OT: 'BearShare'

I agree, Morpheus and Kazaa are much better file sharing programs. I had Bearshare for about 2 days before I decided it was a waste of time trying to get anything off of it.

I switched to Kazaa solely because they had the download-the-same-file-from-multiple-Users thing, so i can get stuff 5x.

On Bearshare I always seemed to be downloadeding off the slowest bastard on the lot. Now I download from the 5 slowest bastards on the lot and get everything really fast.

I have only one problem with Morpheus/Kazaa/etc., and that's the fact that you will rarely (if ever) find an audio file with better than 128kbps/44.1kHz quality. Other than that, those programs are superior to BearShare. BearShare has killed my connection more than once (I get a normal amount of incoming packets, and outgoing packets are slowed to about one per minute or stopped altogether; only fixed by reboot and reconnect).

Just getting off topic in off topic:

If you want to get Audio files ONLY, try Audiogalaxy.

Maybe, but if you have broadband Morpheous and KaZaA allow you to download videos and even some cool software (but check for viruses!).
