SHAREAZA OLD APPS DOWNLOAD

It does work like a torrent client though. There are many other interesting features to Shareaza, like having remote access to it via a browser window, but since the main feature is essentially obsolete, why bother? FeaturesĪs you might imagine, I cannot recommend Shareaza, unless you really have a problem with using the by now traditional BitTorrent peer-to-peer system. It's a shame that you can't configure it to work in this way. The sharing model that Shareaza uses is more suited to a local network environment, like an office building. That is fine, even commendable, but I don't see the point of it. The developers of Shareaza pride themselves in having created a completely free application without resorting to ads or inserting sneaky spyware malware.

That's because the Download folder gets shared on the network by default. Shareaza assumes that your default Downloads folder is an open book. One other aspect that I found rather distasteful is the default sharing settings.

So essentially you need to check back to the search window and see whether anything is changed As this process is P2P exclusively, there is no index page to at least give you a hint of what might be out there. This suggests to me that Shareaza simply searches in real time through what is currently shared by the connected users. To be specific, the results show up rather late but continue to appear if you leave the search tab open. Although advertised as using BitTorrent as part of the search algorithm, actual searches behave in such a weird way that it makes me doubt the validity of the claim. Shareaza is not a lightning fast BitTorrent client nor does it use a tracking service. And using Shareaza will make you appreciate torrents even more.ĭon't get your hopes up. Looking back in time to the first attempts at Internet peer-to-peer file sharing systems like the old Napster or eDonkey, we can only marvel at the grandiose advancement that BitTorrent represents.
