LimeWire 1.6d released
 
We have moved LimeWire 1.6d from beta to our official release.

New features include:

-The system tray feature now works for all Windows operating systems.

-The Windows installer now only downloads and installs the Java2TM Runtime Environment if it is not already present on your system, reducing the initial LimeWire download size to about 1.5MB.

-We have fixed several bugs that were appearing on all operating systems.

We hope everyone enjoys the new version, and, as always, please let us know of any problems you encounter. Thanks.

-The LimeWire Team

1.6e?
 
So is this a new 1.6d or is it the same one?

What happened to the connection bug?

afisk August 10th, 2001 10:13 AM

We simply moved the LimeWire 1.6d beta from beta to our official release, so yes, it is the same.

In terms of the connection bug, we are currently looking into it. It appears to be related to the new JRE, but we are not sure what is causing it at this point. The vast majority of users are still able to connect.

This is definitely one of our highest priority issues, however, so we should have it solved quite shortly.

maybe you guys can post 1.4 for all of us who cannot connect with 1.6xxx. I was connecting fine with 1.4

I have downloaded LimeWire and the installation worked well, but I'm not sure how to go on now to share and download files. Where can I search for them?

afisk August 12th, 2001 08:39 AM

When you start LimeWire, the first tab that appears on your screen is the "Search" tab. This tab has a text field at the top where you can enter search terms. You can then activate your search either by pressing the "Search" button or by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard.

Any files that you download will be shared by default. You can also add new directories to share in the Tools>>Options window under the "Sharing" tab.

LimeWire 1.6d kicks ass
 
Last night around midnight I started LimeWire and connected to 4TB in a matter of seconds. It of course connected to more the longer I waited. When I searched for something the results were also fast. I was very impressed with the new LimeWire and after a night of downloading for 9 hours straight, usually when I come back and try to do a new search, I cant b/c its not connected to any hosts and etc. Well this time it was still connected to a few and my search wen as fast as I first started it. Keeps up the good work.

Unregistered August 14th, 2001 01:55 AM

I am using KDE in Linux, but did not have this problem using Gnome....

When I do a search, and the songs come up, I click on one and it will immediantly bring up a tab as if I had right clicked. It will not allow me to use the normal download buttons at all. It does the same thing with the search tab. Also, on a side note, my enter button doesn't work when trying to use it instead of having to manually press "search", which is also not a problem I had in Gnome.

Unregistered August 14th, 2001 03:48 AM

I have a dual boot system, fat 32 and ntfs. My problem is my entire hard drive is being shared in both systems with only 50 or so files in the limewire shared folder. All settings are at default. the files I am sharing are not junk, bill g is ****ed at me, I don't want to leave limewire but I will not share my entire hard drive.

afisk August 14th, 2001 08:49 AM

What makes you think that your entire hard drive is being shared? Does your entire hard drive appear in your library?

download help
 
My target thing says C:\WINDOWS\javaw.exe -cp .Runlime like everybody says it's supposed to. But it still doesn't work when I click on the icon or right click on the icon and open it. can you help me?

afisk August 14th, 2001 10:41 AM

Try changing this to simply read:

javaw -cp . RunLime

You also might want to make sure that you see the Java2TM Runtime Environment, v1.3.1 listed in your programs under the Start>>Settings>>Control Panel Add/Remove Programs window. If this is not there, you should probably try installing LimeWire again.

Unregistered August 14th, 2001 11:00 AM

All of Hard Drive being shared?
 
In the bottom right of the LimeWire Window, it shows the files as more than I have to share. I had this happen before and it was fixed by rebooting, but not now.

afisk August 14th, 2001 11:42 AM

That is very strange. What is your LimeWire shared directory? If you change your shared directory in the Tools>>Options window, does it change the number of shared files listed?

Keep in mind that all subdirectories of your shared directory are also shared.

Unregistered August 14th, 2001 12:34 PM

Sharing all of hard drive?
 
