The old beta versions are expiring on the new year (GMT), so to continue using and testing Shareaza 1.7 you will need to upgrade to the latest beta (1.7.0.18). This does not affect older v1.6 release (non-beta) versions. Sorry for the inconvenience, but with betas its good to make sure everyone is using up to date software, so we dont have old bugs hanging around long after they were fixed.
