Download Shareaza 2.0.3.0 beta

There is a thread in the Shareaza forums announcing version 2.0.3 beta. Sharaza is a P2P program with which files can be shared over the internet. It uses the EDonkey2000, Gnutella, Gnutella2, and BitTorrent networks. The developers believe this is the last version of the 2.0 family and hope to release Sharaza 2.1 soon.
