Shareaza is dead to me..
Well not totally, but I have stopped hailing it as my first choice in file sharing applications. Shareaza is a (now) open source Peer-2-Peer (p2p) client that supports multiple networks and protocols including the gnutella network and also torrent networks.
I have always been impressed with Shareaza because of the quality of their releases, and care that is put into their website etc.
I have now realized that it is just not meeting my file sharing needs because of its current lack for uPnP, which is able to automatically setup port forwarding on my router, and its slow speed. I have also decided to use a torrent application for torrents, and a index searching p2p client for regular p2p.
I have switched to the following torrent applicaiton
– uTorrent
�Torrent is an efficient and feature rich BitTorrent client for Windows sporting a very small footprint. It was designed to use as little cpu, memory and space as possible while offering all the functionality expected from advanced clients.
Try it out. It is not open source but it is free and is also very fast and small.
For the time, I have also switched to Limewire.
