I'm one of the original Shareaza developers btw. There is no encryption on the conection, everything is in plain text, the G2 network is basically dead and everyone has moved on to torrents 2decades ago. Just let it die.

Great!
Feel free to use your one then!
If you want to see how mine is built, just check the corrispondent GitHub action!

Honestly I'm a bit bored about all these claims!

Feel free to maintain your own Shareaza fork!

Ciao ciao,
Salvatore

I built it and my built exe has no trojan hit on virus total. Hmmm

this confirms, once again, that you don’t know what are you are talking about.
I cannot publish my exe in the original shareaza repo as that one is gone...
About the false positive, I opened an issue on my github repos to check and fix.

if yiu dont trust me, simply don’t download the build.

you make a version of shareaza and you don't publish where it's published since ages, but you publish on your personal github, then I question that the file is infected, also another user did, and the only thing that you can say is that 6/71 on virustotal is a false positive?
