Try the version of BearShare that doesn't mess with DRM.

I tried that and when i got on the program there was nothing. I spent like two hours on it and search for stuff but nothing came up. plus it messed with my clock.
Maybe I did it wrong but i don't think so.
And in response to my previous post:
If you have a free account on BearShare, and download anything with Yellow stars, then you are downloading things only paying members can get. you can only download the green star items. The yellow star ones "download" but stop at finalizing cause your account cant finalize the transaction as it is now (a free one).
This may have already been said but that was what the problem was for me.

Ah, I see you're a victim of Comcast's illegal censorship. They promised
the U.S. government that they would stop doing that, sometime next year.

Until then, you'll find that Azureus (now known as Vuze) and
µTorrent will still work as long as you turn the encryption on.
