I lost all my files in my shared folder! I don't know what to do to get them back! I'm going crazy over here! Help

I did a system restore and all I got back were the folder names

How could this happen?! How could the uninstaller delete without asking!

Why are you still using kazaa ?

Try Poilet, WinMX, Soulseek, Blubster, Limewire instead, you're playing with fire with Kazaa.

I copy or move my files elsewhere so I can determine what I share and don't share.

I was using Kazaa Lite Ressurection.


help??!

D'you really think that the RIAA/MPAA has no idea that the other programs and networks exist?

 

[Fatalah]

What's a good one?!

I've had good experience with a very simple program called "Restoration". Try searching for "REST2514.EXE", it's very small and easy to use. Usually it helps... but if you've done a system restore, I'm not sure... As I understand it, the files are "kept" on the HD as long as the HD doesn't overwrite them. You might be lucky - or not. :8

Edit: First google link http://www3.telus.net/mikebike/RESTORATION.html . seemed to download ok, didn't open the file but that seems to be it.

I'm sure they do, but the IRAA still has to get approval from the courts to instill their spying software into a P2P software.

ANd it's pretty obvious when installing what does or doesn't have bloated ware in it.

But as much or more than anything, the IRAA seem to want to use Kazaa as a stepping stone for showing how they can slam the average person for trading mp3's more than any other right now.

In fact, now that I think about it, disregard my Blubster recomendation, I noticed they started using shitty spyware and searchbar crap in their install files last update.

Poilet rocks!!!

On a side note:

Which is odd, I'd love to see someone with the balls to challenge these asshats, and actually have legit store bought 8tracks, records, tapes or Cd's for the music they downloaded.

Besides, the songs being traded back and forth are almost always compressed lossy songs, no way should the penalty for such shitty quality ripped songs bring such a penalty.

what if i undo the system restore??

 

[IgeL]

Don't. What's done is done. Download Restoration or some other prog (to another HD or at least to a different portition) and run it. See what happens... if it doesn't find anything (try the other search method too), then undo the system restore and try again. Just my 2cents, I'm not taking any responsibilities. :8

 

[Fatalah]

everything that was recovered was misnamed..I clicked one song and it played another song.... everything's all screwed up. I guess this is goodbye

On a side note I got a call from Shaw Cable saying I was exceeding bandwith. How much does a 350 meg torrent take? Is htere a way to limit the total bandwith to be used? And I don't mean to sidetrack the thread just didn't want to start a new one or bump one up.
