Lightbulb Bearshare vrs Gnotella

Bearshare is nice because it seems to hog less CPU, do searches faster, and connect to servers faster. I also like its auto-resuming and the QoS thing.

But Gnutella has some things I appreciate. First I hate how Bearshare only shows k-bits-per-sec. It is decieving to see it say 40kbs.. That seems very fast when it is only around 4Kbps (k-BYTES-per-sec). Also Gnotella seems to do a much better job of returning alot of results that closely match the search string I typed in. Finally the ability to specify searches as only "music" or "movies" is very nice, and works much better then adding .mpg, .avi, and .asf in the search string for BearShare.

Justathought.
