You're gonna have to change your mind soon. This just keeps getting better and better.


Easier, faster user interface: Shareaza is now the only P2P software (to our knowledge) which can offer two different user interfaces so you can choose the one that's easiest for you. If you like the familiar "tab" layout with a page for Search, Library and Transfers, go with it. Or if you want separate windows like the original Shareaza had, you can use that mode instead. Shareaza suits everyone!

Full Browser and URI integration: Gnutella users have been talking about this for a long time, and Shareaza brings it to life. You can now place a link on a web page (or other document) which when clicked will launch or open Shareaza and automatically search for and download the selected content. It's that simple! Shareaza supports P2P standard "magnet:" URIs, along with network specific "gnutella://" URIs, and several more just in case.

For example, here are two links to the latest Shareaza. If you have it installed, you'll be able to click these:

magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:Y32Z6URUUYEY4AGRGGU5DDRCDQXXGVFW&dn=Shar eaza1201.exe

gnutella://sha1:Y32Z6URUUYEY4AGRGGU5DDRCDQXXGVFW/Shareaza1201.exe/

Shareaza shows a friendly "what do you want to do with this link" dialog, where you can choose to download the file directly, or just do a search for it. There's also a neat new facility for copying URLs for selected files in your library or search results, where you can choose the URI format you want and copy it by pointing and clicking. The direct download dialog is still there, too.

GWebCache support: Shareaza now supports the web-based distributed host discovery system, for faster and more reliable connections. This is part of the new integrated discovery services manager which advanced users can access through the Discovery Services window.

Countless suggestions implemented: Every suggestion for improving Shareaza is noted and considered. As a result, every new version contains a large number of small changes which are too numerous to list here, but each add to the power and performance of the application as a whole. Everything is fine tuned to match users' expectations.

Intelligent managed searches: Automatic network friendly researching and refinement produces more search results without "hammering". Leave a search window open indefinitely and the results stay fresh. Download source queries are intelligently managed.

More efficient library building: Shareaza now employs a more efficient library building mechanism when it calculates file hashes and acquires metadata from common file formats such as asf, exe, gif, jpg, mp3, mpg, wma, wmv, etc.

Smaller download: Shareaza is now only 360K, almost 3 times smaller than it was before so you can get it faster. The download is also shared by default, to help other users obtain Shareaza directly over the network.
