here is the news I found on zeropaid.com.
KAZAA LITE SHUTS DOWN!!
In an attempt to stop all the "k-lite is gone, the world has ended" threads, I'll try to explain what I know about K-lite. Contrary to what you've heard, development has not really stopped. K-lite will never be as popular as it once was, and the development will most likely not be done by the same guys, but it will NOT be going away.
All the original kazaa lite sites, like k-lite.tk, doa2.host.sk, kazaalite.tk, etc, now have NO REFFERENCE to kazaa lite. The main file download mirror by edskes has had K-lite removed. These will almost certainly NOT be back, so just remove them from your bookmarks.
http://kppfree.narod.ru/kdown.htm This is the new link for now. NOTE: This is a new link, the old website was removed from the host. Please update your bookmarks.It will provide you with all your update needs, including the original installer (there are still many mirrors working). On this website there is an update utility. It will update Kazaa lite 2.4.3 with the latest tools and updates. So unless they ban the 2.0.2 and earlier clients from the network, Kazaa lite will allways work and will ALLWAYS be updated.
I will ask the developers to come over here and answer any questions you may have. If they don't want to, I'll try to keep in contact with them and get your answers.
There is also talk about a clean Kazaa 2.6, using the K++ core. I haven't confirmed this, but I can give you the link to the Slyck forum where its being discussed. (
http://www.slyck.com/forums/viewtop...r=asc&start=120 ). If the download site is down, try searching for it on the kazaa network.
I would like to mention that a version of Kazaa 2.6 is being worked on by several people. It would not include spyware, but might not have all the K-lite tools.
If you for some reason cannot get K-lite 2.4.3 to work, or want to use KMD 2.6 for some reason, you can try
http://www.dietk.com . It should remove all spyware and give you some more advanced features than KMD. Unfortunately, K-lite still has better tools, but this will allow you to use Kazaa without the crap.
Please, if you have a copy of k-lite still, SHARE IT. If nobody shares it, this software will eventually go away.
One last thing. The K-lite codec pack is still available for download. I'm not sure if development will continue, but I'll try to find out. Codec pack can be found at

A good info site on K-lite.
