 From the first version Shareaza has supported swarming, metadata, library management, and automatic file hashing.On 19 December 2007 the project's domain name, shareaza.com, was redirected to a site claiming to be "The Official Home of Shareaza", promoting the download of a client known as Shareaza V4 (which had become V6 in October 2009, V7 in August 2010, and V8 ) unrelated to releases by the Shareaza development team, an iMesh clone with only small graphical modifications, and using Shareaza v1 logo (see the picture above).The domain owner Jon Nilson was forced to sell it as a part of a settlement with "La Societe Des Producteurs De Phonogrammes En France".
