Question 90% of incoming dropped

I don't know why, but whatever host i connect to, I get around 90% dropped incoming, while outgoing seems to be fine.

I am behind a router, but I have the ports forwarded. The issue persists, whether I have forced IP or not.

Has anybody come across that problem?

That's normal for clients running in leaf mode.

Thanks for the info. But, wait...

Are you serious?

I don't think it was like that in pre 2.8.something version, also, a lot more searches came through.

What's the technical reasons behind this?

The technical reason for dropping so many messages is that acting as a leaf you will receive many pongs that you won't pass to other hosts, so they are counted as dropped messages.

You might very well be seeing less queries than before, because Gnutella is still abused by greedy clients. - LimeWire 2.9.5 (it's still a little buggy, so I don't think it's going to be released before next week) will tackle this problem by dropping all requeries it encounters (that includes of course that you won't be allowed to send any requeries either - all you will be allowed to do is searching manually).

OK, that makes sense.

Although it really seems that the dropped I/O column is a bit misleading then. It makes it seem like something was not running properly. An interface issue.

regarding the re-queries: does that mean that once a search is done, and a download has begun, limewire will not attempt to find further sources?

again, thanks a lot for the info. This is really helpful!

Hello!

The Swarmed download function will still be there but you have to manually search for new sources for the file and if LW finds any it will still attempt to download from those new sources aswell.

By the way trap_jaw do you know if the Add To Wishlist function will be gone aswell?

I don't know yet, - technically it would be possible to send requeries for them.
"Add to wishlist" still exists although it will not send any requeries.
