I have no hosts listed under connections? There used to be three and I had no problem now 1hr later nothing. Help

Hello!

There is a maximum time that LW will continue to find new UltraPeers and also there is a maximum connection attempt time to individual hosts. Excactly how long that time is I do not know but if you find yourself in an unusual void space of the network and LW fails at finding new UltraPeers to connect to whitin a certain amount of time or if it finds them but it takes to long time to connect then LW will loose all the 3 connections and just sit there unconnected and it does not help to use the Reconnect option either. The only thing that you can do is to either manually add the IP address of a UltraPeer that you know the IP to or just to simply shut down LW and once again Launch LW and it will probably connect to Gnutella. Also to connect to Gnutella and get a stable connection these days requires that you are using version 2.6X or newer that has GWebCache support.

Personally I think that this maximum search time for new UltraPeers and maximum connection time is a bug that should be fixed by the LW Team. I only suffers from it when connected to only 3 UltraPeers(The only option in 2.9X versions) and it happens more often when on a modem connection because it simply takes longer to connect to individual UltraPeers on a slow connection.

I have tried to re boot my mach. but still no hosts show up. I wish I at least knew one I.P. to at least try. I also noticed that since the host diapeared no one is conecting to me to down load either? My i'll reboot tomorrow and try then I guess I'll just delete the program?

Here's one for you. Right now I have downloads coming in, yet the connection light is RED and there are no connections listed. It is not searching for a connection either, it is off. Also, Incoming Searches are Enabled, non listed.

Cheers,

Ned

Hello!

By default LimeWire will continue the transfers even after you have been disconnected from Gnutella and can no longer search. This means that you can both continue to download a file and others can upload from you even after you got disconnected from Gnutella just as long as the transfer was initiated while you where still connected. To change this option in LimeWire select Tools>Options>Shutdown

and here select the Option Shutdown imediatelly and then click Apply and then OK. And then shut down LW and Launch it again.

Yes, that IS how it should work, and I have it set to shut down, however, it did as I said.... What type of "Magical" computers do the LimeWire staff own that never seem to have any problems with LimeWire? It seems these "Magical" computer never are able to reproduce the errors. I would like to sell me $3000.00 Dell and get a "Magical" computer right now!
