it's a file sharing prog which you have to dwnload right? not bittorrent?

is it worth getting involved if i already use bittorrent sites and have soulseek and kazaa lite?

any thoughts would be appreciated.

thx

Yes, its a whole separate file-sharing program, although it does have an implementation of BitTorrent in it as an "added bonus" I guess you could say, although the BT plugin doesn't work nearly as well as a separate BT program.

It's up to you whether you want to get involved in the gnutella/gnutella 2 network, and Shareaza also connects to the edonkey2000 network as well. Good luck in whatever you decide.

I use Shareaza, actually right now it's the only program that I use. I thinks it's a good program. The only problem that I find, though I don't think it's the program itself, but some files with download, but after awhile, they will stop and it's takes forever to get new connections to continue the download. If it's setup right, it works great. I get connected up to 6 neighbors all the time!
