CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Although the bigger names in the P2P world still maintain the lion's share of users, several smaller entities have popped up. These programs appeal to those fed up with the fluff and third-party software often found in the more popular applications.
Shareaza is focused and lean, with a gorgeous interface and connections to the Gnutella2, Gnutella, eDonkey, and BitTorrent networks. It's also handsome and easy to use; we had no trouble quickly figuring out how to search, check our network status, and customize the interface through a healthy choice of skins. Search results were extremely fast, although we wish each new search automatically spawned a new tab. Shareaza also has a decent built-in media player for common audio and video formats. Other features include a chat client and the ability to schedule transfers.
The file-management system, with a slew of folders divided and subdivided into all sorts of categories, may overwhelm novices, though seasoned file-sharers probably won't have that much trouble. Overall, though, Shareaza's design, performance, and trim size provide make it a nice choice for peer-to-peer users.
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.
It won't install any unwanted third party programs that can wreak havoc with your computer. No spyware, no registration, no "paid version"

Version: Shareaza 2.4.0.0
"this is the best p2p program of them all!"
Pros: its adware/spyware free, its finds more stuff & handles incredibly. I love this program! I can find anything with this program.
Cons: Im using windows 2000 and the latest 2.4 doesnt work perfectly, so I went to their archive and downloaded 2.31 and it works great.

Version: Shareaza 2.4.0.0
Pros: None so far!
Cons: This piece of crap never downloads a thing! Every file I have ever tried to retrieve just sits it pending status forever!
Summary: I don't know why people give this product such a good rating because my experiences with it have been nothing less than pathetic!
-
Version: Shareaza 2.4.0.0
Pros: Nice layout, clean lines, fairly fast.
Cons: perhaps a little tough to find out where its placing the files. Onec you get where things are at it is enjoyable.
Summary: I've tried Limewire, Kazza and this out preforms them hands down.

Version: Shareaza 2.4.0.0
Pros: I suppose the chat feature may appeal to suicidal shut-ins
Cons: it messes with your system,is slow as hell unless you can make it stop whining about firewalls,the only content is porn,and from the filenames I saw bad porn at that
Summary: for people who haven't tried eMule or, better yet BitTorrent/Vuze

Version: Shareaza 2.4.0.0
Pros: Works very well. Shareaza is one of the best P2P today - It is my favorite.
It contains no malware. It causes no system problems.Cons: It may have a problem with your hardware firewall, but the fix (Port Forwarding) is described well.
