When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up

LimeWire and FrostWire users need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning.

10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit.

13. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Phex 2.1.4.80 Beta

A new beta-release of Phex:

2.1.4 Beta (2004-09-29)

Changes:

- GUI: Generate a temporary 'preview' copy of the first segment on demand,
and display it (if a display program is configured). Will also work
on completed downloads.
- GUI: The number of download candidates for a file is displayed on the folder
icon.

- CORE: Default list of recognised streamable/unstreamable suffixes
extended, and matching is now case-insensitive.
- CORE: Added Undocumented.htm to documentation for tips on advanced use.
- CORE: phex.cfg is sorted.
- CORE: Experimental: headless operation with -Djava.awt.headless=true

- FIXED: Configuration values which are lists are correctly stored.
- FIXED: Invoking help/bitzi on unix now looks for firefox, not netscape.
- FIXED: Candidates stop correctly upon completion of download.
- FIXED: File uploads do not abort prematurely.
- FIXED: File upload statistics stay correct after the initial segment.

Download it here:

To use the preview function please read the Undocumented.htm in the phex distribution \docs\readme directory.

I think you used opera if I remember one of your previous posts correctly. I think Phex tries to start firefox currently though...

Exclamation Hangups and over-downloads

#1: I know it's a beta... just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I frequently experience two problems when downloading:

- Files "overdownload". That is, they reach their full size, and then keep downloading.
- Phex hangs and has to be killed with task manager and restarted.

The second could be anything, but the first is really strange to me. The only way to get the file if this happens is to remove the download and re-download it (or hope the copy in my incomplete folder actually is complete).

The first I also saw sometimes, but not since I use the CVS-code...

Thumbs up Hangups and over-downloads confirmed

Hello All!

Just started using Phex, found it to be very nice, but also quite quickly experienced the same problems as eagle79 (over-downloads and freezes).

I compiled the CVS version as of today (13 Feb 2005), 2.1.5.80. If it matters, I'm running W2000 SP4 with JRE 1.5. (I did the compilation on a Linux box with 1.4.2, though.)

I can't (yet) say if the problems are gone, but at least another very annoying problem appeared: When defining the shared "Library", Phex always checks my floppy drive A:. Even when just selecting another directory to view on the hard drives it checks A:...

I'm quite sure only sick people share their A:, so it could very well be removed from the list altogether :-)

Have a nice day,
Mikael J.

Hello mpjohans,

I hope your download problems should be away with the CVS version. There should be a fix.

Can you tell me how your check of drive A: appears to you? Do you get a system message to put a disk into drive a: or hear the sound of the drive trying to find a disk?

Sounds like a strange problem I use JRE 1.5 with W2K SP4 too and dont see anything like this...

Gregor

Hello Gregor!

The D/L problem at least hasn't come up anymore.

About A: There's no message, the drive is just checked for content every time I expand / collapse a new directory from the tree. It is actually enough to have the "Library" tab selected, switch to another application than Phex and back again for it to happen. Extremely annoying! Perhaps something weird in some refresh routine (in Windows / Phlex / wherever)?

Another small oddity; at least the download bandwidth reported in the "Statistics" tab, both "Value" and "Avg.", is now about 2-4 times too high, when the bandwidth is set to "Unlimited" in "Options". If set to a finite value (still higher than the real, used bandwidth), the values get more realistic. (worked OK in 2.1.4.80).

By the way, the vertical column separator lines are a nice addition!

Unhappy download problem still there

Hello again!

Aargh, the D/L problem appeared again, at least in some form:

A download "completed", in the "Download" tab the size was reported as 0/0 and the rate as -35,436/Sec avg, 0s left.

The total file size of the "complete file" was missing 8192 bytes. Could it perhaps be related to a minimum segment size of 16384?

In the end, the incomplete-directory contained a left-over segment (sg71) 1,512,719 bytes long.

What was correct total file size?

I found the problem with the drive a: you should not see the drive anymore with the next release.
Its in CVS but sourceforge needs a while till its public visible..

I mailed you (?) the exact file size. It was about 60 MB.

The file size doesn't seem to matter, though. I tested downloading a much smaller file, ~4 MB, and it worked most of the time. Almost always, however, the final size after download was reported as 0/0, instead of the correct size. Sometimes also, even if the download was complete, one thread/segment got stuck in the "Downloading..." state.

Twice out of about 10 D/L's, the "complete" file was too short, by 8546 and 3046 bytes.

This was with the CVS version as of 13 Feb, the current public CVS doesn't compile.

I assume, you use MacOSX.... I just committed some changes, which will make it compile again (It did withthhe old Java-SDK, with the new one some classes are missing...

If you have developer access, try getting it with ssh, there the changes with already be there, other ways can have a certain lag.

Hello arne_bab!

I don't use Mac (for this at least :-) but now when you mention it, I see that the compilation indeed fails in */macosx/GURLHandler.java.

I don't have dev access, so I'll just have to wait a while!
