BearShare is a popular Gnutella client software package from a company called [Free Peers, Inc.]?; the software allows its users to share files directly from person to person. It is commonly used to download MP3 files, but is different from Napster in that it allows the transfer of other kinds of files as well and does not require traffic through a central server. BearShare runs under Microsoft Windows and is not free software in the sense of GNU, although it is free to download.
