Shareaza is a file sharing application that can be used in order to send and receive files over the internet to and from various users. The utility has a simple installation process that takes seconds to complete and it already comes with the settings predefined. However, users can change their preferences and customize them according to their needs.

Shareaza has a simple interface and all of the downloads that are active will appear in a list view. Completed downloads remain in the same list as long as they are kept by the user. During this time, they will be seeded as other users download them, too. There is the possibility to add multiple trackers to a download and have access to more users, thus increasing the download speed. Files can be searched on four different networks with the aid of the app if users do not already provide a download location.

Shareaza is flexible and it also features multiple skins, so that everyone can find a suited one. Certain files that are still downloading can be previewed with the aid of the application. A media player can be used to play video and music files. Certain IP addresses that prove harmful to the system can be blocked from within the tool. The app can also work behind a firewall for increased protection.
