DL speed Problem
 

I have been having a problem with frostwire 4.10.0.3 beta it will not get above 15KB/s DL speeds even with a large # of host per file. Whereas LW will dl the same files at 500KB/s. Now I still have the .limewire folder in documents and settings is it possible that this is causing the problem.

I am having no problem with UL speed when The screen shot was taken I was UL to 5 at 30KB/s I then set it to unlimited UL it maxed my connection out at 45KB/s.

Java is using between 4% and 25% of CPU and occasionally spikes at 60% which is a little high I am running a AMD64 X2 3800+ OC to 2.5 Ghz 2 gigs of ram. I have a feeling it would freeze a lesser CPU. Memory is normal around 54,000. It appears to slow down my machine slightly.

Ouch! zab said he found a nasty download bug, and looks like you hit it. Those numbers really show something is wrong: nice screenshot.

zab's fix made it to LW's 4.10.5 release , and I noticed the FW team have updated the sourcecode, so I expect there will be a new release soon.

Well the new beta didn't help the problem I am having any There is a stack trace if it will help any. I used the beta below.

Here is the stack Trace let me know if you need any particular Stack Traces of more Stack Traces.

Just to let you know Grandpa, that beta is not an official release.

not an official release?

that's right. The official releases are noted on the www.frostwire.com page; all the project files are listed at sourceforge.

btw, thanks to ultracross for finding and fixing one cause of the CPU bug, so it should be good for the next release.

well I'm really confused then. what do the other releases on the sourceforge site count as? (maybe i'm not understanding what "official" and "unofficial" mean in this context)

hehe

Yes, I know what you mean. :)

The files on SF are released for limited testing, and some of them went "Official."

The 4.10.5 is a good example of a release that isn't ready for widepread distribution, so the message on www.frostwire.com still points to the earlier version.

When the devs are satisfied that a release is ready for wider distribution, the notification will show up on the "Official" frostwire.com page.

By all means, feel free to try the ones on sourceforge, but just be aware that if the frostwire.com page is still indicating an earlier version, the latest one might not be tested as much.

k, thanks stief.
May I suggest that files on the SF site be marked in the filename as either "official" or "unofficial"?
