Shareaza Wiki:Community Portal

Download

The most important page for users of the project is the download page located at http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/?id=download. For security reasons (such as Fakeaza), we strongly recommend downloading Shareaza only from this SourceForge site, and not any 3rd party site, at least until you become an experienced user, aware of some of the reasons to download from other locations (eg. daily debug builds for beta testing).

Please be aware that shareaza.com is NOT the official site of the open source project Shareaza any longer. It does NOT host any legitimate Shareaza software. We strongly suggest to avoid that website and let your friends know about this, as the danger is significant.

Official Website

The official Shareaza web site is located at http://shareaza.sourceforge.net. From there, you can connect to all aspects of the Shareaza community.

Support

The Shareaza forums are located at https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/shareaza, where you may get or give more in-depth help and advice. Registration is free.

You can also use Shareaza IRC. Server connection details, links, etc., are located here: http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/?id=support. You can use the built-in Shareaza IRC client (press F12 in Shareaza to display it), the java applet located at the above mentioned site, or any other suitable IRC client (eg. Firefox with the ChatZilla add-on).

Additional Information

The article about Shareaza on Wikipedia is updated by Shareaza developers and supporters.

Keep in mind that because Shareaza has experienced several direct attacks (including the misappropriation of shareaza.com) since December 2007, you should be careful to download Shareaza only from the official download page.

As Shareaza is Free and Open Source Software, the community portal has been created and is maintained by volunteers from the Shareaza community. You are welcome to help.

You can also see Link Tank page where links to Shareaza project and related or interesting pages are gathered.
