   Reviewing 2.5.2.0 (Feb 8, 2010)

   No question, the application is very well done and everything but 'out of development'. For functionality, the work on it, the highly motivated team, which go on working on the project - although hit by severe backstrokes of corrupt 'team' members in the past I give a clear * * * * *.
   
   But... in times, when more and more people I know are sued by so called 'copyright owners' I will use Shareaza in the foreseeable future only for very few items like some Linux files.
   
   Moreover I'll wait for applications like Mute and Kommute. As long as no such software is available, file sharing is dead to me. Folks, I don't waste my hard earned money to sponsor a sick system of information prohibition, so called 'intellectual ownership' and all those < v u l t u r e s > who make their profit relying on them.
   As long as people are stupid enough to pay 1 € for a piece of music in mp3 (which is - BTW - everything but the quality of a CD... and therefore significantly more expensive, not to say daylight robbery) this situation will become more and more extreme.
   The only solution is to boycot all those one, who do their best to escalate the actual situation. I'm no media junkie and I < c a n > live without something, which is simply used to rake in money. And the best thing: Most of those 'artists' seem to forget, that 'art' isn't derived from < a r t i f i c i a l > and doesn't exist simply to make them 'rich'.
   
   So once again a * * * * * for Shareaza and a censored comment to you VULTURES!

   Out of development indeed! You should be banned from writing reviews until you get get your facts straight.

   This is the best P2P program out there at the moment. Has all the features you could possibly need. No Java required, a big plus. The GUI is a little busy, and that's my only complaint, just a minor one. Too bad this program is out of development. I suggest contacting the developer and encouraging him to continue development. Rating: 4.5/5

   This is what I use now, don't have to install multiple clients and open ports for each of them, one port open for all networks and torrents, emule all work fine. Good interface as well and loads fast and connects fast. The site listed at Betanews is fine, when you click downloads it takes you to the Sourceforge site.

   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.
