These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed.

There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Windows 8 Help Hi, I have purchased a new computer, and I have Windows 8. It appears that the installer I currently have does not allow me to install BearShare because of an X86 issue. Can someone please direct me to the download link that will install the program that will work on Windows 8? Thank you kindly, Troy   |

| Someone else had same issue two weeks ago, http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...e-startup.html First try this one BearShare Test 5.1.0b25.rar If the so-called 32+64 bit version does not install for you, try the BearStart version, BearShare 5 stuff - filecloud.io If you have issues downloading from filecloud, disable your adblocker for that site and refresh the page. Please let us know how things go.  |

| Did anything work for you? I am only asking so it might be of help to others. If there is definitely an issue with any BS version installer for Win 8 then it helps to know. |

| Hi, I thought I did leave a reply in this thread, but apparently, something happened. Anyhow, no, neither of those links works for my new rig. Let me know if and when you update. BTW, would you like specifics to know better what problems I have encountered? Thanks again, Troy |

| The specifics of problems encountered might help find where the problems are with the installers. So neither the BearStart or BSLoader versions will install/work? |

| I installed Windows 8 and same issue. BearStart program simply does not work. And the installer for the other version says it can only be installed on versions of Windows designed for the following processor architextures: x86 (BTW I like the Windows 8 compatibility checker.) Anyway, I am going to try some experimenting around to see if I can find a solution. |

| OK, based on bfollett's suggestion, after only 10 minutes the fix was actually quite easy. Install BS, then place the BSLoader within the BS program folder. bfollett copied the entire program package across from XP, but that's not necessary. And I did not have the same system startup issue as a result. You can install the BS version from the BearStart version, but ignore the BearStart program. At least for now, I have attached the BSLoader below to this post. You will probably want to create a shortcut to BSLoader to your desktop and remove any shortcut to the actual BearShare Test program. Oh and I would recommend setting both BSLoader and BS to Run as Admin. within properties and perhaps BS as XP SP3 compatibility. You will probably want a hostiles blocklist also. I updated them couple days ago if you're interested. So in summary, seems the problem is neither the BS program or the BSLoader, but the installer they came with. So with this in mind, either File_Girl or I can try putting a new installer together. File_Girl may need to update her installer software to cater for Windows 8, I updated mine a week or so ago. As for Windows 8, well only first few hours of use. But accidentally click on something and it can be hard to get back to where you were lol. A severe lack of back buttons or options. At some stage I might get rid of some of that internet hyper trash lol. And the so-called side menu is often difficult to get to show itself. A bit of tongue in cheek humor. Edit: just one issue, BS suddenly stopped working out of the blue after about an hour, so I was forced to restart. But I lost internet connection minutes later so that might have been related. Edit again: I have thrown together an installer for the BS and BSLoader which includes basic settings file (including forced ultrapeer) and a connection file. See below. Edit yet again, I packaged this BearShare 5.1Beta (all Win,32+64bit (new).zip with the BS installer. This one has BSLoader shortcut abilities for the installer.

| OK I've fixed the BSLoader installer with shortcut abilities. Finally figured it out after 4 months of trying to get Windows installers to create shortcuts. lol  I will remove the above attachment since it's not needed now. Also note that the above link to the BearShare program installer is a dynamic link. It could change within months. Best to get the download links from the top of http://www.gnutellaforums.com/host-c...bearshare.html in future.  |
