let's try it in english...

I have a little problem since i've installed de latest Leopard update.
Before the update, I was using Leopard 10.5.1 and LimeWire Pro 4.12.6. LimeWire shows files with rankings (stars) and files without rankings. (unwanten/undesirable files ??, is this the good translation?)

Because of a few problems in Leopard, I did a clean installation of Leopard, installed the latest update 10.5.2, and the same LimeWire Pro 4.12.6.
I noticed there were no bad or unwanted files, only good files with a ranking/stars.
I've checked all the preferences, and set the option for the unwanted files.
I also replaced the new prefs files with the old prefs from the backup. Same problem.

I've installed the latest LW Pro version (4.16.6), but same problem.
This is not a major problem, Limewire works excellent! Although it's a bit strange.


Why can't I see those bad/unwanted files?
Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

(sorry for the bad translation)
Thx.

The stars represent your chances of connection & successful download of those files. If it's a 4 star, you have a very good chance of connecting to them. If it's a one or 2 star then it may be a dial up user or someone who is multitudes of hops away, or/and perhaps behind an unconfigured firewall (hops are ISP's between you & them, some may shape p2p bandwidth).

The reason no stars showed might have been a java issue solved with an update of Java.

Thx for the quick answer.
In the past I had a few files with stars, and much more files without stars.

Sometimes I could find good things amoung the bad files.

You think the reason I'm not seeing files without stars/rangkings anymore, is a java issue?
Are you familiar with the Mac OS X? How can I change or update Java?

(sorry for the bad translation)

The OSX update you did may have fixed that issue, it may have included a java update or your clean install may have fixed a java issue. Yes I use OSX, but haven't upgraded to Leopard yet .. still using Tiger 10.4.

The stars don't necesarily mean good or bad files .. just your chances of successfully downloading them.

ok, that's clear to me.

One more thing...last question...
Do I see less or an equal quantity of files now?
I have the feeling it's equal...


One remark : I think Limewire became much more faster, faster in startup (finding network), and faster finding files over the internet...
I think it has something to do with the last update 10.5.2.
Very good!

It sounds to me that your Java or the earlier java was not 100%, & after the update of OSX it also updated java with an improved version.

The fact you didn't see stars listed beside search results before suggests something was wrong.
