Does anybody have a copy of BetterShare?
Seems the original blog and the home website are now both dead.
Some listings of BetterShare via torrents but all are seedless. 'F' freeloaders! It seems torrents has been the distribution technique for a while by the developer. One such torrent added in April 2013 which is the latest release version is also seedless. The torrent is only 6 MB in size. Makes you wonder about people's mentality doesn't it. A dead torrent in less than 2 months. That's what freeloading does to torrents.
I'd be more than happy to help host the file.
Edit: Found this comment beside one of the torrents, dated 19/04/2012 (a previous release I guess):
"Changed and rebuilt engine - I decided to move to older 5.0.2.3 version ... BearShare 5.0.2 is way more secure than 5.3.0 - more info here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-discussion/53386-bearshare-has-been-sabotaged.html"
And from another torrent comment, sharing is disabled by default. I guess everyone on the network should follow that advice so all that is left to download is spam? lol
OK I am not expecting any reply to this post. I suspect I'd be long gone before that happened.
Edit: DOH! There's a download link on the forum
