  BearShare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BearShare is a popular Gnutella-based file sharing application created by Free Peers, Inc. It runs under Microsoft Windows and comes in several versions, including an advertising supported version, a paid "Pro" version with no advertisements, and a Lite (stripped down) free version.
Alongside Morpheus_(computer_program) and LimeWire, Bearshare was seen as one of the forerunning Gnutella applications due to its wide implementation of Gnutella Developers Forum (GDF) proposals and stable networking.
On May 4, 2006, Free Peers agreed to pay $30 million in a settlement with the RIAA and transfer all their Bearshare-related assets to iMesh.

 BearShare Review
It seems as though BearShare is all about getting the user what they want, the files, and not the in-your-face design.
BearShare is run over the Gnutella network, which usually means it’s a pain to connect to because there is no central server listing all the users and files like Napster uses.
However, BearShare was able to connect quickly to the Gnutella network and I never once lost my connection.

BearShare, by all appearances, is exactly that kind of program, though the program - which really is just an interface providing simple access to the Gnutella network - is not without a few bugs.
BearShare has a function that automatically seeks out active IP addresses and connects the user to others on the Gnutella network who are sharing files.
One BearShare user who identified himself on the bulletin board as "Psychadelicdave," complained that, while BearShare does open up access to IP addresses automatically, it also tends to indicate that some IP addresses and many music files are available when they really are not.
