Men, Bearshare has been bought by iMesh Inc., so don't expect things going that well, have u tried downloading the older version and starting it with BearStarter, those links are lying in the bearshare forum, but i don't know where they are, search for them, and see if it makes any difference

thanks, i'll try that

i DL'd the start up, and let leaved it open, and than i installed bearshare 525 lite, and it worked, and the hting is that sometimes, i get that message, that bearshare has encountered a error, so idk, if it'll stay working, THANKS

do i need to use the start up program everytime i open bearshare ?

Dl time really sux, im trying to DL something that has 250 + sources and at first i had 6 sources DL'ing from and now its its either waiting for a tranfer connection, or isnt DL'ing what going on.

and why would they ruin bearshare program who ever bought it. dam if money wasnt invented this woiuld be working its all about money! instead of giving a s**t about us using beashare. there probably messing with bearshare cause its the number 1 program to download from

BEARSHARE 4 LIFE !

there trying to kill it, trying to give the other downloading pragrams to have a chance to speed up with bearshare. or make bearshare the same speed as others. but unless its a bearshare program, it'll never compare with the actual bearshare program. what the heck are the bearshare company thinking now. downloading sux now with bearshare, and everyone knows in everything theres always one that is the best. and they know that and threre making it hard not to change to another program to download from......

i keep getting a message "bearshare has encountered a problem and wil close. EVERYTIME i open it, or a few minutes after? after i installed the start up, and well before it did that too ? whats wrong with this crap

Download this: http://downloads.technutopia.com/beardiag/BearDiag.exe

Run it, put the resulting report in a zip file and post it as an attachment.

nope i ran the prgam, and restarted and now it doesnt open, but it said y get 5.0.2 beta, but where, and will it work as fast, and efficient as the ones i had before?

whoops it said BearShare 5.1.0 Beta bit i just tried to download it and it keeps trying to download the new bearshare 6 why can't i download the earlier versions any more...well i did on one place but that was it, bearshare lite 5.2.5 or something whats happing is it my computer...im running windows xp sp2 i have lots of disk free ruing 2 hdd one with 40 gb, and one with 20 gb and running on 998 megahertz and 256 memory, and the bearshae program is supposed to be compatible with this. and i even tried to go to properties, and change to a earlier version in capability tab, and still nohting i ran bearshare start up, and i also tried the link you gave me above, and now nothing works. dammit does anyone have bearshare working like new?

Did you try to download 5.1.0b25? Go here for download links that work:
BearShare has been sabotaged.

yes i downloaded it, and what i just saw happen and realized, is that the ultra peers (2 of them that connect automaticaly) disconnect, and tries to establish 2 other ones, and than keeps doing that till a message pops up, and than says "bearshare has encountered a problem and has to close" and when it searches a file, the percent meter, starts at 0% and around 10% done search, it pauses, i dont know why, it pauses and than starts searching again, it does that till it reaches 100%. and i checked every program, to allow everything to do with bearshare and still i have this problem., i cant install limewire either. i figured maybe its just bearshare, but when i installed limewire after uninstalling bearshare, it wouldnt even open, some thing about connection? i dont know. i didnt try to download any other software to download files from, but i really need some advice on if its my connection or is it the program. or what ? and ive downloaded 3 things on here the beta version that was a link on here, and also, the start up for the beta, and something called bearshare daig. or w/e none of them worked, well the program works for like 5-8 minutes and closes. i had that trouble before i just reinstalled it and it worked again, but i've uninstaled it too many times, and nothing, just opens for a few minutes and closes down. its giving me head aches (honestly) and i dont know waht else to say about whats happening. oh maybe it could be windows xp sp2, maybe i have to reinstall windows? thats an idea, but i dont have the disc anymore. and i know this is bearshare's place to talk about bearshare, but how does www.torents.com work? i know p2p, but what do i have to install? i really need something that will work, and download files from, and if not bearshare what else can i download to do this? cause seems like no one knows and its really frustrating and im fed up with looking for whats wrong with any downloading file program.

It seems you have a virus, make sure you scan all hd's 3 or 4 times, for both foes (virus & malware), and reinstalling everything up again, and Limewire won't open cuz a firewall it's blocking a basic neec when it starts up, you need to allow limewire.exe to connect to the internet for opening it up

i have my original windows firewall off, and my firewall allowing, and also off .....i thought i specified that earlier, that all programs were allowing it. and i have done full hdd scans 7 times since. and also used spybot search and distroy and another spyware prgram, and removed all, and theres nothing thats it finds anymore, and thats like 3-4 dayes ago. so im pretty sure thats not it...

the next post will read the bearshare diag thing
