Q: Who should read this document?
A: You should read this if you have a problem downloading, installing, or using the program itself.
Q: Why do I always get a message that says "No such file or directory" every time I try to download?
A: Your Temporary directory and/or Downloads directory does not exist. Check the Setup->Downloads page and make sure both directories exist, and are located on the same drive letter. In addition, make sure that your Temporary directory is not in your list of shared directories, or inside any sub-directory of a shared directory.

VF? Q: How do I configure my firewall to use BearShare?
A: BearShare uses the default Gnutella port number 6346, unless you've changed it in the Setup.
Forward the port to your LAN IP address if you're using NAT, or allow incoming connections on this
port if your firewall is blocking it.
Some firewalls require RIP to be enabled. Bearshare needs to be told you have a firewall in
the setup options.
