Ahh, very sad to see uTorrent at 17th place.

I consider that utorrent shud be placed in the first position given the simple interface and advanced features and reliability of it.

Forgot some of the Japanese P2P (I am into anime so I use them alot).

Perfect Dark
Share
Winny

Only bad thing with these programs is they can be difficult to set up and it REQUIRES you to have 20-40GB of space set aside for uploads.

Also, to add to my comment. Download.com is a trusted site by millions of people. Search for Shareaza…What comes up? The REAL LEGIT VERSION (version 2.4.0) which links to: http://shareaza.sourceforge.net

Please see for yourself:
http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=shareaza&tag=srch&searchtype=downloads&filterName=platform%3DWindows&filter=platform%3DWindows

Also, check out SiteAdvisor, Shareaza.com has a really bad rating – mostly compiled with the comments of “FAKE” and “HIJACKED DOMAIN”.

Please let people know. This is a serious matter.

The link to Shareaza website should be changed! It’s NOT the real website! Don’t you people learn!? Search the internet about it!
Even the download link – It points to the wrong download. It’s dangerous. I dare you to download the fake Shareaza and use it!

Note, also: Users that have Trend Micro installed will notice that the website, and download link, aren’t accessible as the website is blocked and classified “dangerous”. See, Trend Micro caught on to it, so why not everyone else? Please change the link. For some reason it really bothers me.

Okay, let’s just say a few ten thousand people are wrong, and it was the so called “real, no spyware, no adware, 100% free” version – which Shareaza has never used those words in ANY of their distributions – if it was “real”.. Why would such a program jump from version 2.x to version 4.. And to this date (2 months later).. Version 6? It’s not right. This link needs to be changed.

BearShare sold out to iMesh in the Summer of 2006 or so as part of their settlement with the music industry. Any BearShare installer downloaded since is based on iMesh re-skinned to look like the old BearShare.

Morpheus is dead. It should rank at the bottom. StreamCast (publishers of Morpheus) went bankrupt after its legal troubles with the recording industry.

The old BearShare should definitely rank above Shareaza, but the new BearShare should rank down at the bottom, only ahead of Morpheus.

You should mention that LimeWire supports both the Bittorrent and Gnutella protocols.

I can understand the grammar mistakes, as you’re probably not a native speaker. However, the terrible spelling is harder to dismiss. A spelling check before publishing wouldn’t kill you, would it? Have pride in your work and some personal standards that have to be met before slapping your name on something.

The link for Shareaza (www.shareaza.com) is not the legit website address, as stated in the official homepage (shareaza.sourceforge.net) the website had recently been overtaken by hackers – in which the fake version for download (version 6.0) contain viruses.. the real legit version at SourceForge is 2.4 is you follow Shareaza version history.

Do not download from Shareaza.com – instead: shareaza.sourceforge.net
