“Search for, download, and share all types of files on P2P networks”
by Nick Mead
Shareaza started out life as the legendary Gnutella network but today is one of the most realistic competitors to eMule.
Shareaza is a completely free peer to peer (P2P) file sharing system. The program features Multi-Network Support which basically means it can connect up to 4 separate Peer-to-Peer networks at the same time meaning more hits and faster downloads.
You can download and upload from the EDonkey2000, Gnutella, BitTorrent and Gnutella2 (G2) networks. The latest release features something called "Collections" too. Collections basically group previews of album covers, descriptions, and song lists all in one complete package. It's designed to help you discover similar music to that you already like although in reality, it's not that useful. The interface is very simple to use - very much like eMule. All the search results are displayed clearly including file type, size and estimated download time. You can also choose to filter searches by file type such as picture, video or software.
Shareaza is one of the best P2P networks out there although it still pales in comparison to eMule in terms of results and download speeds.
