Hi Kimberly,
I have been a user of BearShare 5.25 for a long time and know about the
keyboard commands. The problem is that I was not given any choice as to
whether I upgraded or not. I would like to go back to version 5.25, but
it
is not possible unless you know something I don't.
If you know of some way to get around using version
6, please let me know. Thanks for your help.

That version of Bearshare is I think 5 something, and it works with JFW 7,
but not 8.
Some hot keys for it are:
Control key plus 1 will give a search box, then control 2 wil give you
your
list of downloads and their state of download (such as done, waiting,
etc),
control 3 I think gives you your Bearshare folders. I can't remember what
control 4 does right now.
After you do control 1, enter something into the search box, and press the
search button, you can hit F6 to switch to the list of choices which have
been found from your search. Arrow through these, and press control D
when
you find something you want to download. Then hit control number row 2 to
move to the list of downloads. Also check control 3 and control 4, as I
don't remember exactly what they do at the moment. HTH

Hi,
Some alternatives to bear share can be found at
http://www.jfwlite.com/
go to the programs page. Press your h key a few times and you will find a
heading of "music sharing applications". See if something there is what
you
are looking for.
There you will find a direct download for an older version of bear share.
I have heard that the newest version is not so screen reader friendly.
Also, if you or anyone wishes to try winMX, and needs some additional
help
I have a tutorial written for it. Just write me off list and I will be
happy
to send it to you.

Hi List,
What is with this new version of BearShare? All of the sudden they want
more info about you than the IRS plus a photo! Not only that, JFW has a
terrible time with reading part of the installation/sign up screens. I
am
not going to give them the kind of info they want, so is there another
choice for file sharing programs?