The path to Save and File Sharing in options is
C:\Program Files\LimeWire\Shared
The library shows 11 files shared but there are actually 17 files in the shared folder. The number of shared files that is shown at the bottom right in the LimeWire window is 4771 in both Windows 95B and Windows 2000.
I used to keep LimeWire on all the time except when I left the house but have turned it off until I can get this figured out. I do not think I have a virus at least one that is affecting my hard drive, because the free space is still the same.

afisk August 14th, 2001 01:19 PM

This is very unusual. The library is only showing 11 files because it only shares file that have shared extensions, so you probably have 6 files in that directory of extensions that are not shared.

In terms of it sharing your entire hard drive, does it continue to do this if you change the shared directory?

Unregistered August 14th, 2001 02:13 PM

Sharing hard drive?
 
Here is what I did: I renamed the shared file to nonshared and made a new folder called shared into which I put Acrobat 4.0. I closed the LimeWire and when I opened it up again it showed 16 files as shared at the bottom right window. The library shows only the acrobat file in the left side of the window and no files in the right side window. This is better and I can live with it. Also all the files in the original shared file came from LimeWire so they cannot be incorrect file types.Thanks for the help.I really like LimeWire bugs, warts and all!

afisk August 14th, 2001 02:21 PM

Glad to hear that you generally like using LimeWire.

I'm still really confused by all of this, though. When you install LimeWire, the default shared directory (C:\Program Files\LimeWire\Shared) is empty. We create the folder from scratch unless there is already a folder there, and we put nothing in it. What are the files in your new "Unshared" directory?

As far as the file types, there are not really "correct" and "incorrect" file types -- there are simply file types that are shared by default, and file types that are not shared by default.

The change you made with the Acrobat file was a good idea, the only strange thing is that it should show only 1 shared file (I assume this is an exe file?). Is there something I'm missing here? It is possible that there is a bug that we are unaware of, but that code has been very thoroughly tested.

Thanks.

Shared hard drive??
 
I just renamed the original shared folder (did not move it) to nonshared, kept all the original 18 files in it. Path: C:\Program Files\LimeWire\Nonshared.
Then I made up a new folder, named it Shared and put 1 file (Acrobat 4.0) in it. Path: C:\Program Files\LimeWire\Shared
I hope this makes it clearer.

Can't connect with Mac version
 
I am a new user and downloaded the Mac version this morning. The software appears to be running fine but the connection never comes through (waited up to 30 min.). So I have not been able to put it to the test yet. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help.

1.6d on OSX
 
I have been using Limewire 1.4 for months and have had no problems at all.
A few weeks ago I took the bait and installed OSX, then Limewire 1.6d.
Since then, I have been having trouble maintaining connections. With OS9 and 1.4, I would have 4TB to 30 TB of files within 60 seconds.
Now, it takes up to 15 minutes to get 4TB-8TB, and as soon as I download (the downloads work fine) a file or two, the connection(s) drop to 150 megs or so. I set the connections for 4, and my TTL to no more than 5.
I'm running it on a 350 G4 with 700 megs of memory, and an ISDN 128 connection. If I maintain 2 connections for an hour I'm lucky. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Praise/Bug/Request
 
First let me say that I am Limewire fan. Back in my stupid-days I used Bearshare which worked fine, but I am furious that about what Bearshare does to your operating system without permission. (When you install Bearshare, it permanently alters your Windows registry, throwing out everything that should be there except for about 3 or 4 items. When my volume control disappeared on the fourth computer I installed it on, I finally traced the common thread back to Bearshare, but it was way too late) DON'T INSTALL BEARSHARE!

To get back on track... I upgraded my Limewire to 1.6 as soon as it became available. It works well and I am quite happy with the latest version. Most notably I like sending it to the tray so I can forget about it and let others share from me all they like.

I do however want to report a small bug. (It's good to report small bugs because that means that there are no major bugs to worry about). On the Monitor tab, I click once to highlight an item that has somebody either downloaded, is downloading, or attempted to download. But before I even have the time to move my mouse to choose what action I want (Kill Selected, Clear Inactive, or Options...), the item always UN-highlights! This makes it impossible to actually use the "Kill Selected" feature since you don't have enough time to click that button after you highlight an item (and don't even try highlighting multiple items).

