but the thing isnt say it isnt operational it is saying that you cant download kazaa lite anymore. and the site http://kazaalite.tk/ has been removed from the servers but i think you can still get it other places but not sure havent tryed to download it yet.

p.s. now that i read farther down the article it does say kazaa lite mite not work properly.
