Originally, KCeasy included the giFT-FastTrack plugin, to connect to the network used by Kazaa and Kazaa Lite. FastTrack is a Peer-to-peer (P2P protocol, used by the Kazaa (and variants Grokster and IMesh) File sharing programs Kazaa Media Desktop (once capitalized as " KaZaA " but now usually written " Kazaa " is a Peer-to-peer File sharing application Kazaa Lite is a Peer-to-peer file-sharing Computer program. The service is an unauthorized modification of the Kazaa Media Desktop (KMD application In April 2004, Kazaa copyright holders Sharman Networks threatened legal action against Markus Kern, the German author of KCeasy. Sharman Networks is a company headquartered in Australia and incorporated in Vanuatu. Even though Kern maintains that reverse engineering of protocols for interoperability is legal under German law, he removed the giFT-FastTrack plug-in in KCeasy version 0. Reverse engineering (RE is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device object or system through analysis of its structure function and operation 12 (released 17 April 2004) to avoid a legal fight. The plug-in is still developed and available from a third-party website. Upgrading from previous versions of the software will not remove the giFT-FastTrack plug-in.

A new Ares plugin for giFT was launched early March 2006 that supports the new Ares protocol for better connection. This new plugin is included by default in the latest version of KCeasy (0. 18 released).

The latest version, KCeasy 0. 19-rc1, was released on 03-02-2008. The author of the software indicated that he is unlikely to develop it further.
