Yes they are. With dial up you connect at 56K with Broadband its 512K. Which means you have a lot more room for information to come in and go out. speeds of 5 - 50 K/per sec on kazaa on broad band as appose to 0.1 - 1 K/per sec on dial up. In time to download a song say 3 meg big (3 mins long) on broad band it would take between 1 min and 8 mins to download and dialup 50 mins. with broadband start the downlaod hit play and by the time the song has finish playing normally you will have it.
Go to http://www.mykazaagold.com The quality of the music is great and the download times are very quick. It is a great source for and kind of music to download. A must for everyone.
Kazaa Platinum http://www.kazaa-platinum.com recently came into market. I bought it & I think this was the best choice I ever made.
It gives me specific results for my music & movie downloads, unlike Limewire or any other Kazaa.
It also gives a free anti virus programme , free Ipods/ Mp3 transfer software, free CD burning software free, all in just 29.50 $ one time lifetime fee.
I must say it is a revoultion in music / movies downloads.
