i have downloaded the bearstart and the older version you have posted - do i remove the newer version of bearshare, install the expired version and open it with bear start?? i am going to try that - let me know if that is right, thanks, jd

Just install B25 right over top of the existing version and your settings and
layouts will be preserved. The next time you start it (with BearStart) it will be
as if nothing had changed.

appreciate the quick response - did i understand correctly there is no adware on this version?

Right. None.

There might be an occasional Fastclick popup ad caused by an embedded
webpage but you can easily prevent that by putting "www.bearshare.com" into
the Restricted Sites Zone with your Internet Settings control panel applet.

but do you remove zango from your computer? i deletled old bearshare but still get little zango things popping up

Any spyware killer should be able to handle it, but I think the thing comes with
it's own uninstaller too. Give that a try.

okay thanks i fixed it

Right, i'm a BearShare Pro user and i'm using BearShare Pro 5.0.1, i could update to 5.2 but i don't want to, is there a way i can get the latest 5.1 release anywhere for pro please?
They keep bugging me to update to 5.2 even though i have updates switched off!!!!! bi*ches!!

I don't understand. If 5.2.0.6 is the first version to feature crippled downloads, then wouldn't 5.2.0.5 be the best version to get? Is there something wrong with 5.2.0.5?

5.1 light from filehippo is legit right? or how high can i go before i get a bad one>

Yeah the ones from file hippo are ligitimate.

Any 5.2 version does constantly nag you to upgrade and you can't stop it from
downloading and sharing the latest version. Also, since they never went
through beta testing it is quite likely those low-numbered versions were not up
to the usual level of quality.

i have a question, since i upgraded to the new version of bearshare pro i am having problems downloading movie files, i search for the movie, get hundreds of results with loads of sources and when i try to download them the size doesnt match - eg, on the search page it is 730mb and then on the downloads everyone will turn to 700 or 698 and they just dont download. is this a problem everyone has and will getting the earlier version with bearshare solve this? i have uninstalled and reinstalled and that didnt help - i also have exactly the same problem on that new bearflix program - which if anyone is thinking of ownloading - dont. its full of bugs. i have mailed bearshare pro support 3 times but been ignored.
