Question

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate Shareaza?

Answer 1

4 its not really that great

go with emule which is the best but hardest to use

or go with frostwire which is easy and good for music

Answer 2

Difficult, as I am a Shareaza contributor myself.

In the first place, make sure that you are using the real Shareaza, and NOT version 4.

The one and only homepage is shareaza.sf.net!

This client supports multiple networks.

Support for Gnutella1 has been greatly improved in the latest builds (check the dailies), but Shareaza still lacks its BitTorrent support and doesn't make use of libtorrent like uTorrent does.

Altho Shareaza is the ideal tool for more advanced users, it might be slower than other clients because of all the features it includes.

The new Panthera client which will replace Shareaza in the near future, will be greatly improved on these bases.

Panthera will even be multiplatform (meaning it'll work under Linux, Mac and Windows).

If you are a more advanced user, Shareaza is perfect for you (but use the latest dailies tho!).

If you are a noob, go with a client like Lime-/FrostWire.
