After nearly two years in development and in the face of an expected landmark Supreme Court ruling, StreamCast Networks, Inc., the creator of the popular Morpheus file-sharing software, today announced the public availability of the beta version of Morpheus 5.0, its most advanced peer-to-peer file search and sharing software ever. The new fully loaded Morpheus 5.0 is available for free download at www.morpheus.com

With the additional integration of BitTorrent searches, consumers will immediately notice Morpheus' reliability and ease of use for finding and downloading all types of media files including mp3 audio, music, videos, movies, games, software, pictures and documents. NEOnet technology provides consumers with lightning fast download speeds and unmatched search accuracy, even for rare and unique content that can't be found anywhere else.

Morpheus continues to provide one of the safest and most secure environments for file-sharing and searching, including the ability to seamlessly integrate a user's installed anti-virus software to help prevent malicious files from infecting their computer; and also contains user-enabled parental filters to keep unwanted content away from children. Morpheus includes free Bitzi anti-spoofing look-ups so that consumers find what they want and avoid downloading bogus or spoofed files.

Upcoming features in the new Morpheus 5.0 series will include iPod compatibility, Podcast searches, Mobile Morpheus and a custom Morpheus eWallet that will enable users to easily purchase in excess of one million authorized music, video and game files through Morpheus.
