How to use Share
1.) Download Share Ver. 1.0 EX2. The program runs without any need to install, so place the files and folder in the location you intend to operate from.

2.) Replace locale.txt and hint.txt with the translated version (TCP version). Other files are optional.
3.) Configure your network settings (Options menu -> general settings). Select a port as you would for BitTorrent, and make sure to forward it on your firewall and/or router.
4.) Configure your cluster keywords (Options -> Clusters). Clusters search nodes for what you are searching for in general. You will need to check the box to enable them. In order to run Share, you will need at least one cluster enabled such as アニメ (anime). See below for a cluster/searching guide.
5.) Add nodes to connect to (Nodes -> Add Node). Click show sleep nodes if you don't see any nodes listed "sleep", then:
http://www.stereoz.net/node/ (Copy and paste the middle column into the add node list.)
6.) Add folders (Folders -> Add folder). Add at least one folder of each type {upload/download/cache). As with any P2P program the more you share the better. Your cache will also be shared.
7.) Restart the program. You won't be able to download without doing so.
Note: I highly recommend you install Japanese language support. A lot of your files will not only be in Japanese, but be compressed archives such as zip files that contain folders in Japanese. Windows can't handle extracting Japanese folders without support. Search Google for a tutorial.

Tab and Menu Information
Clusters
Clusters are a generic search term that is used to find which particular Node you want to connect to. All nodes have a short list of clusters that they use to describe what kind of files can be found on that particular node. If the node is all about porn, some common clusters it will have are:
- 成人コミック "adult comic"
- 同人 "doujin"
- 同人誌 "doujinshi"
- AV "adult video"
- アダルト "adult"
- Etc.
You may only have five clusters runnning at a time, and you usually won't need anymore than that as you'll want to keep your cluster searches on only exactly what you're looking for to get connected to the best nodes. Also, your cluster list can only be 255 characters, so keep only the basics that you're going to want to be searching with.

Many other clusters exist, but this is a fairly basic list. If you want to learn more clusters simply watch the Nodes tab to see what comes up there as a cluster on the various nodes that get cycled through.
Nodes
Nodes are pretty simple. You will only be connected to a few at a time for searching depending on how much is in your cache. They stay connected for about a minute and a half. Some nodes will have more or less than others. However, if you set your clusters right you should find everything you need on most nodes. If you download something, and the nodes time is up, it will stay connected to that node for downloading purposes. Same goes for uploading. Check means that you are finding out what clusters are on a particular node, and if it meets with the clusters you have listed as what you are searching for. Test means that it is testing your ability to connect to that node. Diffuse Up means that you are uploading to someone so it is keeping you on that node until you're done uploading through it. Diffuse Down means the opposite, you are downloading from someone and it is keeping that node open as long as possible. Search Up and Down means that someone is searching for clusters that happen to exist on your computer through a node and that you are searching for something through a node, respectively.
Searching / Queries
If you set your clusters right, just pretend this is Google and search for what you want. Example: Hellsing. The stuff that is orange means you see a large amount if not all of the blocks of that file, that's a good thing. If it's red, stay the fuck away. If it's white, that just means it hasn't found all the blocks yet. While you cycle through nodes you will run into all the pieces eventually. Patience is good with this program, but usually it isn't too bad. When downloading all that Hard Gay most of my downloads were white the night I queued them, and then finished by the morning.
DB
What's in your database of files you have completed, tried to download, or in general have done anything with, but don't necessarily have them in your local cache any longer. If you have a shitload of crap downloaded and you don't want it to list what you already have or stuff you've already seen, disable this.
Remote
Remote means that you have most likely never downloaded a piece of the file before. If it is green, then it means it was seen in the database at some point but never completed. If it is blue then that means it is, or was recently, in your downloads list but hadn't yet downloaded any part of it.
Local
It's in your cache but has not finished downloading, or it is a remnant of a file you cancelled the download on but you still have some of it in your cache.
Complete
The download has finished and the cache for it still exists on your computer.
Link
No clue.
Triggers
A trigger will automatically download a file containing whatever the trigger is. You can set limits such as size ranges. I fid it best to quote all and deselect "Delete matching query triggers" (when enabled it will delete the trigger as soon as it finds one file with the term and adds it to your queue). Be as specific as possible. Remember it will download ANY file containing that term. Don't be surprised if you wake up in the morning with 800 things in your cache because you set a trigger for アニメ.
Download
Pretty obvious stuff here for the most part, but I will explain the whole blocks deal. Basically the file is chopped up into blocks. If you downloaded an orange file from the list, it should have all the blocks. This means when somebody is ready to share those with you, they will. If you don't have all the blocks found, it will try and download what you do have and just wait it out until it can find the rest. The lower the order the better but don't worry about it, you can still download without hitting 1.
Upload
List of shit you are uploading.
Filter
Similar to triggers only it filters out words.
Tasks
List of current blocks being downloaded and tasks being performed. When you download a file, it's encrypted. Once the download completes, depending on the size of the file, it takes anywhere from a few seconds to a half an hour to decrypt it.
Log/Info
Obvious.
How to Delete Stuff From Your Cache
Since not everybody has a massive HDD with tons of space to go around, it's a good idea to clear that shit out on occasion. Ctrl + Del will delete the selected cache file. You can right click and find more in the list, but I find that sometimes right clicking to delete cache files doesn't go through all the time.
One should note though, that the more that you have in your cache, the more nodes you will be able to stay connected with at a single time.
