Version: BearShare 4.7
Pros: let me just say I was a huge fan of bearshare (before I discovered Limewire Pro) and installed this to see what was new and if the program had improved over previous versions. I was not impressed...
Cons: Okay maybe this is bearshare's way of admitting that the program comes bundled with SAVENOW adware and actually insists you need to install this aswell (in the free version anyway) Well the pretty splash screen informing you of this doesn't make it any more appealing - Who the hell wants to be bothered with POPUPS when you are searching the net! let alone this adware/tracker watching your every move. Upon installation SAVENOW immediatly tries to access the net (even before you get the chance to open Bearshare!) Those with firewalls can block it - as I did - but just the fact it is present on my computer made me think twice about keeping Bearshare.
Now comes the actual program.
1. Slow to connect (if at all)
2. Searches are slower than ever.
3. Searches are sometimes QUEUED!
I uninstalled this ten mintues later, including the adware/tracker liking Limewire Pro even more...

Version: BearShare 4.7
Pros: n/a
Cons: This program when downloaded loads up adware which delivers spam (advertisements) which could be harmful to your computer. It will probably slow down your computer considerably, because of the number of ads, so I recommend you DO NOT download this program.
