Developed by the same creators of BearShare (a popular P2P file sharing tool), BearFlix is a P2P sharing tool designed specifically for videos. If you’re a BearShare user, you’ll be able to use the application in no time. The interface and commands are almost the same with a few tweaks so that it could adapt to video downloads.

But even though you’re not familiar with BearShare, you can still use this application with ease. Like BearShare, you will be required to create an account online which could be done in the application. After signing-up you can use the search tool to locate your preferred videos. The application could connect you to websites that offer free videos wherein you can download them directly from the website. As a P2P tool, videos shared and uploaded by members could be available for download at the same time. The application also offers automatic resume so that you can switch off your computer and continue your download as soon as you are back online.

BearFlix could also be used as a video player. However, the application still relies on the installed video players in your computer for codecs. That means if you don’t have an installed video player that could read H.264, then BearFlix will not be able to read the specific file type.

Although BearFlix is a very impressive application for video file sharing, being limited to videos only is its main disadvantage. Many users still prefer P2P applications that could share more than just videos. On the other hand, this application could greatly compliment your BearShare application.
