I have been using Bearshare for a few years now, and up until now have absolutely loved it. It was a free Peer to Peer program for downloading and backing up of music, video, pictures, etc.
Well, they have now upgraded their software and are requiring a subscription fee, which isn't a problem at all. I don't mind one bit paying for my downloads, but I DO have a big problem with much slower download speeds, and very limited search results. It was normal for me to see over 10mbps download speeds (I have a 12meg connection) when downloading multiple files with multiple connections. Well, the new version of Bearshare only allows 1 connection per file, and doesn't find anywhere NEAR as many files when doing a search, and, to me, this just isn't worth paying for. I rarely see anything over 1mbps downloads now.
Since I have been so disappointed by Bearshare with their "new and improved" software, I went ahead and downloaded Limewire Pro (paid for their subscription) because they advertised "Turbocharged download speeds" and it also came highly recommended by quite a few friends. Well.....I don't like that one either. Again, its nowhere NEAR as fast as Bearshare used to be, and doesn't find as search results as the original BS either.
What do I do? Is there anything out there that competes with the old Bearshare?? I want fast downloads and tons of search results, and I don't mind paying for it. | |

I haven't used any P2P software like that for awhile. Have you tried BitTorrent? | |

Yeah, I used to have Limewire, but removed it when I started college. A friend of mine got busted and had to remove the offending files from his computer or face legal charges. You can guess which option he took.

I use Itunes... I pay for my music but the songs take all of 15 seconds to download. I don't worry about getting caught
