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.

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.

Sorry Sam and trap_jaw--my mistake. I appreciate that you guys contribute solutions and generously try to help. Those like me who are users and want to share our files need to know where to look for solutions. I'd thought these forums were the place.

Should I be trying to read the developer mailing lists?
Should I watch here for a response from Limewire?

Thanks for any answer.

Respectfully--Stief.

You are welcome to read it but I don't know if the posts will make much sense for you at first, unless you have some basic programming knowledge. But don't worry, I didn't have that either when I started reading it.

However I have to warn you, the dev mailinglists are not very exciting at all. If you are looking for all kinds of cool insider infos, it's probably not the right place to go.

Btw. I'm just about to write a weekly news flash about LimeWire development in the open discussion forum.

Thanks trap_jaw
http://www.limewire.org/project/www/MailingList.html is the place to start, I assume. Real info beats "cool insider" stuff anyday.

You computer boys do run on so with that fancy jargon...

Had 2.7 - got music.

People came on with 2.8 and killed me dead.

I got 2.8 - don't get music.

Same computer, same server, same operator.

You've got problems.

See how easy that was.

Actually you are the one having problems, because you are the one who cannot download any music. Unless you are able to describe your problem beyond "It doesn't work", it might very well stay your problem because I did not experience anything like that.
