Publisher's description
From Shareaza :Shareaza has unique features, including ghost ratings, a completely user-configurable queue area, and multinetwork support. The program started as a Gnutella client but recently branched out and developed Gnutella2, a completely open and documented network. Shareaza's interface is easy to use, yet powerful and fully skinnable. Shareaza's download core was built to provide optimum performance from any number of sources. Shareaza can manage your download queue automatically, or you can take charge and modify the status of files or even individual physical transfers and sources.
New features in Version 2.1 includes more than 200 updates, and improvements to Gnutella2, Edonkey 2000, and BitTorrent protocols.

Version: Shareaza 2.1
Pros: Nice, skinnable interface. Many users [Hey, what do you expect? It connects to three networks!], fast downloads, fast launching, no adware and/or spyware, and free! It ranks the same as LimeWire! Get it now!
Cons: Doesn't connect fast. It takes about 1 minute or more.

Version: Shareaza 2.1
"Great spyware/adware free p2p program!"
Pros: Shareaza is one of the greatest p2p programs I have ever used because unlike Kazaa, it isn't riddled with spyware and adware or third party programs. It is very easy to use and connects to the Gnutella, Gnutella 2, eDonkey, and BitTorrent networks. It has a great user interface which can be easily skinned if you like to customize. Overall, I say it's a bestbuy. Oh wait, I forgot. It's FREE!
Cons: The only downside Shareaza has is that if Windows Service Pack 2 is installed on your computer, you can't fully harness the power of all four networks. However, it still works perfectly fine if you have it.

Version: Shareaza 2.1
"Easily beats Limewire, Bearshare, or any other Gnutella client..."
Pros: OPEN SOURCE and COMPLETELY FREE. Connects to Gnutella1, Gnutella2, edonkey network, and is even compatible to download torrents. Very good source for any type of music you may be looking for. Includes enough features, built in media player and file browser. Clean and solid interface, which can be switched to other skins if prefered.
Cons: Learning curve may be quite steep for new users. Takes some time to figure out how to use all 3 networks without trouble. At first run, the program will automatically 'STEAL' your file type associations, such as your .torrent files, but this can be easily changed afterwards. Some other Gnutella and Bittorrent clients have 'blocked' Shareaza for certain reasons, but it is a minimal problem.
