Shareaza 1.9 Beta

[Champion]

"The next major version of Shareaza is here -- almost. As promised, the Shareaza 1.9 public beta is available now (http://www.shareaza.com/download/). The mysterious two new networks were in fact eDonkey2000 (eMule), known for its efficient sharing and large file selection, and BitTorrent, known for fast access to very new files. These are now available in addition to Shareaza's premiere Gnutella2 network and the legacy Gnutella1 network, giving you four P2P systems at your fingertips."........

remmember it&#39;s a beta version.

As far as link handling on the web setting Magnet, Gnutella, eDonkey 2000, BitTorrent & Piolet are mentioned. But as far as connected to under Network button there&#39;s only Gnutella 1, Gnutella 2 & eDonkey 2000. So where&#39;s the connect to BitTorrent & Piolet options?

So where&#39;s the connect to BitTorrent options?

When they buy a license for it.

So basically when hell freezes over :lol:

[Jibbler]

After playing around with this program, I realize how superior it is to kazaa in features. There is so much to play with once you get it all set up. B) B)

[Jibbler]

Has anyone been able to get any of their bittorrent links to work in Shareaza? I have been able to associate them, but I keep finding no sources. :huh:

[Krisman]

I installed it and associated it with bittorrent files and couldn&#39;t find any sources either.
Now I turned of associtation for it and reinstalled bittorrent and get an error message from windows saying it can&#39;t find the .torrent file although bit torrent still starts up and works fine.

Edit: I&#39;ve fixed that now I just removed every mention of shareaza having to do with bittorent from my registry.

[Champion]

I downloaded at .torrent file and double cliked at that file, after about 5 min, my download was going at 40kB/s.

[Jibbler]

Ok, it took some time, but I&#39;m finding sources for all my bittorent files that keep failing. This program is really amazing. For once, when you do a "global search", it actually searches all the networks you are connected to. Wow, what a concept. :huh:

[RealitY]

Funny, though I gave up on the bittorrent aspect. I also wonder does it stay open after completion, and I guess you can&#39;t see the upload rate, if it even does, I would hope so, or the point is defeated.

[Idan1986]

i don&#39;t like all in one progs they never work right.... <_<
always just one prog working right and the other progs just erroring me and shit.... (in this case isn&#39;t connecting to somewhere or dl something)

and specialy gnutella network clients
i thinks its a waste of time and power (of the dev..)

[Unlimited]

Does it really have files...I dont find any so i uninstallit.

Unlike the original bittorrent, you don&#39;t have to "keep the file open" for others to continue to download. It becomes part of your shared files, and it still available on the bittorrent network for anyone else. I would say this is a huge improvement over the previous functions of that program. :)

[Schmiggy_JK23]

are sure about that jibby? i read the shareaza forums, that it only uploads to others, while its left in your download menu???

[Jibbler]

I browse their forums from time to time. I&#39;m actually a little unclear about this. I have a bittorent file in my download broswer that I&#39;ve trying to finish. Sometimes I go on, and there are no sources, other times there are two or three. This leads me to believe that as users go on/off the network the file becomes shared again when they come back online. This is only my best guess, as I have yet to download a full bittorrent file thru Shareaza. I&#39;ll keep you posted. :)

[RealitY]

Seems nobody knows at the moment, maybe it can only upload at completion or not at all, anyway f**k it. You cannot swarm sources from bittorent with g1, g2 or eMule (that I know). So bittorent files appear to only swarm themselves anyway. So what&#39;s the point. I have seen files swarm a single download between the other 3, which is great, but never with the bittorent, so whats the benifit. I think this idea was just hype, as bittorent is an open network (to my knowledge), and probably cost very little to add in, if anything. Though, if the file can be accessed during download and whenever the client is connected, even after completion, thus seeding the file in a better manner, then thats great, anything short of that I consider a rip off of what bittorent is about and refuse to support it, and will continue to use bittorent individually.


It would have been ideal to unite Fast Track, but as Paul stated they would have to aquire a license, so it would probably never happen. Although maybe Fast Track could aquire eMule and allow swarming of files between both and maybe G1 or G2, I would actually prefer that to Shareaza as Fast Track still seems to remain faster than all of the of the others put together at Shareaza.

I thought Kazaa was open source, meaning the source code for the program was available for others to work with, hense KazaaLite. Do other programers have to obtain a licence before their client can access the fasttrack network? :huh:

Not to my knowledge, Fast Track is licenced and encrypted, there have been many that have tried to access the code in the biz to understand more, though to no success, to possibly agrue any centralized features and argue shutdown.

I forget, though one of the others on Fast Track stopped working and there was a lot of speculation about their not being decentralized and dropping during the Fast Track 1.5 upgrade, turned out they had not paid their dues, I believe it was Morpheus. KaZaalite is just software that has been hacked and even has disclaimer upon installtion that is illegal to use, I hear the folks at Sharman have talked about going after it, but whats the point, as there should be honor amongst theives.

I also edited above...

I&#39;m downloading with the beta now. There are some bugs, but for the most part, I like it alot. Reality, I&#39;m still trying to get an answer on the bittorrent thing. The forums were down at shareaza last night when I tried to get the details. :)

[RealitY]

I couldn&#39;t find an answer either, seems a mystery, for the moment.

By the way have you checked this page http://ei.kefro.st/projects/btclient/, regarding a new bittorent client.

[Jibbler]

Regarding our previous discussion on bittorrent, and how the downloads work in Shareaza. I took this from the Shareaza forums.




After you finish the file, Shareaza will still share with other BitTorrent users until you clear the file from your download panel. So you might want to turn off auto-clear. Since most users don&#39;t have "auto-clear" on, and don&#39;t ussually upkeep their download panel that often, Shareaza should be a good partisipant in the BitTorrent community.


Well, now we know. :)

This thread is for the 1.9 beta, stay focused. :huh:

Now, onward and upward. I have noticed a problem with Emule downloads in Shareaza. I&#39;ve been trying to find a file, M2 - Centropy disk 3, you get the idea. I popped the hash into Shareza, waited a week, and the file was only 20% done. I was really dissapointed with the speed. So I closed down Shareaza, opened emule, and entered the same hash. 24 hours later, my file is 100% complete.

What we&#39;ve learned is that emule downloads are much faster in Emule than Shareaza. Emule rewards uploaders differently than in the Shareaza beta. Interesting. <_<

[vivitron 15]

The file 1.8.8.3 is the 1.9 beta, as advertised on their website, (but when i installed it, its 1.8.8.2 :huh: )

before shareaza user only could download from edonkey users. but now all edk clients support shareaza, so that mean that you will get faster download and more results... you will not only download from edk network, but you can also download same file from others network, if it find it.

When you are using Basic mode, is cpu about 5-15%&#33;&#33;&#33; before it was 65-85%, this basic mode is new feature.
