Look for a video online (I use KaZaa) called SBJ - Lisa 01 (Walk In Clinic) and download it.  If it has anything wrong with it, feel free to kick me off TER.  What sort of provider/business should I look for for an experience like this?  Thanks for your input.

The website is streetblowjobs.com but you have to purchase a membership to watch the viddies.  I reccommend using a peer to peer sharing software (like KaZaa) to download it for free.  It's pretty cool, this dude w/a camera in his glasses pays random chicks to go down on him, and usually a lot more.

Make sure you have a spyware remover before doing that.

Or just get Kazaa Lite ++ to begin with...it has all the spyware stripped out for you

Don't forget though to run your virus protection on any file you download though before you open it

Sharman Networks, the owners of KaZaa and its network, have succeeded in killing KaZaa lite.  They contacted all of the ISPs that were hosting servers for KaZaa Lite and threatened them with prosecution under the DMCA (digital millenium copyright-protection act.)  Shut 'em down cold.  There are still users out there trying to work, but with all the supernodes shut down, it's tough.

Sharman makes all of their money via the advertising that gets sold and personal info that gets collected and re-sold thru the spyware/adware that infests their popular file-sharing system, and they were not about to let someone bypass it and cut off their revenue stream.  

That's not to say that someone else won't find a way (BitTorrent and some other alternative sharing networks, for example) but for now, KaZaa is by far the largest and most used.  It's a pretty safe bet, though, that as the backlash against malicious or unwanted crap (be it spam, virii or spy/ad/malware) continues to grow this sort network will fall out of favor.

Regardless of the minutiae of KaZaa, has anyone downloaded the video to recommend what sort of provider/business I should look for?

I don't know that KaZaa Lite ++ is dead but when someone recommended getting that film clip I did a search on my KaZaa Lite and within 5 minutes not only found it and downloaded it

And at any given time 24/7 I have up to 4 different movies downloading...in the last couple of months have gotten about 100 gigs of movies both new and old

You might be right about it's dying but it sure ain't dead yet

Kazaa lite is NOT spyware free.  I had it and was in agonizing pop up hell for months.  No spyware remover was able to clean things up to an acceptable level. In fact, many of the free spyware removers are actually spyware INSTALLERS!!  Pretty clever of those folks huh.

I finally had to reformat my pc (upgrade to XP was worthwhile though).
