sebkarlsson--you owe Ursula and murasame an apology. Your claim they haven't helped is grossly unfounded. Ursula uploads ~4 GB /day and has helped thousands more in this and other forums. You sir, are ignorant. If you have any credibility in other forums and posted a some kind of rationalization of leechers, please advise which forums. No wonder so many ISP's and network managers are trying to kill p2p because of irresponsible leechers. gnutella was severly rocked for almost six months by greedy clients. Compare the numbers for Jan 2003 with today. The graph no longer shows the highs of 500,000 users in the previous year. Currently, the network has slowly recovered, but at the cost of giving up the very desired automatic researching. Now connections from clients who will not upload to the network are being rightly refused. If this has hurt your p2p experience, good. Go away. If you are a legitimate uploader who would like help from the VOLUNTEERS here with specific problems, post your specifics. As for donating--LW allows anyone to compile their own client--for FREE. I can use several, but continue to 'pay' for Pro every six months--as a donation to this ongoing project. Gad--the righteous confidence of selfish ignorance. There. I needed that. /end rant. Carry on. |

Fair enough@Stief Point taken - When I wrote earlier I had not been on these message boards before, and did admitantly explode. I take back that I think Ursula's super should be replaced with s*** moderator! I stand by the fact, however, that the post was unconstructive. The specifics of my problem are that I have been getting plenty of search results to any search I have run, yet after trying each of the files, found that they download stops between 5-15secs. This seems to be either a connection or program issue as it is regular as clockwork, and doesn't seem to rely on the user I attempt to d/l from. Now, I currently share around 2,200 files on limewire, after having changed this 2 weeks ago (just after problems started) from above 10,000 files... I know this is better than most users, so I hope that this has not been the issue! I usually upload around 20 files per day on limewire, 50 with soulseek and less with kazaa. Anyway, that's pretty much it with specifics! Again point taken on the fact that my statement was ignorant, but I do stand by the fact that the previous moderators' posts were unconstructive, if not further argumentative. Bottom line is nevertheless, that Limewire gets excellent search results nearly every time, and problems that restrict the use are extremely aggravating. |

OK. I apologize for suggesting you were a leecher, but profoundly disagee with your perception of Ursula's posts. Ursula is often the peacemaker, and did point out that BearShare has instituted an automatic searcing of sorts (which has already flooded the source of one file so I can't get it this weekend). I think those posts spoke constructively to the issue, but everyone who helps knows how frustrating inconsistent/non-existent downloads can be. Anyway--shall we continue? If your firewall/router or elsewhere upstream does not allow incoming connections on the port of your choice (default is 6346), you can receive results but will need to depend on a third, proxy, computer to get the download going ("Push Requests" I think they are called). Are you able to accept incoming connections? Look in the preferences (Tools->Options) for the bug report setting, and see the sample bug report. There should be a line saying "Received incoming this session: true" |
