Shareaza 2.5.5.0

Rated 50/50 by matt2971 at Oct 3, 2008

Free, open source, without adware or spyware, and connects to the eDonkey network, Gnutella 2 and the original Gnutella, plus BitTorrent. Downloading files are able to gather sources from all of the above at the same time. IMO the best general-use P2P program around. And yeah, their original site was hijacked by dubious people in dubious cirsumstances some time ago.

If you like spyware and your settings changed on your computer.... You should download NOT! Not the real Shareaza that we all love and have enjoyed over the years! Go check thier website ( http://shareaza.sourceforge.net ) or ( http://www.pantheraproject.net/ ) Read the bottom line Im surprised how this got on here, downloads is usually so good at not having fake programs with spyware.. They should get this program off asap! Here is a message from the REAL SHAREAZA on their site: Help Shareaza fight back! Shareaza needs your help and we need it fast. The Shareaza project, is being undermined by the same company that took our previous domain (http://www.shareaza.com/). In order to fight back, we need your assistance be it legal aid, donations, moral support, or anything else.

"i think they got the message" i think you can trust the download now i haven't had any hassles with it,so far it has worked fine. bittorrent down loads are a bit slow apart from that not too bad.

The gnutella2 protocol is the key to this program. Between that and the ed2k/kad protocols, this program is by far the best P2P I have used. The security options alone make this program worth the time spent configuring There are some other small features I would like to see, but overall shareaza is flawless if used right. The best P2P I have used. Limewire? Sucks. Morpheus? Sucks. Why settle with gnutella(limewire) when you can get gnutella, gnutella2, ed2k/kad, and torrent in one!? The only other program I use(occasionally when it decides to connect even with no firewall) is Ares. The security options of shareaza is better than any other p2p I have used other than private/encrypted ones which are an entirely different category.

Shareaza has a large variety of files thanks to it's multi-network connection protocol G2, G1, eDonkey, etc. Large quantity of peers. Extensive search filters, and informative on downloads. Extensive options, and settings. The file organization in the program is quite terrible. I believe the library is incredibly over done, and is far reaching. Simply too many folders, and subfolders, and actually makes the program more unattractive. Shareaza gives good amount of informative data on each download to make a informed decision in which download to pursue such as in quality, speed, file size, peers, etc. Overall Shareaza gets the job down.

"Works very well" It finds a good amount of files very fast and downloads them quickly also I wish there was some button to repeat a specific search and to give priority to certain files. Other than that, I'm happy with it : ) Download it. It works.

"2.4.0.0. Shareaza" Works very well. Shareaza is one of the best P2P today - It is my favorite. It contains no malware. It causes no system problems. It may have a problem with your hardware firewall, but the fix (Port Forwarding) is described well.

"good if you like bad porn" I suppose the chat feature may appeal to suicidal shut-ins it messes with your system,is slow as hell unless you can make it stop whining about firewalls,the only content is porn,and from the filenames I saw bad porn at that for people who haven't tried eMule or, better yet BitTorrent/Vuze cerberusfarmpics@goatsex.org ## hi cerberus u dick

"Thumbs up!" Nice layout, clean lines, fairly fast. perhaps a little tough to find out where its placing the files. Onec you get where things are at it is enjoyable. I've tried Limewire, Kazza and this out preforms them hands down.

"Utterly Ridiculous" None so far! This piece of crap never downloads a thing! Every file I have ever tried to retrieve just sits it pending status forever! I don't know why people give this product such a good rating because my experiences with it have been nothing less than pathetic!

"this is the best p2p program of them all!" its adware/spyware free, its finds more stuff & handles incredibly. I love this program! I can find anything with this program. Im using windows 2000 and the latest 2.4 doesnt work perfectly, so I went to their archive and downloaded 2.31 and it works great.

"Subject was a wall..." It was a good program It was a good programme but I didn't use it. Problem was a wall... I download a few songs. Because there was a wall... And I didn't use it. I created account to ''Sourge Forge''...But I didn't do anythink...So, I deleted ''Shareaza 2.5''...

"Excellent, no problems" Works smoother, with a better interface than Lime Wire. Has access to Gutella2 and eDonkey, so has a larger variety to choose from. Nothing so far. Lime Wire and MP3 rocket are dead to me!

The program is a good program, connects to 3 different P2P networks, and has large range of files. It used to be light and functional. It automatically adds your My Documents folder to share. It automatically starts hashing of your My Documents folder Buttons become non-functional because of the hashing. It AUTOMATICALLY adds your My Documents folder to the shared folder list. Why? I always had the impression the My Documents folder is a private folder with personal and work files. Nothing to be shared there... Then I try to remove it, but the hashing has already begun, and it seems to use up 100% of the CPU (Pentium 4 Prescott 3GHz). So the buttons in Shareaza become not functional (because there's no CPU left). Boy what a mess... So now I am uninstalling it and re-installing version 2.4.0.0 Version 2.5 is a disappointment

"still sucks" it uninstalled fairly smoothly, and I suppose suicidal shut-ins may like the ridiculous chat feature. boatloads of bad porn if you like tranny sex bit torrent/vuze is the file sharing utility with actual content to download, this is garbage, and its buggy to boot. program constantly whines about firewalls, and chat moderator is a gay nazi still the worst P2P utility available.^^goto:/cerberus@goatsex.org/farmpics

"It's a good program I can download my music from." I can get almost any song I'm looking for. I can't get every single song I look for in the format I want it.
