Improvements to OSX version.
 

After my ISP has disconnected me (which it does every 2 hours), my machine dials up again (because I have iGetter running in the background, which does this), and I get given a new TCP/IP number. Unfortunately, Limewire, refuses to connect, find files or resume any downloads unless I quit Limewire and start it up again. I'd like to leave limewire running over night, but this means it will only work for the first 2 hours.

Suggestions:
Limewire re-dial option, would re-connect when disconnected, number of times optional (look at iGetter for OSX for ideas)

Limewire should reset itself, allowing it to link with the new connection, without having to Quit and restart Limewire.

I've mentioned it before, but Quit should work as default, and one checked 'Postpone Quit during transfer'.option in the Preferences would prevent this from happening until the transfer was finished. Do not word as Shutdown, this I believe could be confused with, (um er...) Shutdown. :)

Sometimes the download window clears, and there is no way to move partial downloads from the Library back to the download window. I think there should be more options with resuming a download. I've looked for 'Download any' as suggested by the FAQs and couldn't find the option.

Overall though, I'm very impressed with the OSX version, and will buy the pro version when it's working well.

Thanks

(also get rid of the flashing red advert on this forum, it hurts my eyes !)

Hey, here's something to try while we are waiting for that great new promised upgrade. Reviewed by mac os x hints:

'If anyone is bored stupid waiting for Limewire to connect, find and then download your files, then try Acquisition, a new Gnutella alternative.

I have used this for about a day, and everything I've searched for has had results within a few seconds, and I've been able to download the located files. Acquisition has a fantastic user interface, is built using Cocoa, has freely available source, and is incredibly stable ... what more could you ask for? "

Cocoa, not JAVA!!!! Y A Y !!!!!!!!

Aquisition
 

I have used that in the past, but I'm not sure it can resume a download, and I've had limited success downloading things on it.

However, I've just fired it up again, and it's told me there's a new version to download, so I'll give that a try. I have to agree, JAVA is a good idea on paper, but it's not too hot in reality. Cocoa version of Limewire would kick ***. I'll let you know what I think of the current Aquisition. Thanks.

Gary.
