Sharetastic Review

Sharetastic is a straightforward, solid file sharing program that simply knows what a user wants – it loads up exceptional features such as ghost ratings, a completely user-configurable queue area, and multinetwork.

This application supports Gnutella2, Gnutella, eDonkey, and BitTorrent networks. You’ll have no problem installing it (in seconds) and then managing it – searching, checking the network status, customizing the interface couldn’t be easier.

Based on the popular p2p client Shareaza, which in the meanwhile has been acquired by the industry’s trade group Discordia, this application keeps the basic features and comes with some of its own in terms of functionality preserving what the former has lost.

You’ll get extremely quick search results and the possibility to preview files as they download due to an integrated media player for common audio and video formats Sharetastic includes. Sharetastic was developed with optimum performance from any number of sources in mind. The download queue is managed automatically but users can choose to operate manually and change the status of files themselves. A very complex file-management system is made up of folders variedly divided and categorized.

Sharetastic has a neat interface and having all things so reasonably arranged. It has an upper and lower tool bar. The former is all about network connections, views, tools and help documentation while the lower graphical toolbar is actually your best friend when it comes to navigation functions like “home”, “library”, “media player”, “search” and “transfers”.

Just hit the “Home” button and you’ll see – all the options right there for you to see and best manage them.

Strong Points
Does better what Shareaza was supposed to do. In terms of ease and user-friendliness Sharetastic gets ahead of many of p2p clients currently available

Weak Points
Could take a few days till you get accustomed to file-management system.

Overall
The application offers you much more information about the files and machines on the network than many of its “brothers” and, moreover it does a far better job at tracking the status of your many downloads. Sharetastic focuses on intuitiveness (its layout proves it) and stability.
