if torrents and soulseek were never invented, and i still believed the gnutella network wasnt dead in the water, this would definitely be my filesharing app of choice.

any step away from java is a step in the right direction.

No nags with those damn moving buttons like two other programs have, even if they are supposed to be freeware. Cabos is clean, efficient and just plain awesome. If only I could give it a ten!

bobad reviewed v0.7.6 on Jan 4, 2008

Not bad. I like the minimalist approach, and the adequate set of options.

My only wish, for now, is that the filter could be set to "Music" (or whatever you choose) by default. Rates a solid 4.5.

war593122 reviewed v0.7.6 on Jan 4, 2008

Cool application, but there are only 4 networks, so not very useful. This is after forwarding ports in router and opening firewall, I confirmed port is open so nothing blocking it and I can download fine.

Would be nice if you could minimize to system tray without having to use third party applications.

oRoFLash reviewed v0.7.5 on Dec 28, 2007

Excellent! Best file sharing program. Very stable and fast!

ModderXManiac reviewed v0.7.5 on Dec 28, 2007

Changes for v7.5:
Auto-rename downloads when the same filename already exists.
Better spam filtering.
Fixed filename encoding. (Windows)
_________
Very resource efficient as far as java applications go, and download speeds are decent enough. I'd never use Limewire for a list of reasons; use Frostwire and save yourself trouble, otherwise, this is more efficient than either of them.

Also, it would be hard for Cabos to ever cave in because it's just the application, and Gnutella is not held on a simple chain of webservers; it would take a Holy Grail to take down the Gnutella network, which brings me to another point: the Cabos author didn't create the network, he merely created a client that accesses it, meaning he couldn't be held liable because he doesn't promote piracy either.

Back to Cabos now and am enjoying some neat finds just by browsing. Only had 1 "dud" file in 15 trys
and alot less Spam now. Torrents are great but torrent pages like Demonoid aren't available in Canada now. File sharing is threatened. Cabos is one P2P that hasn't caved in to threats like so many file share resources. Enjoy it while you can!

RaGhul reviewed v0.7.3 on Jul 22, 2007

Just tested this NEW version (v0.7.3) this morning.

At first, I couldn't see any immediate changes. So I checked the changelog.

For those of you who have been using this app for a few months, two things will stand out like a sore thumb (once you know what to look for):

* Improved network connection
* Improved spam filter

Cabos now connects to the Limewire networks in a matter of SECONDS. Previously, it could take a few minutes to connect, which was one of my very few gripes.

Spam filtering is MUCH better, which seems to be the biggest complaint I get from customers who aren't as P2P savvy as the rest of us and accidentally download those "BuyCheapMP3" files.

Keeps getting better and better. Nice!!

hank0614 reviewed v0.7.3 on Jul 17, 2007

The past two iterations still do not detect Java on Windows XP SP2 installation. Great program... if it would run.

Reverb reviewed v0.7.3 on Jul 17, 2007

This and Limewire Pro are the two best Gnutella clients I have used (tried KCEasy and Sharezaa) -fast downloads & lots of results in searches. The one feature I prefer in Limewire is the search type filter (audio, video, programs, etc.) Cabos just groups it all in one.

The Gnutella network unfortunately has become the toilet of the P2P world. Irrelevant results are always at the top of the list, far too many dead links and fake files. I know a few noobs who got viruses downloading what they thought were MP3 files using Limewire.

Good client, bad network.

runningfool reviewed v0.7.3 on Jul 16, 2007

simply the best gnutella client out there, no exceptions. if youve used limewire or frostwire before, try cabos. and yes cabos connects to the limewire pro network too.

...granted, torrents have all but killed most dedicated p2p networks. and if youre just looking for music, soulseek is a much better choice. BUT if youre looking to connect to the limewire network, cabos is the best choice.

RaGhul reviewed v0.7.2 on May 17, 2007

@madcats

Try using "Edit >Preferences" (CTRL+,). Go to "Searching" and select:
Ignore files that are longer than (characters) 255
Ignore files that are smaller than (kB) 256

You can configure these settings even further by placing your own values, instead of the defaults.

This for me negates a high percentage of the 'fake' files.

