I don't know what the heck happened it was running smooth as butter
then the other day I got a pop up saying this version will no longer work please upgrade to latest version now and now I can't get any hosts to connect
just a flashing red light on (host connect)?
I even tried to install the old beta and Bearstart same issue
it can't be a firewall or port thing because Limewire works fine
any ideas? thanks in advance

I can't any version of the old versions to work. Limewire works okay. Please let me know when you find out how to fix this.

Thanks,

dwpoze

patience.....simple as that...as long as your ISP isn't blocking gnutella traffic you should get connected if you wait a while (and yes, it sometimes can take up to 15 minutes)

If you haven't been using it in awhile or you just installed it, then your host cache may have gone stale. Try refreshing it with this file: connect.zip
Just unzip it into C:\Program Files\BearShare\db with BearShare shut down, and then restart it.

Oh yeah, before I forget, try the version in this thread too, because you can shift it into ultrapeer mode,
which is much stronger at finding peers to connect with.
