I use it & like it. But KL k++ is still the best.

Have to be honest I haven’t heard of until now.

If you haven’t already, always a good place to start for pros & cons Download.com User Reviews (http://download.com.com/3302-2166-10184385.html?tag=lst)

I have just downloaded and installed then. kinda has an XP look about it.

Shareaza&#39;s official website says its Ad/Spyware free and that it uses the Gnutella network.
Just ran Adaware & Spybot and neither found anything suspicious. So doesn’t seem to be anything to worry about on that front.

If you find what you want and its fast well go for it, I personally like to have 2 P2P apps, for finding those rare files.
but Kazaa Lite cant be beaten, mainly because of the amount of people who use it

So in short, doesn’t appear to be anything dodgy about this P2P.
Maybe the best things in life are free :lol:

i have it installed, and it&#39;s ok. there&#39;s no spyware or anything on it. the only problem with it is content. You&#39;ll find a lot less music and stuff then on kazaa. But it does have multiple searching, and you can also use it as a download manager.
and searching is also very slow compared to kazaa, because it&#39;s gnutella...

Thanks for all your input&#33;
I have k++ and it is the best.
What I meant about shareaza was that it was feature rich and yes it is very xp-ish or more like office xp.
This program is too nice and it&#39;s not fat or sluggish at all.
Yeah I checked for spyware too(none found).
I don&#39;t know maybe I&#39;m just paranoid.
It would be an Awesome program if it connected to fast track.
It&#39;s Sha-spicios.
