I was wondering if anyone knows were I can download the cleaned version of bearshare that cydor was talking about the other day.

all beta versions of bearshare dont have any adware/spuware, but they last a fortnite

u can try limewire4, it has no spyware/adware or shareaza

limewire doesn't have any 'spyware' but it does have adware, even look on the site about the differences. It even has worse search results than the pro version. It hate file-share proggs which also have a pro version.

Um no the betas expire in 14 days, and DO NOT contain spyware, as both Ad-Aware and Spybot show it as clean..

Right from the Bearshare Web site "As always, the beta will expire after two weeks, so be sure to stay up-to-date with the latest betas."

So the betas are just fine, and have some of the cutting edge features in them

i prefer the bearshare beta myself... always using something totally new and totally clean.

I don't really like BearShare BUT: BearShare Lite: www.bearshare.com/lite (NO ads, banners, bundled software)

Cydors alleged copy of Bearshare isn't clean. It has been partially cleaned it would appear. I suggested that he run a PestPatrol scan to gain the facts. Just because Ad-aware or spybot doesn't detect anything doesn't mean nothing is there. I tried PM' him ages ago about it, but to no avail. I tried his copy first hand and not only did it contain crap, but it connects to only 2 ultrapeers at any given time not making it as good as other Gnutella clients that can connect to 6.

I will be very clear here, I don't mean to offend Cydor. I just wanted you to know the facts.

PestPatrol is crap, - I thought it was common knowledge that it returns false positives when searching for spyware. Use AdAware or Spybot, - they actually work.

It doesn't matter anymore to how many ultrapeers you connect. You don't get any more search results by connecting to more ultrapeers ever since dynamic querying was implemented.
