Software Update: Shareaza 2.5.2.0

Spread the love

The Shareaza Development Team released version 2.5.2.0 of its eponymous p2p file sharing program last Saturday. Shareaza allows files to be shared across Edonkey2000, Gnutella, Gnutella2, and Bittorrent networks. This update comes a little over a year after version 2.4.0.0 and contains mostly bug fixes. Since the version was released on October 31, it starts with a special Halloween skin, which fortunately can be easily turned off. In version 2.5.1.0, support for older processors has been dropped due to the use of the SSE instruction set. In this release, in addition to an SSE2 version, there is also a standard version that can be used on older ones:

Shareaza 2.5.2.0

Shareaza 2.5.2.0 is a maintenance release and no longer requires SSE in the standard version. In addition to the standard release, a build with Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) optimizations has been added. The optimized build requires at least an Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon 64 processor.
