Kazaa VS LimeWire
13. Conclusion
Well, is it the Kazaa or the LimeWire? After a lot of really hard work and testing, it is difficult to tell. The Kazaa achieved a really high marking scheme in most of the parts but always missed 10 points votes except for the downloading part. The reason in most of the cases can be traced down to its adware. The LimeWire achieved more 10 point votes than the Kazaa in most of the parts due to its simplicity. There is a big differentiation in votes connected with installation and the interface parts, in which the LimeWire received 10 point votes.
The software, along with searching and downloading, were equally appreciated with the Kazaa being slightly ahead, especially in the downloading part. Most of the time the Kazaa was found to be slower than the LimeWire while searching, while it was more efficient in relation to the number of results despite its restricted limit in searching. Downloading is almost the same in both software, with Kazaa receiving its only one 10-point vote. The Kazaa is also very good at both audio and video searching, whereas the LimeWire is better at software and document searching.
Since most users use p2p to accomplish audio downloading, we can say that both programs are doing very well in this domain. As for video downloading the Kazaa is somewhat better than the LimeWire, while on the other hand the LimeWire allows users to view the type of the internet connection they have been using, letting them at the same time assess the downloading possibilities of large video files more efficiently. In addition, if one wishes to uninstall the Kazaa they will have to go to the Windows control panel to remove the software. On the other hand, the LimeWire has an "Uninstall" option in its program folder.
Only for reasons of objectivity, and relying solely on the point votes of this review, we can conclude that the LimeWire is the winner with an average of 9.3 points. The Kazaa gets an average of 8.4, the reason for such a marking scheme lying mostly in the Adware. -
