Shareaza 2.4 presents almost 900 changes from 9 months of solid dedication under difficult circumstances.

Windows 98/Me support has been discontinued -and Vista enhanced- with multi-generation upgrades in underlying platforms.

TorrentWizard is now bundled, new IRC Chat provides easy support and community, and countless new and improved features are both subtly throughout and unseen.

This is a bug fix release version. Some optimizations were
made, Win9x support was reviewed and serious bugs were fixed.
It's the last version of Shareaza with Win9x support.

All users are urged to upgrade to this version because of very
important security fixes.

64 bit builds are now available from the Shareaza homepage
