BearShare is a great file-sharing utility that makes use of the Gnutella file-sharing network. In BearShare you specify how many main Gnutella servers you wish to connect to and thus how many paths you wish your searches to progress down. A great feature of BearShare is it's ability to carry out concurrent searches meaning that you don't have to wait for one search to end before starting the next. To top this great file-sharing utility off - BearShare also includes a comprehensive statistics page that informs of network health and transmission status. Very easy to use and very powerful (and _much_ faster than napster). The program provides integrated, free, direct access to BearShare.Net service, the premier website for the Gnutella community.
Our Review: BearShare is simply excellent. You can search for almost any multimedia you want like graphics and images, mp3s, wav, mpg and movies, and lots more. Now even flash files. The clients accepts connections from several different host where other users are connected. You can then set up your BearShare to retry the file download until it is complete. You can also integrate your searches through Gnutellas Web Search. Partially downloaded files can also be resumed. Very good!
