Reuters reports that the peer-to-peer file-sharing software is now the most popular free program on the Net. Last Friday, Kazaa dished out about 230 million downloads -- good enough to beat out ICQ instant messaging, which would be the equivalent of Clay Aiken ("Idol's" runner-up). An average of 366,000 freeloaders have been downloading Kazaa daily, according to those with the lowdown on such things -- Download.com.
