Shareaza 2.4.0.0

Shareaza is the most luxurious and sophisticated file sharing system you'll find. It can harness the power of up to four separate peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, including EDonkey2000, Gnutella, BitTorrent and Shareaza's native network, Gnutella2 (G2).

Not only that, but Shareaza is completely FREE and won't show any annoying ads or pop-ups. It won't install any unwanted third party programs that can wreak havoc with your computer. No spyware, no registration, no "paid version". Just download and use. Simple.

Features:

Downloading... The Shareaza Way!

• Use the power of 4 P2P Networks simultaneously!
  Four networks mean access to a wide variety of users. Look no further: Shareaza's got it!
• Download from multiple sources
  Experience downloads the way they were meant to be: fast! Shareaza swarms across four networks!
• Sophisticated file-hashing
  Say adios to corrupted files and mp3s that skip. Shareaza detects and fixes corruption before the download completes.
• Find that file with Global Searching on Gnutella2!
  Search the entire network, not just a part of it. Shareaza will find you that file!
• Multiple results tabs
  Each search is displayed in a new window. Your search results will never be overwritten. Shareaza runs the searches you want, when you want!
• Previews, users comments, and ratings

  Choose from dozens of different looks or even make your own skin and share it to the world! Shareaza has a style to suit your tastes!
• Shareaza goes Global!
  Translated into over Ten different languages (and counting), Shareaza is equipped with full Unicode support for true international searches and downloads. Shareaza is perfect for anyone, anywhere in the world.
• Further Shareaza's horizon with a Plug-in
  Extend the functionality of Shareaza with plug-in modules, the sky is the limit. You can even create your own!

Preview your files and Chat to others

• Did someone say Media Player?
  Play all types of video and audio files, watch visualisations, edit playlists, and even control the player with a snazzy remote. Shareaza is your one-stop media solution.
• Preview filters
  Want to view that video file before it has finished downloading? Well, Shareaza has the ability to preview your incomplete audio and video files!
• Chat with a friend or someone you've just met!
  You can chat with friends one-on-one while you're using Shareaza, pass on a message or get to know another Shareaza user.

Be Secure! You never know who's out there.
