I recently downloaded BearShare, thinking it would be a nice way to get some files I needed. Unfortunately, I have sat for days on end trying to get even one file... All my 2500+ attempts at even ONE file, which appeared to be extremely abundant, all ended up in failure of some sort. I know there are no problems with the way anything is set up, as I have tested it with a friend in another country successfully.

Why doesn't this infernal protocol work? I don't know. I'm only going to be trying this a little bit longer and if it doesn't work, I'll definitely be pissed.

The funny thing is that there are already things that are terrible but at least better than this!
