I would like to try to make the download for Heart of Gold easier thru Kazaa using a Sig2dat file. If this works, great, if it doesn't please ignore me, I'm still figuring this out .

This is a 460 MB file that has been converted to an MPG suitable for burning to a VCD.

Sig2Dat is a program that works in conjunction with Kazaa to make it easier to find a file. By nature, Kazaa only connects to a supernode in your area (more or less) and this is why even though you know a file is out there, you can't find it. Kazaa doesn't really search thru all available users.

A Sig2Dat link makes the search more specific. Kazaa will look for a specific file. It may still take a while to locate it. This works best if you have Speedup turned on.

You will need to have Sig2dat installed as well as Kazaa or Kazaa lite or K-Lite++.

Sig2Dat available here:

Although you probably won't need to know much about it to use the links, only if you plan on creating links.

Kazaa lite++ available here:

Here is a Sig2Dat link to Heart of gold. I will post it a couple of different ways since I don't know what will work best:

HoG Weblink:

Firefly - 1x10
Heart of Gold (VCD Ready).mpg

Hog url style:
[URL="sig2dat:///|File:Firefly - 1x10 Heart of Gold (VCD
Ready).mpg|Length:471263044
Bytes,460218KB|UUHash:=ijGgE4RJlnNuMsZrPU0LH4b9ZK4=|"]Firefly - 1x10
Heart of Gold (VCD Ready).mpg[/URL]

HoG normal syle (copy the following lines and paste them into the Sig2Dat program):
[URL="sig2dat:///|File:Firefly - 1x10 Heart of Gold (VCD
Ready).mpg|Length:471263044
Bytes,460218KB|UUHash:=ijGgE4RJlnNuMsZrPU0LH4b9ZK4=|"]Firefly - 1x10
Heart of Gold (VCD Ready).mpg[/URL]

In some versions of Kazaa, the Kazaa program will have to be shut down and then restarted once the link is in you download box.

I would love some feedback on this so I can tell if it's working or not.
