It seems a lot of people our having the same problem I am. Cannot connect to the hosts. I have tried installing many different older versions of bearshare and copying the connect file to the db directory still doesn't connect. I have noticed when your installing the older versions the connect.txt created in the db directory is always the date you installed the software. I downloaded the connect.zip file, unzipped them, and installed them in the db diractory. Still doesn't work. I have been working on the this all weekend and still have no succes. Limewire works fine, but I don't like how long it takes to download files. I have noticed that when I started bearshare it used to ask me if I wanted bearshare to be the default handler. I would say yes and every thing worked fine. I need someone to help me with this

Thank you
