Just thought i'd say, I use Shareaza, and as brilliant the software is, it does cause no end to trouble. Ive posted on here several times about my STB dropping connection, but the light remaining on, forcing a reboot. Im now 99% sure this is Shareaza. I don't know why, but it only happens with Shareaza, almost always does now, sometimes within a few mins, sometimes a few hours. I've never noticed the TV downstairs freezing, but i'm using the 4000 box, if that makes a difference. Not only that, it eats up my computer's memory like Pacman, and sometimes when I close it, it messes up the net connection altogether on my computer, forcing a computer reboot as well as a STB one.

I love it to bits, but I wish it was better coded. I'm trying to find a suitable alternative (spyware free), but nothing even comes close.

EDIT: I'm in East London, ex-C&W area. Could I request a SACM? Especially as I have the prone-to-overheating-box? I seem to rememeber I can't on ex-C&W. I've got the purple on-screen-menu if that helps.
