How do you explain that Limewire achieves maybe 10-15% successful downloads when a PC running Kazaa sitting on the same desk, at the same time, searching the same Gnutella network
Kazaa does not connect to the Gnutella network, period. Perhaps that might shed a sliver of light on the difference in results. That is all.

Same file being uploaded multiple times by same user
 
When I look at the library section that shows uploaded file with results like 98/99 or 1/2 or 0/2 and only rarely 1/1. When I observe the upload progress bar, it reaches 98% completiion only to disappear and then come back and progress to 98% completion again, over and over sometimes up to 98/98 times

Does this indicate that something is wrong on my side?

These are my particulars:
Limewire 2.7.13
AMD XP 1700+ 1 gig RAM
Windows XP SP1
Linksys Cable/DSL router
Port 6346 forwarded to my computer at 192.168.1.100
Forced Local IP (using my ip address, not 192.168.100)
DSL service 1500 kbs down/ 128 kbs up

This is rediculous. This forum is based on a shoddy self help system. Endless posts about what people think is the reason for a problem and bad suggestions on how to fix it. Not one good answer from the developer. Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away, and I'm tired of reading back and forth posts which amount to nothing more than a "No, YOUR stupid!" argument.

It is undoubtable that limewire 2.8.5 is rediculously flawed. It is undoubtable that much more than a fraction of an improvement to the download errors can be obtained by the users. Limewire needs to do something about this. I would never register a program when they release versions as faulty as 2.8.5!

Bad form limewire. You still insist that people should download 2.8.5, even though it's very flawed. Why is that? If this is the result of beta testing, I'd hate to see that beta. With the recent lawsuits against p2p software, and bad luck, I can understand a rut, but you absolutely must do SOMETHING about this. At least post a reply letting us know that you are doing something to rectify 2.8.5!

You want a response to this inane drivel? How about this: you're all too stupid to use Limewire. Please uninstall the program immediately and subscribe to AOL.

That is all.

All of you, wait for the next version, it comes with many, many exciting new features and maybe some new bugs to talk about. I'm a little bored by all this "Could not move to library","Can't upload", "Can't download" and "Can't connect" complaints. There is no solution for them at the moment and the LimeWire developers are aware of your complaints.

Thanks Trap_jaw: you've proven your right to speak by trying to help. Finally, someone with some credibility has said "it's a problem and will be fixed."

Please make this a sticky:

Please also use your inside contacts to get Support to finally respond so we don't have to be told our ignorance (readily admitted) is stupidity. I noticed Sam was given a few bucks in appreciation of his work. You too, I hope.

I doubt my "inside contacts" are really that good. I'm just reading the developer mailing lists.

stief February 10th, 2003 12:26 PM

Oh I see--you were being sarcastic when you said said the developers were aware and something is being done.

Silly me.

>Oh I see--you were being sarcastic when you said said the developers were aware and something is being done.

no he wasn't. the developers are aware, and are discussing problems on the development mailing lists, where contributers (like trap_jaw) are also active.

You misunderstood.

You said: "Please also use your inside contacts to get Support to finally respond so we don't have to be told our ignorance [...]"
I answered: "I doubt my 'inside contacts' are really that good." meaning that my contacts aren't good enough to get LimeWire's Support or the LimeWire developers to respond. They aren't really very communicative at the moment as you might have noticed.
