Apart from asking for help, forums can allso be used to get information that is allready there.
If you find your questions on any forum are not beeing answered the most common reasons for that are:
* Your question has been answered many times before.
* Your problem is so uncommon, nobody has a clue.
Beeing impatient, demanding, rude and not providing enough info also helps
Anyway reading the forum rules before posting is the best way to start.

And alltough you are using Bearshare, looking in the Limewire section also helps, the basics are the same.