Now one multi-part request for version 1.7 or 2.0 (whichever is next). First, you should have a "launch limewire when Windows (or other OS) starts". This should only be recommended for those with "always on" connections to the internet. Second, that feature should have an additional option to start minimized in the system tray. This will greatly increase the number of hosts sharing files.

Thank you Limewire :)

v1.6d
 
The new version does not seem to work at all.
After installation, the desktop icon points to:
-cp . RunLime
double clicking produces no response. There does not appear to be an exe file in the installed directory.

Unregistered August 18th, 2001 11:06 PM

I posted a reply earlier about what I thought was a difference in LimeWire involving kde and Gnome. I think I've actually found it's a difference between Mandrake and Redhat, while LimeWire runs normal on RedHat it does not on Mandrake.

anti-bearshare August 20th, 2001 03:37 PM

yes
 
I would like to see LimeWire ported to FreeBSD.

and kde, etc.....

jet350 August 21st, 2001 09:17 AM

Seems that alot of people are haveing problems with this Java error myself included! Do we have a patch to fix this problem???or can limewire post a link so those of us that didnt have a problem with the last version can get that copy back????thanks for the time... Jerry:( :(

anti-bearshare August 22nd, 2001 05:16 AM

anyone know where I can get a linux verison of LimeWire 1.4x?

FreeBSD only has linux's j2sdk-1.3.02 ported at the moment.

afisk August 22nd, 2001 07:28 AM

I'll try to respond to as many people as I can here.

To the original user posting about sharing the entire hard drive, I cannot think of any reason why LimeWire would be listing 16 files as shared when you only have on file in that directory unless you are also sharing a second directory.

To the OSX user seeing reduced horizon statistics -- these numbers are only there to give you a rough estimate of the files available, and they do not accurately reflect the true state of the network. I would not use them to determine the quality of your connection.

For the user who posted the suggestions and bug reports, we will likely do all of these things at some point. The bug in the Monitor tab will definitely be fixed with the next release, and we will add the option to run LimeWire at startup at some point. The only thing that is tricky here is to detect that LimeWire is already running when the user starts another one. Should that start a second LimeWire, or should it detect the original one running and simply make it visible?

Ed- is the target of the shortcut only:

-cp . RunLime

or does it also include something like:

C:\System32\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

(Does it include something like the first part with javaw.exe in it?)


As far as LimeWire for FreeBSD, LimeWire 1.6d should work fine with Java 1.2 and higher, so there should not be any problems with the current version of Java available for FreeBSD.

anti-bearshare August 23rd, 2001 05:37 AM

I got LimeWire 1.6d working with FreeBSD!!! :]
I just had to install the linux-jdk13 port and switch java to javavm in runlime.sh

I'm running Java 2 RE, SE 1.3.0_02

helpppppppppp
 
I downloaded 1.6 and saved it to the folder where 1.4 was. Version 1.4 was over written and 1.6 doesn't work. Clicking on the desktop icon does nothing. Shortcut target is

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

Maybe the RIAA created a non-working Limewire prgram, secretly set up this site, and is merrily watching the installed base of users steadily drop.

Guess it's back to Morpheus

TruStarwarrior August 26th, 2001 02:22 PM

Change your shortcut target to:

C:\WINDOWS\javaw.exe -cp . RunLime

Multiple users on Windows 2000
 
I have a stand alone system at home running Windows 2000. When I log into any accounts other than the one I was in when I installed LimeWire, the 'Open With' box opens up. I had the second user account set as a Power User and changed it to Administrator just in case, but that still doesn't work. LimeWire will only open up when I am logged on to my user account. What can I do to get it to work on all user accounts? This is not a network, I just have several users and one computer. Sorry so long, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Will not upgrade until I'm allowed to begin downloads of
multiple versions of the same filename (as in version 1.4).

I typically start downloads of 2-3 of the same files, then cancel
all but the fastest. For example, one may be downloading at 2KB/sec,
while the other downloads at 45KB/sec. I of course cancel the
2KB file download.

The new version does not allow this, and this is a HUGE feature
that I rely upon for nearly 100% of my downloading activities to
ensure successful downloads before the other hosts drop offline.

Please put this ESSENTIAL feature back into your product.
