Question Which gnutella clients use SpyWare?
Can someone tell me which gnutella clients use spyware and which do not? I'm a gnutella newbie and I don't want to use a client with Spyware.

Thanks!

These clients DO have spyware? I will avoid them. Thanks!

If bearshare was installed without savenow and net.net, is there anything else in it which is spyware?

Hi God!

No!

The installation is optional...

In Limewire the installation of cydoor isnīt optional yet - but this will change in future...

Does anybody knows this about swap nut?

@ ahcollin

My favourite client... I use many...

Limewire, under Linux it is free of spyware...
Xolox
Peeranha (it is an alpha which I test - but very good!)
I will have a look on the new Gnucleus beta too...

I have DSL, I like fast downloads...

and I use some other non Gnutella clients like eDonkey...

My suggestion is pick one or two Gnutella clients and one of each other net! Each net has his strenght!

Do you have a 56k modem?

Then try WinMX and Gnotella too... they have no multi source download yet...

Have a look:

http://www.zeropaid.com/php/pc_prog....where_type=win

The bearshare ratings are faked, but the zeropaid crew is reworking the rating system!

Try them!

If you are not sure about the spytools:

Do never install any ads...

and check it with ad-aware:

Choose the client you like!

If you have questions... you know where you can find me!

Limewire PRO does not have spyware, but you will have to pay the 6 bucks.
