BearShare Lite

BearShare is a file sharing program that lets you, your friends, and everyone in the world share files. Built on Gnutella technology, it provides a simple, easy to use interface combined with a powerful connection and search engine that puts thousands of different files in easy reach. It is designed to let you share files with everyone on the Internet, and download files that other people are sharing. Works with all types of files, and lets you search for files that contain specific words or phrases.

This is the ad and spyware-free version of BearShare with added support for Magnet links and a streamlined interface for enhanced searches. BearShare gives you access to countless types of digital media and other files that are made available by other users plus some special professional and independent content providers.
