Not trying to prove you wrong, not my intent as I prefer it over LW for its speed, my speed in LW is always in a state of flux and Bearshare has more options in my opinion and is easier to configure without banging your head against the wall. The version I have has no spyware. Im gonna check the site to findout what you're talking about.
