Bearshare lite

[PatTheRat]

Has anyone ever used this programme? Does it install any spyware?

What would be all your recommendations for p2p programmes? Whats quick and has access to a lot of files? Also, it must be free, I'm not paying until I get an ipod or a decent mp3 player.

eDonkey 2000 is good !

I have a lot of trouble with Bearshare messing up my system and it has a software bundle which is recognised as a threat.

Definitely use Limewire, I've tried every P2P there is, and this is the best by far. Any time it asks if you want to upgrade to pro, just click later.

Just click the link and download the top of the list version.

I had lime wire, but found it wasnt detecting my java virtual machine....meaning I had to install the java one, which I dont like.

I used to use WinMX, since it was a simple, small program with no adverts or spyware, however it has a smaller selection of files to choose from, and you sometimes have to queue when inconsiderate folks have limited their machines to 1 upload at once. Bearshare does indeed contain malicious programmes and is probably jammed full of viruses too.

I wouldn't touch Kazaa again with a 100ft barge pole !

Have finally uninstalled Bearshare as it was becoming a nuisance - stick with Limewire
