About BeShare:
BeShare is a file sharing program, much like Napster or HotLine, but tuned to take advantage of BeOS's unique features. It's also an example of MUSCLE client programming, and includes source code and a MUSCLE programming tutorial.
BeShare is a BeOS-native file sharing program. It operates similarly to
other such programs (Napster, Hotline, etc) but with a few advantages:
- BeShare allows you to upload or download any type of file, not just mp3.
- When browsing files, you can see their attributes (similar to Be's
Tracker view)
- Your query is always "live", so if new files that match your query become
available, you will see them added to the results list right away (you
won't have to click "refresh" or anything first)
- BeShare includes a rudimentary chat mechanism for you social types.
- BeShare supports any number of simultaneous uploads and downloads in
parallel, but will serialize simultaneous file requests to any given
host for efficiency.
- BeShare connects to any MUSCLE server (see
http://www.lcscanada.com/muscle for details)
- BeShare comes with source, and serves as an example of how to write
a MUSCLE client.

Details about this version:
v1.60 - Added some localization support. BeShare now speaks
English, Spanish, Dutch, German, and Portuguese!
If you want another language added to BeShare, please email me.
(Thanks to Phantom, Zathros, BGA, and hoshy for translating)
- BeShare now reports the total byte count of the
displayed result set, in the title bar.
- Added some more irc-style commands, including /clear,
/start, /stop, /disconnect, /quit, and /help. Enter
/help for instructions on how to use them.
- Added "# Files shared" and "Connection speed" columns
to the users table. (Note: "# Files shared" will only
be set correctly if the user has BeShare 1.60 or above)
- When you change your name in the "Username" text box,
focus now automatically jumps to the chat text entry.
- Double clicking a file transfer box now launches
the file mentioned in the box, as if you had double-clicked it.
- Added a "history" function: using the arrow keys while the
chat text entry box has the focus allows you to review the
last 500 lines you typed in.
- Transfer boxes now have a little scrolly barber shop stripe
animation in them that gives you an idea of how quickly you
are sending or receiving file data messages. (Mmm, Juicyfruit!)
- MD5 calculations are now done in separate background threads.
This should keep BeShare's GUI from freezing up when resuming
downloads or uploads of very large files.
- Empty MIME attribute entries no longer show up in the
Attributes menu.
* Fixed a bug in the file-examining routine that was
associating the wrong data-type with file attributes.
(this was the bug that was causing Track numbers to show up
as rectangle characters. Note that the rectangles will still
be seen if the person sharing the file hasn't upgraded!)
