The downloading habit continues to spread

“Sharman Networks, the company behind the KaZaA file-swapping service, said its software has been downloaded a staggering 230.3 million times. In an announcement this week, the company said that the KaZaA Media Desktop has become the most downloaded software, with 230,309,616 downloads worldwide. This means that the company’s freeware has overtaken the previous record-holder, ICQ, the predecessor to AOL’s Instant Messenger, as well as other all-time favourites like WinZip.” [More.]
