Not Mp3 files those other files wma or sumtin idk
any way i can fix it?

There should be no reason you can't find MP3 files. What version of BearShare do you have?

If it is 5.2 you need to switch to 5.1. See the first post in this thread. If you
already have 5.1 go to Setup/Filters and make sure MP3 is not in the lists.
While you're there, add WMA, WMP, WMV, M4P and ASF to the list on the
right side. Those are the types of files that can be infected with DRM and viruses.

I have tried several times to download the Bearstart Utility from the following: http://www.technutopia.com/forum/showpost.php?p=15322

Did I miss some instructions? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Worked for me. Try this one instead: BearStart

Aaronwalkhouse - Thanks for the info. Worked great. I'm back on.

Thanks again.

It feels that limewire is starting to do the same thing. For example i will be downloading great at about 30KB\s and all of a sudden all downloads drop down to 0KB\s and finally i have to wait in line all over again. And even when it picks up it is very slow. What used to take me 2 hours to download a movie file is now taking 2-3 days. Any suggestions, please help me.

You're in the BearShare forum

Use the forum search to look for speed dropping, slow download speed or something similar.

Try downloading a file from here & see what speed you get

I think Shareaza (Raza) hosts can sometimes boot you back down the queue

Any ideas AaronWalkhouse? I ran the BearStart utility. This problem has happened to me with all version 5 BearShares. The only version I've been able to run was version 6 which is obviously a different program design. I'm running Windows 2000 on VPC.

It shouldn't be possible at all in a virtual machine.
Try booting it into Win2K natively instead.

lol Going to buy me a pc machine? I can run raza, LW, FW, Gnucleus, various DC progs ... why not BS? What else can I run ... most adobe products, M$ ...
