Kazza is a windows program. You can't run it in GNU/Linux. If you need a P2P program that works with Ubuntu, you might try: Amule http://www.amule.org/

Good luck.

Hello,

I use Ktorrent, it looks like other torrent engines, and works well with KDE.
It is available from your package manager (ie : synaptic ).

I hope this helps, if you need further information on installing packages please let us know.

brandybaby,
 to install amule please open a terminal: Application -> Accesories -> Terminal

Then, submit the follow command:

sudo apt-get install amule

This will install amule in your system. When it's installed, you can find it in Applications-> Internet -> Amule
If it's not there, in the same terminal you installed the program, type

amule

to make it run.
From then on I guess you know what to do.

If you decide to follow Jeff's advice, you should type:

sudo apt-get install ktorrent

and follow the same suggestions given up supra.

Hope this helps.

Can you help with this problem?
