Editors’ Review
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.
Downloading with Shareaza
- Access to Many Networks: You can use four P2P networks at the same time. This means more files and more choices.
- Quick Downloads: The software lets you download from multiple sources, which makes the process faster.
- Reliable Files: Shareaza checks files as you download them to avoid errors and corrupted files.
- Search Everywhere: You can search across all networks to find the files you need without any limits.
Better User Experience
- Easy-to-Use Interface: The interface is simple to use and you can change its look with different skins.
- Built-In Media Player: You can watch videos or listen to music before the download is complete. The media player also lets you manage your playlists.
- Chat Features: You can talk to other Shareaza users while you download files.
- Stay Safe: The software has strong security features to keep you safe from harmful downloads.
Shareaza goes beyond just downloading files. It aims to provide a secure and enjoyable experience. It is designed to work well with different Windows versions, including XP, Vista, 2000, and 2003. For older Windows like 98 and Me, there is a specific version available. Shareaza includes tools like preview filters, which let you check videos before they finish downloading, and plug-ins that add new features to the software. With all these tools, Shareaza makes sure you have a safe and efficient file-sharing experience.
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.
Bottom Line
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.
