Shareaza is a Windows–based peer-to-peer client which supports the Gnutella, Gnutella2, EDonkey Network, and BitTorrent network protocols and which can handle magnet links, ed2k links, Piolet links, and the now deprecated Gnutella links. Shareaza was originally developed as closed-source freeware by Michael Stokes, and is now open-source under the GPL.In late 2002, Stokes introduced Gnutella2, a reworked version of Gnutella with many fundamental updates to the protocol, and added support for it to Shareaza. Users of Shareaza (along with Azureus and LimeWire) have frequently been targeted in internet scams such as Etomi that demand a "membership fee" for use of the software.

As a client, Shareaza is a clean and comfortable P2P client that takes little in the way of system resources. As a network, Gntuella2 is certainly not as impressive as mega-networks like eDonkey2000, BitTorrent, Ares Galaxy or DirectConnect. But it is not designed to compete with such monstrous communities, at least not yet. Shareaza appears to be a work in progress and does have the advantage of being a full client without any spyware/adware other restrictions. While Shareaza does receive a mixed review, we conclude that we look forward to the future of Shareaza and Gnutella2.(for the complete review: http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=573)
