I used to be a big Shareaza fan, but after learning Azureus I gotta admit it is a much better bit torrent client. Shareaza is better for people new to file-sharing, it's a lot easier to use/learn....but Azureus gets the job done a LOT better.

i dont care for shareza, last time i tried it, it wanted to take over alot of defaults on my system, and no matter what i did, couldnt restore some of them without uninstalling it. as for azureus.. i like burst better:) i agree shareza is better for beginners.. could very well be the next kazaa i guess.. emules not too bad though.

Yeh, i had the same prob with Shareaza assuming control of all sorts of things. After uninstalling it, it still didnt give permission to open torrent files back, so now i have to open them manually each time using my current client (ie: right click/open with....) and i still get error messages. No amount of registry tweaking has solved the problem. There are better programs out there.
