Bearshare has to be the ultimate Hi folks. I had problems with all other file sharing applications, like Frostwire and LW. However i have downloaded Bearshare version 5.1.0b25 along with the Bear Start utility. This was suggested by AaronWalkhouse in one of the forums and i gotta say im very impressed with the speed. The only thing i cant work out now is how to disable my bloody ITunes software from starting up literally every time a song downloads!. If anyones got any suggestions for that i'd be grateful. |
In BearShare, go to Setup/iTunes and turn it off. In iTunes, go into the settings and set it to not start when Windows boots up. |
Aaron you truely are amazing ! Thankyou very much indeed :-)) |
Can anyone tell me how to get my Bearshare 5.1.2 up and runnig again, had it for quite some time, then it crashed due to them being bought, but why isn't it working DJ-English |
Try this one. |
Hello again, i've got two more concerns regarding the BearStart utility: 1) Do i have to worry about the time limit, for instance will i eventually have to change something to reset the dates ?. 2) Is there a way i can stop the error message "This version of BearShare has expired" from popping up. It appears every time i log into my windows account, its even appearing on other user accounts. |
1. No. 2. Go into Setup/Options and turn off "Launch BearShare on System Startup. |
Thanks Aaron. One more question then i'll leave this forum alone i promise.... How long does it generally take to download a song? Lets say the size is roughly 2.7 MB. For me it takes 3-4 munites on a good day, but on a bad day it can take 7 munites although this is rare. BTW, my internet connection runs at 6.6Mb, but i notice that most of the sources you download MP3's from give readings as Dial-up connections. |
Looks like you answered your own question there. ;] |
No no no , only SOME of the ones i download from are dial-up, but i was just wondering what the general download time was for me or for anyobdy else. Like i say i am using 6.6 MB broadband and most songs take 3-4 munites, 7 if its rare or bad lagg. I was only wondering what lengths of time it took for anyone else. |
They can take anywhere from 30 seconds and up on a broadband connection like yours. Less than ten minutes is not unusual. |

NO !!! You are supposed to keep posting and having some fun around here !!! Hey.... I told you in PMs to stop screwing around and go historic... i.e. use BS ! Now you're on the right track and AW and some of us others can for sure hold your hand in the early days... Later, YOU are supposed to share you knowledge... RIGHT ??? :dance: C U later... ;) 'urs' |
Okay thanks Aaron. Ursula thankyou also ! If i can get my song download speed down to 30 seconds as Aaron suggested, i will be one happy bunny ! :P Although i am grateful Bearshare is working properly for me at last and hopefully sometime soon, i can begin to help other users who are just starting out with this wonderful piece of software. Many thanks all !. |
I had Bearshare awhile back and liked it but when I got a new PC with Vista, it wasn't compatible with this Op. Oh well... |
Hey, pattypoo Please... Post again and tell us what happened with your attempt to install BearShare and your delightful Vista... Any 'warning' or 'alert' notes... whatever... Please, OK ? btw... Welcome to Gnutellaforums !!! |
If you saw my profile you would see my age of 69...Senior citizen...can't remember much of anything that happened 3 minutes ago much less 8 months ago when I got this new PC with the wonderful Vista. LOL. All I remember is when I tried to dl Bearshear it said..."Fagetaboutit! You got Vista" :nono:...or something like that. Thanks for the welcome! P |
whatever happened to bearshare trivia |
is there still a bearshare trivia |
trivia where is bearshare trivia? |
Pardon? hehe :D Hey I have lots of trivia question stuff. :p If I knew more about what you meant, perhaps it can be incorporated .. |
There used to be a bearshare site with a trivia bot and a moderator, there were several regulars and really cool questions. It was offsite the bearshare search engine and then I couldn't find it anywhere |
Sounds cool actually. Let us talk it over with the other mods & admins & we shall see what we can do. If they used a special bot .. we'd need to investigate or use a different technique. |
I'm thinking such a thing would really eat up bandwidth and resources... |
