Lee, thank you! You really do crack me up! What a gas!!!! Do you work for Limewire by any chance. You certainly know alot of big words related to peer to peer. Ohhhhh!!! I forgot, you are Lee, the President of LeeWare.

Maybe you could ask the Vice President of LeeWare to research the issue unless of course she's in the the kitchen making a meat loaf.

Seriously Mr. President, please save your self gratifying posts for forums where people don't use their brains. You will defend Limewire no matter how poorly it performs.

pokpok,

I see from your comments that you're a person that likes to talk just for the sake of hearing himself speak. I'm glad that you find my comments humorous, no, I do not work for Limewire and my comments are not politically motivated.

My comments merely reflect a more positive experience with the application-whereas your comments, appeared to be completely non-constructive. But hey, it's a public forum and you're free to express any opinion you like.

I don't like meat loaf-So, the "Vice president" is busy reading a book. I assume by your last comment regarding people not using their brains, you're talking about people on this forum.

It is interesting to me and I'm sure most of the people here that the best explanation for the problem you could come up with is, that the program "sucks."

Now, it would appear to me, and I can always be wrong-- that someone who holds this opinion of this application, especially when there are alternatives available wouldn't spend their time trolling the forum with such negativity.

But I guess it takes all types to make the world go-round and on this note, I'll leave the floor to you so that you can continue entertaining yourself.

Have fun!

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.

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.
