some question and comments
 

first of all - the speed i get in the download window is it in kb/s
2, in the options window what does the speed option is i have a dsl and it was set to 33 what does that mean.

I had some problems

1, in the search window when i click on either filname speed search etc i do not get them arranged in either ascending or descending orderi just get a + or - sign inforntof the title and nothing else - what is that - is it meant that htey are arranged in ascending or descending order - if so it isn't workin well
2, it seems that i am not being able to downlad from limeewire clients
3, the downloads are very slow
4, when i exit the program once it crashed.

A question - how long does a search last?

thank you :)
 

Hi ken481,

all speedbars show the speed in kByte/s. Maybe your downloads so slow because the other servent is something like a 56k modem. (like mine :( ) Please try to find other sources. I test PEERanha on my 10MBit LAN always and i have a downloadspeed of around 500kByte/s but I will increase speed to the next beta.

The Connection_Speed-Key was set by the Installer. If you selected 56k Modem it was set to 33kbps :).
This key is the only one displayed in kbps and is returned to the other clients to detect which connection speed your link to the internet has.

The Problems:
1. Ok I will display an arrow in the next Beta for '+'&'-' . '+' means increasing values or alphabetical order.

2. I will test to download from LW clients by myself. Maybe i did something wrong.

4. If your PEERanha crashed please mail me the Crash-Address or better the whole Crash-Dialog.

thank you :)

Re: thank you :)
 

No!

He is right... when you select DSL the speed is 33 - always!

Seems like a bug! :)

things that need to be fixed
 

Ok so first of all before i start complaining - the program is good and very promissing - i likei t a lot
now to make it really good.
1, better source management - so removal of down sources - ie sources who are no longer online - fix the search system for new sources it doesn't seem to work when i selct find more mirrors i still get no increase in mirrors.
2, i don't know if i wa clear enough and whther you understood me well, when i referred to the arranging in ascending and descending orderi n the search window i wanted to imply that it is not working that is the searches are not arranged in any order they stil remain random.
3, ok here is a feature that would really be great ; i tend to call it target speed managemnet - ie when you select a download you set a traget speed eg 10kb/s and the program automatically researches for new sources if the speed available is lower than the target. let's say i download an mp3 and set 10kb/s target speed - the doanload starts and i get only 5kb/s then the program leave about 2minutes ot pass and then tries to search for new host for about a minute then stops if spped still not target leaves another 3 minutes and treies to search again.

that's all for now about that crash when can i find that file you said about so that can sned it to you and where do isend it to you?

ok :)
 

hi ken,

thanx for your suggestions. I try to implement your ideas into PEERanha :).

I will check/edit the sorting/new host algorithm.

I don't know which version of Windows do you have. If you're using:
95/98/ME -> click on "Details >>" and copy the text to a mail.
NT 4.0 -> activate DrWatson and look into a file named "c:\windows\drwtsn.log" (or something like that)
NT 5.x (XP) -> Go to your SystemControls/Management/EventViewer -> Applicationprotocol and copy the text :)

thx a lot for your help :)

so you want it to automatically send out searches for a specific file over the network? PLEASE DONT!

search: "joe gets a girl and then she likes so he does her good and then she says umm and then he says youck and dumps her divx slot pamela anderson britney qwerty sex public nasty gay porn lez action.mpeg

Yea, this is the type of thing we need to see sent out all over the network. thanks.

Why can't it just use another like file in the search hit list? If it isn't there, put up with the low bandwidth.

i got this error message in the crash

hi ken,

ok I try to find the error.
Thank you for your report.

Sorry if I disturb... I'm a programmer too, and can understand/learn nearly nothing from those messages, unfortunately. Is there a good way to track back the error from such a windows dump (of a 'release version') in my code? What are you doing now to track the error, GodxBlue? Thx 4 help, Moak

PS: Currently playing with the idea of an extended code error handling (for Windows, using VC6). I know it is somehow possible to catch asserts and stuff and provide an customized message window (e.g. to store all important data into clipboard or generate an automatic feedback report). Any ideas, documentation, help?

Reg. Dump
 

Hi Moak,

VC++ can create a Listfile of your source, in which the assembly to the orginal source lines stored.
Most this helps alot because you can read the adress in front of the line and every line belongs to an C++-sourceline.

If this doesn't work start your debugger of your C++ and go the crashadress in the disassembled text. In VC++ do a double click on the crash line [in assembly] and it will jump to the source line in the C++ source.

The rest is pure assembly I think and I can't explain it here.
But look out for the registers often the bad values are 0x00000000 and 0xFFFFFFFFF.

I hope this helps a little bit,
