I would strongly advise you to use an older version of BearShare.

See > http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...sabotaged.html

The best of the old is 'available' in the first post...

h so has this 'sabotage' spread to bearflix as well.

If so thanks for the advice.

Is this 'best oldest version of bearshare' able to download video files and if not is there a download of the old version of bearshare that was able to download both audio and video files?

Thanks a lot for the help again.

BearFlix IS the sabotage !

Best for you to read (wade?) through the thread...
All of your questions will probably be answered !

Specifically, I am sure that you will find an enormous increase in performance by going back to the older pre-rip-off stuff...

Read on and all will be revealed...
(Much of it is a not very pretty story !)

Please let us know how you get on...

Thanks a lot ursula.

OK Iv now downloaded an old bearshare version and it works perfectly but for one quite significant thing.

When I close the program or shut down my computer, and then start the program up again all my previous download progress is lost. So for example if Im downloading a boxing fight thats 400megs in size and it gets to 100megs by the time I want to shut my computer down. Then when I start the program up again all that 100meg progress is gone and I have to start all over again.

This is unusual as Iv never had this problem before with any version of bearshare of bearflix in the many years Iv been using the application.
