Bearshare sucks compared to Gnotella and Gnucleus. I used Bearshare for about a year then switched to Gnotella and liked that. Then switched to Gnucleus, because it is by far the best. I also use LimeWire every once and a while. I can safely say all of those clients blow bearshare out of the water.

and in linux i use Mutella THE best client on any computer.
