Even if Moo3 was unplayable, typically there would be enough people looking for it that at least someone would pirate it. I'm brand new to P2P networks such as Kazaa. But I think they use some sort of ranking so that people who have UP-loaded lots of stuff can get faster downloads somehow. I think...

The latest Version of Kazaa (only) has a sort of 'exchange ratio' rating, yes. But other clients which can use the same network do not. So it's only Kazaa Users who stick with the latest thing who are currently limited. I guess as new features are added the old client will be less attractive and people will start to get sucked into the participation control system. Of course, if you just recently joined up you probably downloaded the 'latest' one, like me...

But I've got a pretty hefty 'erotic images' collection, so I can get plenty of credit by just leaving my system Online. I've hit 1000 (the max) credit/rank more than once in the past couple of months. Even with my current rating of 800+ I don't see anything but the MOO 3 'demo' that that stoopid Australian IG exec gave to a magazine Last year. I have been searching every day for the past week. That says to me that it isn't out there yet. I expect it will show up in a few days though. But it'll be a 600+ MB CD image, a bit large for 56k connections. I'll probably wait for the patches and then actually buy it -- if the word-of-mouth is not too ugly and the patches improve on the commonly reported faults.
