Of course NOT, what do you think why you paid for it?

Limewire and Bearshare PRO are SPYWARE and AD FREE versions... nothing more...

Now your problem... do you mean the T3 thread? You are using Limewire right? Because this is the bearshare forum... I can move it if you want!

personally I consider it stupid to pay for any client because vinnienet wants to be rich.. Just use Gnucleus or XoloX.

You do not buy BearShare to get special features all that happens is you get the ADS taken off so get over it.

I have been downloading and sharing in Bear Share Pro and tried Limewire last night for the first time. My observation is that on Bear Share downloads are faster and there are alot more to choose from for instance George Strait had over a thousand different songs listed and on Limewire only in the 200's? And the time it took to download was much much faster on Bear Share! So use the one that suits you best!

FYI: Vinnie, the maker of Bearshare, has decided to block uploads from Bearshare to Shareaza. Because of this, Shareaza users are now blocking uploads to Bearshare. This effects Bearshare users a lot more than it does Shareaza users since Shareaza users report hardly ever downloading from Bearshare while a large percentage of their uploads are to Bearshare. Vinnie has cut off his Bearshare users from a large pool of files.

If you want to make sure you are finding the most files and have better downloads you should switch to Shareaza. Shareaza has G2 (Gnutella2) which has Global Search, among other advanced features. Bearshare, Limewire, and the rest of the Gnutella 1 clients do not have these advanced features. They only search a small fraction of the overall Gnutella network.

You can also use www.sharelive.com to find verified files with Shareaza. Sharelive is a database of magnet links for verified files on G2. Ever download a file only to find out it's something else? Sharelive fixes that.

Shareaza is also free and it doesn't contain any adware or spyware. www.shareaza.com

Default Shareaza is way better, and comes without the price tag.

Bearshare, plain and simple just doesn't work in our current time. It claims to be number one, when it has features which have already been implemented for over a year in some cases. Bearshare can somewhat be compared to Morpheus, a company that deciets its users by claiming to be the best.

Shareaza has all of the latest features, and will implement the newest technologies to make Gnutella a better place. When I say Gnutella, I mean G2 because G1 is pretty much done for. G2 is G1 reincarnated, but with a bigger ambition and goal set out. G2 will revolutionize the P2P technology. All who don't follow will cease to exist in the Gnutella environment.

Unhappy The SlowMoe trolling compendium

Due to lack of better things to do with his life, SlowMoe spends most of his time in Gnutella forums, advertising Shareaza to users of competing programs. Check out his latest four posts.

They're easy to spot, they all have the red "download Shareaza" icon on them.

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=17784

Some samples:

"I don't want to start any flame wars...I noticed Shareaza had all of the features Limewire did, plus countless other...Shareaza with only one developer outplayed, outsmarted, and outlasted Limewire, Bearshare, Xolox, and the list goes on...Try Shareaza it is the solution to you problems."

---

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=18246

Some more samples:

"Support of the G2 Network will enhance and give XoloX better abilities, and a good edge over other clients. Or will XoloX follow the slow moving clients such as Bearshare, and LimeWire?"

---

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=19848

And yet more samples:

"Limewire is far inferior to Shareaza, which to this day still supports the best of both networks. Shareaza comes with no ADS, or even spyware."

And yet even more samples:

"Bearshare, plain and simple just doesn't work in our current time.

Default BearShare sucks! LimeWire sucks! they are both a complete rip-off!

the free version of kazza is way better and kazza has more selections of everything. And half the time none of the things want downloads. And when you do ask for an artist you get like 99 of the same songs! I want my money back! We should report these people for fraud! I bet this isn't even legal-like they said it was!
