BearShare is a Windows file sharing program that lets you, your friends, and everyone in the world share files! Built on Gnutella technology, BearShare provides a simple, easy to use interface combined with a powerful connection and search engine that puts thousands of different files in easy reach! BearShare was designed from the ground up to take full advantage of all the capabilities of the Windows operating system, from the active monitoring of shared directories, to all of the Windows-specific user interface details that the majority of users expect (like minimizing to the system tray while downloads are in progress). Some of the many features are: Keyword highlighting for search results, Multiple active searches, Resume incomplete downloads and uploads, Graphical progress display for transfers, Multiple shared directories ...and more! A new family filter feature allows you to filter inappropriate content. Capable and well designed, but comes with annoying popup ads and a ton of bundled software (optional install) on your desktop.
