sorry for not responding to your inquirery with JAWS 8, but I am in digest mode so your message re: JAWS 8 and bearshare appeared in the same digest as my response, so I didn't see the message before hand. as to the problem you are having, this seems to be a problem with JAWS 8. you may have noticed that when you try to arrow through the results that your computer dings at you. I don't know what has changed in JAWS 8 but something has. however, someone once suggested to perform the selection command shift+downarrow when going through the results, and then hitting the spacebar to select what you want to download. but even that has been a little flaky for me, as it still didn't necessarily read all the results especially if it was a long list. so, I would stick with JAWS 7 if you can.
