I've been looking for that for ages, and it seems everyone agrees that the only way to run kazaa on linux is to run wine. Tried.. Not a painless process, but I got it working after about 40 hours of trying and failing..

giFT has a fasttrack plugin (hence the FT) that will allow you to access the Kazaa Network.

And there is a search button in the uper right of this site, this topic has been discussed ad nauseum, so searching the forum would most definitly help you.

pySLSK

I ran soulseek on windows because you get music and music alone. pySLSK is a reamke, but for linux, its the same essential thing.

You can run kazaa lite with wine emulation, but you'l need to be root to run it.
I would suggest mldonkey. It's the best p2p in my opinion. It can hook up to fast track, soulseek, bit torrent, donkey and more.

pyslsk is not Kazaa though and gets a completely different network-- a lot less mainstream stuff, more good stuff.

To the original poster: I've found the easiest way to access Kazaa's network is mlDonkey.

For very very good instructions, see this page: http://www.fil.fol.it/cl/p2p.html

If you're a newbie, as your sig suggests, then I would suggest that you don't try to get kazaa working under wine. If you want to access the kazaa network, then use something like giFT, it's a *lot* less painless, especially for a newb

They make some pretty good gnutella clients. I use Phex, and found that Limewire was pretty good too.

Xmule is good donkey client to linux and mldonkey is another. I use Xmule and it's as good as Emule.
