Just a quick one to say go check out <a href="http://forums.peerweb.org/showthread.php?t=34316">the record attempt</a> we've got going on today (February 29th) to try and break our all-time users-online record. Keep visiting today, there are some good tips in there for helping out!

As you are likely aware, for the past three years PeerWeb has experienced down time around the end of each January. The reason for this is because, although paid in full, our domain registrar fails to renew the domain in time and thus for several days it appeared as if we are offline. In an effort...

As we previously posted, the website now seen at shareaza.com is no longer owned by the developers of the Shareaza P2P Application or any party involved in its development. Rather, it is managed and run by a group who is intent on manipulating the innocent user into downloading their malware...

Back in 2006 I posted here announcing the release of the very first test version of <a href="http://www.apexdc.net/">ApexDC++</a>, and after a long hiatus I'm at it again! Things have been progressing extremely well within the project, and this is our biggest announcement yet... We've just...

First off, welcome back! The server on which we're hosted (along with a small number of other sites such as ApexDC.net) has been suffering a DDoS attack, we believe through an exploit of an old version of DC++. However, we're now back up and running with an improved firewall setup and the problems...

As I'm sure you were well aware during the past day the site displayed a nice large Site Suspended message instead of the normal PeerWeb homepage. There was an unfortunate billing discrepancy at our host which caused this issue and it has since been resolved. Thanks for you patience and feel free...
