Me also. BearShare for mac would be very attractive! ;) I'm not sure why they have limited themselves other than lack of proggies with the ability to adapt or rewrite to the mac platform.

If you are running Windows on your Mac, then all is good. :) Download Better BearShare OR check File_Girls BearShare adaption & update.
BearShare was only ever made to run on Windows operating system, never Linux or Mac OS.

How to run windows on your mac?

4 options I can think of:

1. Mac's Bootcamp utility will help you install Windows & install the drivers to run mac hardware whilst booted into Windows.

2. Install Windows on mac, but use windows drivers & regular pc mouse, keyboard, etc.

3. Use a virtual pc software which allows Windows to run inside a window interface on your computer. Parallels is what I use & is easy to open. I like this option because it means I do not need to reboot into windows, simply open parallels. VMware is another good vpc. I've heard Parallels is a little faster. I run windows 2k, xp & 7. Parallels also supports Linux. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallels_Desktop_for_Mac

4. Use Wine. This allows you to run Windows programs whilst booted into Mac OSX. This is not a virtual pc software like (3.) above. And unlike the vpc's, Wine is free. Wine (software) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Direct site is here http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/. Well worth trying IMO. :)
