Regularly Submitting results for installing and running on the latest version of Wine makes a big difference for others considering using Wine. By looking at how well the software runs others can be encouraged to try it themselves and together you can make progress in finding workarounds. By testing the software you will also notice when something breaks and when you make a bug report, the bugzilla team will often point it out to the person who broke it. If you are slightly more technically minded, you are able to regularly compile wine and test it before each fortnightly release then you will catch breakages before each wine release.
Official Information Unofficial Information A big advantage of being a maintainer is that as you quickly become familiar with installing and using wine with your software, you can have a direct hand in improving wine and your software. Many times you will find very handy tips posted by others and by posting a summary many benefit from your work. When you are asked a question you don't know, simply post in the wine-users forum and perhaps someone can help. Just by being there, you make a difference. A maintainer quickly tests each monthly release of wine, and adds to the application database a rating of how good it runs.. gold/silver/bronze or garbage. Wine is constantly being improved, and occasionally something breaks. When you do spot a breakage, file a bug in bugzilla and if you want to try and fix it you can then post to the wine-devel mailing list for advice. However, if you have a little spare time (usually about 2 hours, in between doing other things) regression testing allows you to identify which patch caused the break. By filling out a bugzilla report, posting the name of the software, and the patch which broke it to the wine-devel mailing list, the developer who broke it can have a look at fixing it.

Wine 20041201
First, you need to install Internet Explorer for Shareaza to work.
Secondly, you need to download Shareaza from this location.
In a console, navigate to where you downloaded Shareaza.
Installing Shareaza
$ wine shareaza_<verison number>.exe
Once done, close shareaza if it's open so we can fix the fonts. You will need to download this file.
In a console, navigate to where you downloaded the font.
Installing the font
$ wine tahoma32.exe
When that is done installing, we need to edit the Wine config file so it will use the new font nicely.
Editing Wine Config
$ cd ~/.wine $ <your editing program> config Add this anywhere below the [DllOverrides] area; ;;; Per-Program Settings Area ;; Shareaza [AppDefaults\\Shareaza.exe\\x11drv] "ClientSideAntiAliasWithRender" = "Y"
Thus, it won't affect the other applications ran with Wine. It does not have to go below [DllOverrides], but it just makes it easy fix it everyone places it in one spot.
Once done, you have a working Shareaza, unless your firewall is blocking it.
Problems
The default skin can be slow or crash Shareaza, so change it if you wish. Also, don't drag your mouse though the menus beause it will lock up Shareaza. The media player in Shareaza is slow if at all it works.
Another problem is the Media Center which can crashes when adding folder with music files containing special characters.
Clicking on "Library" can crash, sometimes.
The skin "Shareaza 2.0" can make the application freeze if you select a menu item and slide to another one.
