You're going in the right direction with the new release, but there's some things I hope you will look into on the next releases.

1. No doubt the function for continuing downloads of completes looks find in theory. Problem is that I have only succeeded in continue with download(and research) of 1 - one - file of perhaps 50-70 incompletes. Has other experienced the same thing?

4. Nodes. Gnucleus has a hard time connecting to more than 1500 nodes. Usually it stays between 450 - 800(600-800 Gb). Limewire connects to 7-8 terrabyte automatically for some reason(but limewire sucks hard in other departments).

3. Allmost no uploads. When using Bearshare I get perhaps 5 downloads during an evening. Using Gnucleus I get 1 a week. Does other clients have problem finding Gnucleus clients on the net?

I have also the same upload problem. With Bearshare lots of people (60-80 % of them are bearshare) download from my computer 24/7. With glucleus, phex or limewire the upload result it is much less.

BearShare 600-900Mb for 24 hour
Other 100-300 Mb for 24 hour

Why, I do not understand this?

For upload the BearShare is still the best!
For download there are better ones.

I do not download much file's. 1 or 2 a week. So I use now the bearshare 24/7. So people can upload lots of file's from my computer. "BearShare the power to share" is in my situation true.

I found that upload problems dissappear when using port 6346.
Any other port, and uploads somehow don't materialize.
Some clients it doesn't matter, others seem to have this strange bug.

The Gnucleus beta is working really well for me so far too - the new dowload re-searching is really great. Right now this is the *only* one I'd use for any sizeable file. It's the only one I can really trust to resume a transfer no matter what happens.

A reason people might be seeing less uploads is if you have the option to only return results when slots are available on. Still, I like this option. I share big files, and it reduces the number of people hammering me with requests for files they won't be able to get. Also I think ol' BearScare probably returns a low "quality of service" indicator for non B.S. peers which may contribute to the lack of uploads. I notice I get a much wider variety of agents uploading from me using Gnucleus.

As far as bugs go, the only one I'm finding is it will randomly crash sometimes. Usually just doing stuff in the background while I'm not actively using it. Perhaps some oddball connection attempt or packet?

Still of course I have some feature requests ;-)

1) A type selector on the search results window (by the refine search). This is what I miss most from Lime and Gnotella. Gnucleus could outdo them both since it keeps all search results and could let you swith between types without re-searching.

2) Place the "Don't display busy servers" check on the search window too. I toggle it an awful lot depending on what I'm looking for, and it's a pain to have to jump into the config dialog each time.

3) Have defaults for minimum size and speed in search results - including the new auto-search. Many times I keep getting stuck downloading from a very slow (but available) server.

4) Kind of related - In the download extended info it would be nice to have a way to remove or block servers (so I can remove that guy with 20 upload slots sharing a +150 meg file off his 28k modem! ;-).

The new download re-searching is not working at all for me. I've only managed to re search and download one file out of 50-70 incomplete files. Of course I wait until I have managed to get as many friends as possible. Then I try to do re search, but with no luck.

Perhaps the development team should take a look at Gnutella 0.56. That one had a very easy way of continue download. It tried to download from the same client as it was doing the first time and usually it worked.

It's working for me and others. My guess is you have your network settings messed up somehow or don't have your firewall configured correctly.

Ack! Good God no! This is exactly what's wrong with most peers. Most people have dynamic IP addresses - if they go offline for any reason you're sunk. Try downloading a file over, say, 70 meg and you'll see counting on a single IP pretty much guarantees you'll never get the whole file.
