Many Thanks

I moved your thread here where it's more appropriate. Have a look at the top of this forum section (BearShare > Open Discussion) for the Sticky by AaronWalkhouse & I think you'll find some interesting answers. ;) :)

many thanks for that, i have tried to get the older version but getting nowhere & i have not got my key anymore how would i get a new key

I couldn't answer about the keys. But what problem are you having with the older version? Aaron Walkhouse might be able to advise about the keys.

trying to find it

Same thing happened to me.... I have the beta now with bearstart and have noticed no real difference rather than it doesn't slow my computer down as much, and it doesn't try to update itself.

no difference eh?

take the time to go into the configuration and force UP status...mwahahahahaha

I don't get it

ie: make sure you have made exceptions in your firewalls for BearShare, & if you use a NAT modem/router to open a port for it. And configure BearShare's settings for best performance. If possible set it to be UltraPeer status ... as suggested by Peerless ... force it.
