BearShare SpeedUp Pro is an add-on for BearShare, a lightweight P2P file-sharing utility that enables you to download books, movies, music, videos and numerous other files.

The installation is quick, uneventful and does not require any special attention from your part. Considering that this is an add-on, it goes without saying that you need to have BearShare installed on your computer.

The program comes with a rather rugged interface that lacks basic functions, including the one that enables you to minimize it to System Tray. If you want to take advantage of it, then you are required to keep it running in the background all the time.

You should know that the tool displays a few basic pieces of information about your network connection, namely the type, status, total bytes, network interface and the duration since the app is launched. The utility scans and detects all network adapters automatically, so make sure that you choose the one that is being used by BearShare.

The idea behind the application is to provide you with a simple way to optimize your bandwidth and consequentially, speed up the download process considerably. You will be happy to learn that the application does not consume too much of your computer's resources and hence, it does not have a significant impact on the overall functionality of the operating system.

As previously mentioned, the application provides extra functionality to BearShare, such as resuming broken links, saving configurations from the last session so that you can load them on startup or clearing links that are already downloaded or corrupted.

In the eventuality that you are using BearShare to download movies, books or other files that you need via this P2P file sharing utility, then perhaps BearShare SpeedUp Pro could come in handy.
