Hallo:

first I have to say that, besides my personal and mostly subjective dislikes, Bearshare is a very reliable and well-written servent, so I am a little bit wondering, for I have used it myself until recently. We here will surely try to help you, but you have to give us some more specific information.

[All my 2500+ attempts at even ONE file]
How did you count this? :-) Ok, no joke, I think a possibility is that your shared folders and esp. the download folder is misconfigured. Check also the [temp] folder for incomplete downloads, is it existing? And in the right place?

You said that you are able ti find files, so I presume you are connected correctly.... Hmm... tell us more....

Greetings....
