message: I've tidied the article a little. The features list still needs completely rewritten. Chris Cunningham 22:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As does the Controversy section.  It's unclear which bans are still in effect, which bugs persist, and someone has littered the section with justifiable  templates.  Also, the final para seems to imply that Kazaa Lite Pro is a version of Shareaza (?!?), which it certainly is not. 12.22.250.4 21:18, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  When the lock is lifted, I'll write another section that describes how it can download from other networks and so. Without copying from the feature webpage. Neglacio (talk) 16:52, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

text:  Okay, I added some stuff. If you want to trim it, adjust or add things, feel free, but please make a response why ;) Neglacio (talk) 18:12, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've tidied the language and style up a bit. I've tagged it for further work, we could work on the language used and we seriously need secondary sources. Chris Cunningham (talk) 20:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks to anyone who tidied it up! My English isn't my mother language, so sorry ;) About the references, well, I can't find any references which wouldn't be self published, since I don't see why someone else would just make a blogpost about this or something like that (talking about features).

message: Whenever I do a search on Shareaza, I get tons of results offered from people with usernames on Wikipedia.  Has Shareaza all of a sudden become the favourite file-sharing tool of Wikipedians? --  Denelson83  20:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The eTomi article is small and repeats a lot of the information available in the Shareaza article.  I think the articles could be merge with a section on eTomi and have eTomi redirect to Shareaza. Bpringlemeir 21:54, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

message: the website at shareaza dotcom has been non-functional for several days. is this software dead? 05:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The last commit on SourceForge.net happened on October 24, 2007, so it is actively developed just the site is down. 217.26.163.26 12:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The site is hosted on server space donated by one of the developers. While this means that the server is pretty inexpensive, it also means the server is pretty unreliable. As a result, sometimes it can be down for extended periods of time. -FrYGuY 05:30, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

text: The development still continues! You can take a look at the shareaza wikipedia page and follow the 'nightly builds' link, or go too the shareaza sourceforge project page. Wout000 15:14, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Yep. They're site is still down from October it seems, but they came out with version 2.3.0.0 recently so they're still working at it it seems. 24.78.224.106 (talk) 02:25, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: shareaza dead?

message: A Sourceforge forum comment now claims Shareaza dotcom is a "scam site". There does indeed seem to be a completely different "Shareaza V4" application on this site billing itself as a music service.
How do you define a scam site? It's different from the previous (v2) version of shareaza, but unlike scam sites it's on the official domain, does not ask for any money and seems to be sanctioned by the RIAA. The SourceForge version has been sued for copyright infringment and does not own the shareaza dotcom URL. If anything, there is a rift in the Shareaza development. Shareaza dotcom is certainly not a scam site.
:However you call it it violating the license under which the original developer has published it (i.e. GNU GPL), as long as you didn't prove that they are copyright owners of Shareaza, which is extremely unlikely, they are indeed illegal hijackers of the software. 217.26.163.26 (talk) 07:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yep, they do make money of it. ShareazaV4.exe installs spyware, which is being payed for. And they do not own the GPL, since they don't include the license and they do not give the source free. For more information and truth about this, check the Links section beneath.
