BearShare has been sabotaged. If you have any version at or above 5.2.0.6 your downloads can be arbitrarily stopped or limited by Free Peers at any time. This is what happened early this week when everyone with these new versions suddenly found themselves completely unable to download and then spent several hours at a crippled rate. Vinnie just had to test his new weapon, possibly to show the RIAA lawyers breathing down his neck that he could do it. To protect yourself from future episodes of sabotage, I suggest you switch to versions older than 5.2.anything and never upgrade again. If upgrade dialogs are a bother try the expired beta 5.1.0b25 and use the BearStart utility to run it. |
The above post has been backed up in case a rogue moderator tries to delete it. :rolleyes: Ursula, keep an eye on these BearShare forums for awhile, okay? I just might have to ask to take over if Vinnie, Louis and/or Sam try to destroy them too. Well I don't intend to sabotage your topic, but there is a forum rule which stipulates not to double-post! Sorry to hear about these events btw if that's really the case! :( Cool. It is an emergency so posted twice to be sure. Check your PMs |
