For those of you who want bearshre to work.. here is how its done... to me a lot of messing around to do it...

1) delete old version of bearshare

2) go to link below and get beta version 5 of BS. it wont work unless you also download the starter utility..

3) down load starter utility

4) install starter utility

5) install ver 5 beta of bearshare..

6) get new list of ultra peers from link below - where is says cache... the zip wouldnt open for me and i had to use the rar - i had to download winrar

if you follow instructions on how to load new ultrapeer list it will work.... with the 2 files you put from cache to db file... delete the old ones then paste in new ones...

i had 20 peers connected..... was flyyyiiiinnnnn

good luck.. let me know if it works for you,,,