There are many more settings to play with. These are just my own personal suggestions.

Nikkie reviewed v0.7.2 on Mar 31, 2007

Torrents don't really work well when you want a single file..most want a single file.you can edit the filter out.fake files are everywhere in p2p programs...try not downloading them o_0

madcats reviewed v0.7.2 on Mar 6, 2007

The reviews are more than a year old now I'll say this; make sure you have good Firewall & better antivirus because it's full of sick fake files. So what you "search" for isn't what you wanted.
I have never seen so many "dead links" when you try and download from the "SEARCH....GARBAGE!

Get a torrent so you can see the file data, leave this crap for the leeches, wanting "somp-om free"

RaGhul reviewed v0.7.1 on Jan 24, 2007

dlaws,
Try installing Java. (duh!)

This app is AWESOME!!

I've been in the market for a p2p for months now, ever since BearShare turned into SpyShare. Yes, I know, it's been that way for a while now. I was using Lite and Pro. Now, even Lite and Pro are loaded with crap!!

I tried Ares. Seemed like a decent app, with an interface similar to Kazaa. And it's OpenSource. Well, it might have spies, not sure; I never checked it with SpyBot. All I know is, whenever I ran it, my internet connection kept going in and out. Weird. Buggy.

I wasn't too impressed with Cabos ...at first. Seemed slow, and the GUI left me a little cold. Then, I gave it another shot a few days ago...

NICE!! It has a little bit of a learning curve, I'll admit. Plus, it's a little slow when you first run it. Just have patience, my little Padawans.

After about 5 min or so (and after it fully connects), it finds - and downloads - files like a jogger on crack!! Blazing fast.

Trust me. Just play around with it, get a feel for it, and you'll stop using the rest.

Burpy reviewed v0.6.7 on Nov 10, 2006

Ok, I'm updating my post because I finally figured out why Cabos kept giving me an error when launching it. This might help others as well, hopefully.

I suggest you uninstall older versions of Cabos & delete any leftover folders as well. I fixed my issue by deleting all related Cabos reference in "application data". You can find this folder within "C:\Documents and Settings\", you may have to enable "show hidden files and folders" in tools>folder options>view.

Now look through all the user folders (ex. Administrator, All Users, Default User & your personal folder) for Cabos folders, files & delete them. Once that is done you can install the latest version of Cabos & it should work fine with no errors when launched.

Hopefully this works for you if you come across any problems using this great application.

I'm running Windows XP x64 with the latest version of Java.

Dasteez reviewed v0.6.6 on Nov 5, 2006

Amazing Gnutella client. Limewire is full of ad ware, and is so bloated. Cabos does everything that Limewire does(with the exception of a built-in music player), but does it with a cleaner, simpler GUI and uses much less memory than Limewire does.

One of the best Gnutella clients.

cabos is the best free sharing program out there. it gives fast and steady downloads. i'm not sure about limewire pro, but limewire basic is full of ads and gives really slow download compared to Cabos.
on the downside though, it is based on java(requires java installed), and is hence a big memory hog.
also seems like cabos is not yet popular as others out there, so there are fewer hosts and u can't expect to find the 'not so popular' things.

1) its free
2) its open source
3) its not like limewire in that you have to buy a PRO version to unluck full searching and download capabilities.

Its got a great interface.
Limewire was built with that Java looking interface...such crap...i hate that interface. If i want a Java look I'll go use Solaris.
I want a Windows look and feel and Cabos delivers that.

And to add on to that, it allows you to import your iTunes library if you are so inclined.
Thats not the only thing to make iTunes users feel like home...
Search results and downloads are presented with an iTunes look. i.e. varying blue and white lines in a list of items, iTunes music icons, etc.

Its really nice and fast.

I've tried many file-sharings applications, but this one is remarkably good, considering it's new and still in beta. I give it a 5 for good, clean UI and it's ability to become one of the best file sharings applications. Keep an eye on this piece of software :)

Great Job !!

My only wish is with java and not the maker of this program . I wish they would make java use less resources etc.

a few bugs to fix .

when it finishes the file sometimes the check doesnt come up and it stays in the incomplete folder.

when you go to open the file ,sometime it wont.

reveal in folder does this too , sometimes...

little more.

i love this program, being a mac user to pc switcher... but one thing i noticed is that when it runs, java.exe is taking high cpu loads. any way for this to go down?

