Get the only adware-and-spyware-free peer to peer client, BearShare Lite. With BearShare Lite, you can get the files you're looking for faster, and you get advanced searching and support for magnet links. This program works with MP3, MPEG, AVI, ASF, MOV, JPEG, GIF, and all other file types. It features full documentation (installed with the program), slick graphics, and a user interface that makes searching, downloading, and file sharing easy. It also features bandwidth controls, enhanced connection management, and improved downloading. Press Release.

This is what Bearshare Lite lacks that "Pro" version has:

*Better search results
*Turbo-charged download speeds
*Connect to more sources

BearShare 5.1.0 beta 1

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/File...BearShare.shtml

I'd say so with more than half a million users

The official is already on b4 http://www.bearshare.net/announcement.php?f=50 unless you really like fooling with the betas its not worth keeping up, there is a new one everyday.

I have the latest version of BearShare installed (4.7.2) and I removed all accompanying adware/spyware with Ad-Aware. What would be the advantage of me uninstalling BearShare 4.7.2 and installing BearShare Lite 5.0.0.4?

1) Limewire
2) Shareaza
3) Soulseek

Ares is 50/50, it has some toolbar bundled, but it's an option in the Install, so your statement was kinda wrong..

this is what is new http://www.bearshare.com/help/whatsnew.htm
or you could look at the detailed change log, http://www.bearshare.net/showthread.php?t=37743 The betas were labeled as 4.8

not really anything terribly important. Most of it is search related: saved searches, meta data filtering, etc.

So my BearShare 4.7.2 is a lot older than BearShare Lite 5.0.0.4?

plus all the bit torrent clients.
Also he didn't actually say that, its copied off the site.

only by one version
if those features dont appeal to u then its not worth upgrading

Newer versions seem to deliver alot more results and therefore faster speeds.

Argh right, the site's incorrect then

You're way behind. The latest is BearShare 5.1.0 beta 5.



Thanks for the BearShare update!

thx for the news. but cabos all the way. (yes, better than limewire/bearshare/ares/shareaza/soulseek etc.)

oh yep little dude, thanks for the heads up sorry
