coffee must be a best friend on this site....im having trouble with bearshare (when am i not?) LOL . the pages take forever to load and i keep getting error messages saying "this page seems to be taking a long time" or "please wait" that lasts forever until i back space a bunch of times or click on home and often then i get a "page not found" error screen. what is the problem? ive uninstalled and deleted the program 3 times and its still doing it. im thinking its conflicting with explorer somehow but i dont know how to fix it. anyone with any ideas that i wont have to wait 4 years for a reply?

Hi stephanie17,

I don't know what you're complaining about regarding 4 year old posts.

We don't offer support for your version of BS, since it doesn't use the Gnutella network.

We don't work for any file sharing client, we're just a help forum where users offer support to other users for file sharing clients which use the Gnutella network - a decentralised network where people download files from each other.

This link might help to explain the differences between versions: I paid and now "LICENSE REQUIRED"! Help!

Most BS users here prefer the version mentioned in this link: BearShare has been sabotaged.

If you'd like to try the BS 5 version then there are many helpful posts in the BearShare section: BearShare (Windows)

If customer service have been no help but you want to carry on with your current version of BS, then I guess you could try Google to see whether other BS 10 users have had the same issue as you.

Good luck

The second link in the A technique for connecting with BearShare, as the first link is File_Girl's version which will not install on Windows 8. The second link is my equivalent installer re-done to work with Windows 8.
BearShare 5 will lack the same messaging system, etc. you enjoyed with the 'other' version.

Yeah bearshare 10 runs on a different network which is semi-commercial. Free users are limited to what they can download afaik. Wikipedia also has some information on BearShare.
