afraid?

you forget (not surprising) that I tried it once...and to my discredit it took me a damn week to figure out that it was responsible for sucking my box's resources like a vampire sucking the life out a victim...and I do mean sucking the life away...and in case you haven't paid attention (which I'm sure you haven't) I have a P4 Oc'd to 3.05 GHz and 2 Gb of ram, which is a fairly powerful setup for the rather clean system I run...after finally noticing that one particular process was sucking 95% of cpu and making a spiraling out of control use of memory, I was at least able to kill the process...took me 5 more days to remember I had installed that piece of cr@p, and upon removal from my system things were back to normal...

I guess you can use the word 'afraid' as I'm rather afraid of just about anything you recommend...

Hmmm… Thought I included a warning about the DNS Client.
Maybe it was an old file.

Since all the good HOSTS lists come with the warning I warn about it too.
Do you remember skipping over any readme files? ;]

Yes, the list is all fairly exotic stuff rarely found on today's computers.
Who could argue that?

I, out of charity, left off the list other rarities such as Open Office, Diskeeper, Spyware Doctor, Registry Mechanic, Photoshop- Why bore the others by naming all of this exotica? And, apologies to all of the gamers out there because I didn't include the many ancient games that, along with so many of the other unusual programs go totally berzerk with system time alterations.
Anyway, who among the cognescenti is worried about their software registrations being revoked at the next attempt at updating?

And, "Roger that," on the hostiles list and its rather curious appetite. :nono:

btw-------- Thanks for the DNS disable tip.
Any other bits of truly ancient lore to be dispensed?

and do you remember scoffing at my original comments about your hosts file?????

of course you do, just as you are scoffing right now refusing to admit that you supply a piece of cr@p ....and as The Shadow points out with 'its rather curious appetite'...

next you will imply that my box is at fault, along with any software I may have installed....

hey...you know what root beer boy?

your continued denials have gotten me to realize something...the fact that you are a worthless dillhole of a father raping troll was realized long ago...

what I've realized is that your 'great' recommendations are a chimera....in fact I seriously suspect that your stuff is bugged....and of course upon that realization I will refuse to ever recommend your garbage in the future...

dang nobody even answered the original thread question! so where can I find Ursula's
version of Bearshare?
can someone please direct me to a link or e-mail it to me I'd like to try it I just
uninstalled Bearsharelite (garbage)
much appreciated :)

d00d...urs is the one who originally answered your first query Here ....

now, since you have rid yourself of the annoying characteristics of the upgrade (that used to drive me nutzo also) I would suggest you download Foxy Phex and use that to search for the file Urs mentioned....obviously she was talking about searching the gnutella network for the file ;)...hey, you might even like Phex (it is a good proggy)...and of course pay attention to urs mentioning of the correct file size ;)

There are a bunch of old versions on the gnutella network and all the good ones
have been added to Bitzi, so use any gnutella program that works with Bitzi to find
and verify the 5.10.27 and 5.10.28 versions before downloading. Those are
released versions so make sure you ignore the upgrade nags. Both come with a
removable adware component which you can uninstall easily. There's not likely to
be a cracked Pro version of those numbers because the sabotaged 5.2.x
versions came out before many people had upgraded to 5.1.
