Any version of BearShare is adware free, because you can uninstall the
adware without losing BearShare. BearShare is still the fastest gnutella app in
existance too, partly because it doesn't have to run under Java. Not only
that, the lowest powered version of BearShare has higher performance limits
than the highest powered version of LimeWire, and all versions of BearShare
cheerfully volunteer to hit those limits hard.

It's simpler and easier to use than LimeWire too, so lets not hear any more
anti-BearShare "marketing" bullcrap without solid proof.

By the way, the Save/VVSN adware was never spyware. It doesn't spy. Nyah!
