A multi-network file sharing client

Shareaza is a free and open-source peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing software for Windows. It connects to multiple networks, including Gnutella, Gnutella2, eDonkey2000, and BitTorrent, allowing you to search and download files from different sources simultaneously. The software features an integrated media player, a customizable interface, and advanced search options.

Written in C++, Shareaza offers a decentralized way of file sharing without relying on a single server. It supports magnet links, metadata previews, and bandwidth management tools. Designed for both casual users and advanced P2P enthusiasts, it provides a versatile platform for finding and downloading various types of digital content efficiently.

Shareaza supports multiple P2P networks, enabling you to access a range of shared files. Unlike single-network clients, it can search across Gnutella, Gnutella2, eDonkey2000, and BitTorrent simultaneously, increasing the chances of finding rare or less common files. It also includes features such as intelligent queuing, multi-source downloading, and automatic file hashing for data integrity. The built-in media player allows you to preview audio and video files before completing downloads.

Connect to everything

The user interface is customizable, offering different skins, layouts, and settings for organizing downloads. It supports magnet links and torrent files, making it a flexible tool for modern file-sharing needs. It also includes an integrated chat system, allowing you to communicate within the network. It can be configured for bandwidth control, prioritizing, or limiting download speeds to balance internet usage.

It filters harmful files and provides encryption options, P2P networks inherently carry risks such as malware and copyright infringement. It does not host or verify content, so you must ensure you download legally shared files. Additionally, the development has slowed in recent years, and while it remains functional, it lacks frequent updates. It continues to be a capable P2P client for multi-network sharing.

Your P2P toolkit

Shareaza is a free and open-source peer-to-peer client that supports multiple networks, making it handy for users looking for extensive search capabilities. Its customizable interface, multi-source downloads, bandwidth control, and built-in media player enhance the file-sharing experience. An integrated chat system allows for communication within the network. However, while its reliance on decentralized networks poses security risks and lacks frequent updates, it remains a versatile tool for multi-network file-sharing software.
