This thread ROCKS! Thanks for a ton of help on getting my 'ol BS back online.

BUT! There seems to be a new problem. When I search for a particular file, say an mp3, the one that has the most sources automatically is "downloaded" -- but not by me! The program automatically is doing it, making it impossible to choose the file with the most sources and forcing me to have to choose a file that will take longer to dload.

Did I make myself understood? What's going on here??

BearShare doesn't automatically download any files that show up in searches. If
that file showed up in green lettering before you selected any for download, it's
because you already have that exact same file, even if it has a different filename.

Right-click the column headings in the the Search, Downloads and Library views
and enable the SHA1 column so you can search your folders and can tell which
file it is.

I'm not sure you understand completely what I am saying. When I input what I am searching for ([edit]), the prog searches for mp3's that fall under that criteria. I am saying that SOMETHING is AUTOMATICALLY making it impossible to dload the file that has the most sources BECAUSE ITS ALREADY DLOADED. I didn't do it, and that file is not in existance on my computer. The program did it, in other words.

Anyone else experience something similar??
