One problem (at least to firewall administrators trying to block P2P
apps) is that KazaaLite pre-populates a specific registry key that has
information containing addresses of Kazaa peers in the network.
Unfortunately, some of these peers do not run on the typical 1214/tcp
port, so simply blocking that port inbound/outbound will not stop
KazaaLite.

Good news is that the key can be emptied in order to force a rediscovery
on 1214/tcp.

The (REG_BINARY) key is located at:
        HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\KaZaA\ConnectionInfo\KazaaNet

Another thing to note is that Sharman Networks does not permit changes
to the Kazaa client and "You may be subject to legal action if you
continue to use the Kazaa Media Desktop in violation of this Licence."

Otherwise, KazaaLite is a great application... ;-)
