Simon, something you mentioned in your post of June 17 worries me.

There is only one true and correct version of Shareaza, and it is only available from shareaza.sourceforge.net. The latest release of the real Shareaza is version 2.4.0.0. You mentioned version 6, and that's what bothers me.

There is an anti-P2P company who are in the process of trying to steal the Shareaza name. They have already stolen the web site, shareaza.com, and now they are in the process of trying to steal the Shareaza copyright. Worse, they are offering fake versions of the Shareaza software. Those fake versions carry the names, "ShareazaV4," "ShareazaV5," and "ShareazaV6." If you are using any of those hijacked, fake versions, then you aren't using anything like the real Shareaza -- in fact, you're at risk, because they incorporate spyware inimical to file sharing.

Because the Shareaza sourceforge.net project is open-source, anyone can download and examine the source code -- and unscrupulous anti-P2P miscreants have done so.

Please, when you talk about Shareaza, be sure that you have the real version in mind!

Thanks!
