SlingerX - awesome Shareaza alternative!

[zab]

Hi there!

I just discovered this awesome new program called SlingerX. The website is http://www.slingerx.com

It connects to the same networks as Shareaza, but does so much faster! The GUI looks nicer too, and downloads are slightly faster. I used to use Shareaza a lot, but once I installed SlingerX I couldn't even look at Shareaza again.

Give it a try, you'll like it!

Do you have any screenshots? I don't feel like using windows at the moment. So screenshots would be nice :)

its so slow to download. Hopefully the program isn't this slow.

I don't trust this rip off enough to give it a go even though its ony Shareaza with a new name.

Am goning to try it. And Yes the download is slow as Heck, thats the only problem I have noticed so far 1 hour thats a long time

[Matt]

this is a shareaza ripoff. this is shareaza with the older interface and no credit given to mike or the team....still takes forever to connect.

[Matt]

i take back what i said. this has to hurt the network in some way. it's way fast.

An optimised version of sharezza that violates the GPL oh well looks like http://softwarefreedom.org/ will see its first case in the near future .

is this program worth the download?

[mp3MaStA88]

can someone put this up on a server so it is faster to download, it is taking forever to download off of the slingerx website!

lol

all they did was replace Shareaza's name with their name

can't believe I wasted time downloading that

[mp3MaStA88]

but seriously is it faster than shareaza now, i mean the network and the program? are there any changes @ all in the coding or noticable in the program it self?

[serrebi101]

it's just shareaza. It's a sad, stupid atempt of ripping themoff.
It's no faster[stop making up speeds goddamnet!][tested on g2]
If you want to use shareaza, use the dam program, not solarx or whatever stupid name they gave to this ripp.
SolarX, I think I just gave birth to a new scam name lol.
Do I have to use my laim l33t language on this hidius piece of software?
Where is my translator!
Stick with shareaza

but seriously is it faster than shareaza now, i mean the network and the program? are there any changes @ all in the coding or noticable in the program it self? it just looked like an older version of Shareaza with a different name on it...when you go through the process of installing it and setting it up, you will laugh because it is step for step the exact same as Shareaza

as for speeds, I only tested a few files, and it doesn't seem any different than Shareaza. If you configure Shareaza correctly, the speeds are great anyway.

my opinion: don't trust a program that is a complete knockoff. stick with Shareaza

It's a complete rip off. They even copied the Shareaza.com homepage and documentation, then just did a search and replace on all the pages and code Shareaza->SlingerX.
