kazaa/Morpheus users in the 
Downloads and uploads tab.

I've been able to get this to work on my Win95 computer and various pals Win98, 95 computers.  I haven't been able to 
reproduce it on a Win2k Pro computer.

I hope I did this right :)