I love it. Best speeds there is

kmx reviewed v0.3.9 Beta on Jun 3, 2005

Excellent program!
Files can be found quickly, and download speeds are very, very good. The program has an optional integration into iTunes if you so use it. I would prefer if the program integrated into WinAMP or gave some other media player options.

The reason I give 4 stars instead of 5, is because there are still stability problems with the program. It will sometimes not shut down properly, or slow down overall internet usage. Aside from these issues, it's a very useful piece of software.

i had a problem with the file finishing and getting that check mark that it does at the end . sometimes the file gets stuck . this version seems decent , so far . the above is the only bug i have found .

btw , Shareaza does find a lot but try to get any downloads to start without tweaking the program and then sit as it takes years for it to complete with even a dsl connection . im sorry but i dropped that program a long time ago .

It gets better and better with every release. Cabos is a perfect example of a Java app done right. It has replaced both Limewire and Shareaza (only used for gnutella) on my machine.

Nikkie reviewed v0.3.7 Beta on May 24, 2005

In the sources i get these weird little symbols . i selected english but still get this ..

**Fixed in 0.3.8

Nikkie reviewed v0.3.5 Beta on May 3, 2005

always good .. just keeps getting better .

how about a trey icon to minimize to and resize later ..i normally leave the program running for uplaods but dont have room on my toolbar .. just to minimize to the trey would be a good function ...

also , is g2 possible ..dont bother if it ties the program down . i like it the way it is .. just brain storming etc..

great p2p , btw .

Great work !!

I used to use aqualime but it was always so slow . This is small , simple and to the point but a pretty powerful/fast little p2p program .

daver18qc reviewed v0.3.2 on Mar 27, 2005

It could be faster by connecting to more sources but overall it's pretty decent. I use LimeWire Pro and it's very similar. I still like LimeWire Pro better but this is my 2nd choice.

0.3 has some problems I think. Can't connect to the network and it never can shutdown properly. Using 0.2.9 again.

TehMark reviewed v0.3 on Mar 17, 2005

Love this program. No crap like spyware and it downloads really fast as far as I can tell. Much better than anything I've seen.

Nikkie reviewed v0.2.9 on Mar 10, 2005

Getting better ..I am impressed . Good work .

Theres one problem . It drops the connections and you cant reconnect . You have to close the program and then lose your downloads ..

Bigger problem ... It kills your internet connection and the downloads get stuck .

So far I like it. I will post again after I have tested it longer.

Nikkie reviewed v0.2.8 on Feb 28, 2005

The link doesn't work . I searched and found the verison before this one .The program has the right idea but needs to be less of a resource hog , connect to more networks (5 wont cut it) and some functions shouldnt be so far out of reach ..

also , it needs to find sources on its own ...

superkicky reviewed v0.2.8 on Feb 25, 2005

Interate it with Winamp and you'll get a 5.

DarkHound reviewed v0.2.8 on Feb 25, 2005

poor excuse for a peer to peer program. seems to have a memory leak.

Clean UI. Not bad at all.

Surprisingly good search results. The interface of very simple but could use one or two little alterations to make it easier to navigate.

Hydra reviewed v0.2 Beta on Dec 19, 2004

No screenshot anywhere on the net that I could find, not even on the homepage.

REQUIRES JAVA - A big no-no for me, what's wrong with nice fast C++?

dave001 reviewed v0.1.8 Beta on Nov 30, 2004

The first night i installed the program it ran like greased lightening. But unfortunately i've not been able to get a connection sinse.

kiwibank reviewed v0.1.8 Beta on Nov 29, 2004

must admit...i`m quite impressed....very quick on a fast dsl connection..what with this app and the latest limewire release, gnutella has certainly come back to the future.....

tangoman444 reviewed v0.1.8 Beta on Nov 29, 2004

Wow, i must say this program's pretty good in comparison to other gnutella clients i've tried. It's interface is minimal and clean but it can definitely improved. The download speeds are quick and is pretty low on resources.... I would like to see where this program has to hold for the future! 4/5
