Wow.. that was quick! Thanks for the heads up, hackattack142 :D
Hopefully, my connection tips have just become redundant. :lol:

Good riddance to 1.8.10.2 and it's crappy issues.

Edit: typo

I asked at their forum, and it seems that they have updated the Known Hosts Lists so they will appear on the network, and this will improve the performance on the G2 network, and that&#39;s why people should upgrade to this new version. ;)

Wow, my torrents haave also sped up since I updated. This new version is awesome. And I love the look of the site, looks a lot mroe professional and clean than the k-lite site.

Although it has been released.I&#39;d suggest backing up your files, because some users have had some problems. :o

However, from some inside information Shareaza 1.9 Final was supposed to be released with the new site/forum design. And so 1.9 Final is not far away, but sure to check their site often. :D
