2.9.4 alpha not "PRO" I've been running the 2.9.2-alpha, then 2.9.3 and now the 2.9.4 versions of LW PRO, but the latest copy -- which I downloaded from the "Beta" link on my PRO download page -- bugs me about Bonzi Buddy and LimeShop. It also asks me to upgrade to PRO on first run. |
Looks like somebody at LimeWire mixed up the installers... |
I just installed 2.9.4 Pro after a "complete" uninstall. New "About Limewire" says 2.9.3 Pro--no ads. Trap_jaw, what does the ".com.zerog.registry" do? |
You will learn to check the installer before you install. Thay have done that before and one time instead of putting up the english Limewire pro they put up the multilingual one on all the links. Edit:Also I just checked it out and it says Limewire Pro 2.9.4 and yet the english windows installer is for 2.9.3. This is on the pro page. Yet I believe the reagular page has been changed....I would think the paying customers would come first no? |

I think it's fixed now... I just re-downloaded the 2.9.4-PRO alpha and it's a different filesize than the original copy I downloaded. I haven't installed it yet but I'm assuming it's correctly the "PRO" version. |
Thanks Juggalo. Where do you check for versions? http://www9.limewire.com/beta/LimeWireOSX.zip 4,197,564 bytes http://sales.limewire.com/[pro page yada yada]/beta/ 4,194.939 bytes (too, lists "MacOSX 3.3mb") tried to follow your footer links, trap_jaw, but couldn't see an OSX version. Still, thanks for the info. If I'm reading core cvs mailings correctly, this alpha is mostly about changes to error messages? sdsalsero, did you ever find out about changelogs, or where to look? |
The changes to the error messages were in the less-questions-branch not in the main-branch. The changes include a fix for two minor bugs and a problem causing LimeWire to parse BearShare's query hits incorrectly so they would be displayed as one-star results when they actually should be two, three or four star results. |
Ah, OK. I'll learn to watch for "branch" in the logs. BTW, 2.9.3 Pro (I haven't been able to get 2.9.4 Pro) went into Ultrapeer mode ~20 mins ago, with no problem, so last week's problem looks to be fixed here. The big difference I now note is that in leaf, Connections Dropped(I/O) would usually show>90%, but in Ultrapeer that stat shows < 25%. In leaf, most of the vendors were LW and the Acq .8*'s; in Ultrapeer I'm seeing mostly BearShare. I'm expecting Ultrapeer to drop because of my NAT. |
oops, still no 2.9.4 Pro ! I just checked my 2.9.4-alpha "PRO" download and it's actually the 2.9.3 version. So I still don't have 2.9.4-alpha Pro (and I'm back to running 2.9.3 . . . ) |
Sorry guys. I accidentally uploaded the free beta installers to PRO. I then rolled back to 2.9.3 until I can upload the correct 2.9.4 ones. They are alpha/beta. Expect a few mistakes. Thanks -greg |
Greg, thanks for the update. I'd like to try more with magnets--can we get our alpha pro's through an emailed magnet? (and a changelog . . .?) |
Well, the alpha pros are not on the network unless someone left the right version running in the office so a Magnet link wouldn't work at the moment. (Oh and PROs don't share their installer) Thanks -greg |
I thought maybe so. Still, thought this might be good test of somewhat secure p2p. If you could do this with LW, other software vendors might be intriged. Thanks for the quick reply. Ummm ... is changelog a bad word? |
What do you mean by 'secure'? |
Hmmm. Secure enough that LW will trust that Pro users get their pro versions? At least as secure (not very) as the current "individual" web page. btw-LW 2.9.3 Pro has lasted fine in Ultrapeer for 5 1/2 hrs without a problem; only a BearShare 4.2.4 has stayed beyond an hour. |
I'm sure you could do the downloads via LimeWire - but what would it accomplish. You don't really want the LimeWire PRO versions to be shared throughout the network, do you? About the ultrapeers connections: Some ultrapeer connections will last several hours with the new version (as with older versions) but unfortunately connections in Gnutella are not very stable. - That is something that might change when more users upgrade and the load on the ultrapeer connections can be reduced. |
Trapjaw: Your download link in sig has been pointing to the wrong page for a few weeks now. =) |
?? tj's sig was new < 2 days ago. Re the ultrapeers, I was pleasantly suprised to see them lasting a few hours this weekend. I'll take that as a sign the network is looking better already. I was also heartened by the idea that even if I can't share effectively from behind my NAT, I can help as an Ultrapeer to extend someone's horizon: the fan kicked in on my laptop (very rare), so I hope the processor was working to deal with the high traffic noted in the connections (and without really hindering my web access). Still don't know why 2.9.3 should show more BearShare Ultrapeers than I've seen before. As for magnets being used to deliver somewhat secured software through the gnutella net, I'm sure delivering it to a non-shared folder is the least of the problems (even if identified alphas are not likely to be popular or long lasting). Isn't one of the attractions of gnutella the potential to deliver large files to specific individuals? |
W/ BS most of my UPs are usually over 24hrs old, w/ 2 or 3 more than 40 or 50 hrs old. I leave my BS running 24/7 |
1) ultrapeers: 2.9.x stopped preferencing LimeWire ultrapeers. 2) magnets: The gnutella network as it is at the moment does not allow secure transfers to a specific group of users. All shared files are made available to the public, so you cannot verify the user downloading a PRO installer is really a PRO user. |
