Ok, I have seen many people say, oh shareaza takes way to long to connect to g1. Well, im sorry folks, im about to tell you step by step, how to make shareaza connect to G1 just as fast as limewire, in only a few very simple steps!

Shareaza Beta versions (daily builds) support UHC for G1 now just like LimeWire!

1. Go to this page http://shareaza.com/daily/ and download the latest installer version.

2. Install the file after you downloaded it.

3. Once shareaza is open, hit the "F9" key on the keyboard. This will bring up the "Discovery Services" window.

4. Look for a link in this window that starts with "uhc:blablabla....."

5. If you DID see a link starting with "uhc:...." then you are ready to go! If not, move to the next step.

6. You must delete all the links in this window to force shareaza to put the default list back. To make this easy, you can select the first link in the list and hold the SHIFT key and then select the last one. This will select the complete list at one time, then you can right click it and select "Remove Hosts" and the default list will appear in place of the old list you just deleted. You should now see at least one link starting with "uhc:..." in the list.

That is it! You should now be able to connect to G1 (Gnutella1)/LimeWire very quickly and easily.

Please Sticky this untill the next stable release of shareaza is made with the UHC support.

I bet you that Shareaza Gnutella has collapsed and you do not know it. Only Edonkey network works since 6 months ago!!!!!!!

Ok. i've done everything. i've queryed the Gweb whatever and it still isnt connecting. i used to be able to connect to shareaza and download easy.

wtf.
i have no music downloaded, cause limewire pro sucks too.
help?

Use Soulseek for music and Emule Plus for video. Shareaza Gnutella stinks these days- doesnt work on windows 2000 or windows XP (fresh installs). Used to KICK ***. Spec:
*P4 2.6ghz
*windows XP
*broadband 1Mb download, upload 15 kB/s

(Limewire is worst of all because at least shareaza has edonkey and isnt infested with adware)
(Shareaza seems to be untalked about)

If you want the best of gnutella again try the last uncrippled version of BearShare, 5.1.0b25.
It was a beta so there was no adware, the download limits were cranked way
up beyond reason and you can flip it into UP mode at will. All the BearShare
insiders still use this one.

It's not for you to offer alpha's to the great public
Next beta will come out soon.
If public tests result in better G1, so be it.
If not, then we'll have to work more

Actually, it's an old beta which we've been using since 2005, when BearShare
was taken over by the RIAA stooges formerly called iMesh. It's still faster than
anything out there and probably will stay that way.

Since it was abandoned, it's for me to offer and you to try.

bearshare beta seems to work very well! Thanks

AaronWalkhouse, I referred to SwordOfWar

That was 5 months ago. Have they gotten it to work with gnutella yet?
