I get his message:
.\GLibraryWatchDb.cpp (#176) Fatal Error: Unable to load library database.

Reason: Generic Failure

BearShare will automatically attempt to create a new database when it is restarted. Your old database files have been saved for possible diagnosis. Contact technical support for more information.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

SO....what do i do?

you have corrupted the .db files
go to bearshare folder then db folder and delete or copy to another folder all the " LATEST " lib*.db files ONLY ( NOT THE LAST GOOD LOAD FILES OR OTHERS). reboot and all will work lol

probably not what should be done but it works. you may lose a little of some of the files but better than the lot

PS: files that no longer load and show in the console in red, go in2 your part files folder delete the .dat file and then change the .dat.bak file to .dat and restart bearshare. god knows why this isn't done automatically when a file will not start

hope this helps
also if you keep getting blue screens when searching/ browsing with bearshare and your running zonealarm uninstall it and run a registry cleaner. guarantee this will fix. i'm using kerio with no probs now

Beashare is simply a Gnutella client. On Mac the options are Acquisition, which is, by far, the best gnutella client out there! Or you can use the good old standby... Limewire.
