Moron, if you bothered to look you might have noticed that there are LESS bundled products in 2.2.6.

Yes, as another one said recently: We recognize the genuine Vinnie manners.

Go and work on them.

With that attitude why would I want to go look? So zeroshadow is really Vinnie after all? $$$ interest in Bearshare, you can tell. Greed sucks, keep it off Gnutella.

I love BearShare but don't like having to upgrade all the time. Could we please get rid of the upgrade prompt when connecting or spread the upgrades out over time? Thanks for a great client!

Wrong again!

For you information I have no "$$$ interest in Bearshare". BearShare has no anonymity, and to me that makes BearShare dated and slated for the block, soon to follow Napter down the drain. But since ELFnet and Freenet are still not really usable yet, I use BearShare because it is the best that I have found. And yes I have tried all the rest, even have most of them still on my computer.

zeroshadow's IP address is from Utah.
Vinnie's IP address is from Florida.

So they're not the same person. And even if they were, who cares?

If there was no upgrade prompt the average user would never upgrade. A lot of the upgrades include changes that are very important for the health of the network, without them it would not be near as good as it could be.

One of the best things about BearShare is that it does have a lot of upgrades. BearShare did not start out as the best client, but because BearShare has a faster rate of development them most other clients, it is becoming better faster. And yes with development comes upgrades. So even though upgrading is a pain in the a** I still look forward to doing it.

Spyware, Privacy, and Gnutella

Long ago in a forum far far away...

Quote:

Hey guys, the AdWare just pays the bills. Sure, the advertising site keeps a list of all the IPs who are sent the ad in the name of BearShare...
But your IPs are NOT hidden anyway!!

Any undercover RIAA/MPAA agent (the consulting firms they hire) can place themselves into the Gnutella network and learn the IPs of the surrounding users anyway. Additionally, they can learn what files you're offering and even DL some of them!! (Don't fool yourself into thinking they're not doing this already! They're just waiting for legal precedents to be set with Napster that will make it cheaper for them to prosecute the Top 2000 sharers... or so...)

The dangers posed by "Spyware" are far less than those we face already just by being on the network. At least spyware makes no note of what you're doing there, just that you're there (and when)...

In light of that, maybe it's not such a risky proposition in trade for Free Peers, Inc. being able to pay their bills.

WHY do people seem to think that "Spyware" poses some additional risk?? Such fear is irrational and unjustified, from technical or legal standpoints.

It all is a matter of opinion in what kind of society one likes to live in:
- Big brother watching you
or
- Ensuring one's privacy and having choices what personal information one gives out

If I lived in China or Russia, I have not much choice probably. Even the newspaper articles are 'filtered'.

You have no problem with sharing your personal surfing habits? Fine. Open up your PC to the world.
I am sure you have a firewall running?

Choice is the agenda, freedom of choice.
Internet included.

Good Point JD

In fact, the internet and newspapers are monitored in many more places than just Russia and China; with privacy becoming 'limited' around the world it is only natural for companies to want to take a part in this. Firewalls help if you are into security and retaining privacy. Safeweb.com does a nice job also of keeping the user private, but even they take information from their users, and bombard you with ads. If you want a non-spyware/non-adware program, write your own! I apologize for being blunt, but it is like voting. It isn't fair to speak up and/or complain if you yourself haven't voted. Do something about this complaint instead of just, well, complaining about it!
