Werner:

I am also using 2.8.5 Pro on DSL.

I have been struggling with the same issues. especially the disconnects, reconnects and "recoverable" crashes.

I notice the progress screens for uploads and downloads does not refresh until you switch the view to them. This was probably done to save resources but I also notice that the refresh process seems to increase the crashes.

I reported the issues to Limewire and also in the beta area of the forums a couple days ago. Like you after reporting to Limewire I was advised that 2.8.5 is buggy. The strange thing is it is still offered as the current upload.

I am a strong Limewire fan and would not consider switching back to others unless things get a lot worse & even then I would probably just roll back. I have tried several other programs with less success then Limewire. Even my buggy version still functions better then most of the other P2P programs at their best.

I have noticed a couple things -

1. The crashes seem to occur more frequently after a "refresh" of the shared directories or switching between the upload and download screens which creates a refresh of the progress bars.

2. The "can not move to library" errors seem to be related to what Limewire percieves as a corrupt file. I have found, at least in previous versions, that Limewire can not properly determine if a file is corrupt.

3. This version seems to rehash every download on completion with no better success at determining the validity of the file then previous versions.

Personally, I will live with it a couple more days and wait for 2.8.6 to resolve the issues or if it doesn't appear I may roll back to 2.7.13 which was working well for me. When you play with a beta you get burned on occasion. That is part of the process and I will live with it.

Norm
