If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client (* this is important for helping solve problems) ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you.

Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)


Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

I was able to reproduce this. The only thing that I changed for the Mac packaging was the Java version, so I switched back to 11 and now it works. I've updated the binary on the website, please download and try again.


I apologize about this, and about the "unidentified developer" warning. I really need to get my Apple developer membership sorted.


Quote:
Generally most of what you have allocated into the MacOS starter folder usually goes into the Resources folder
I will read up on the proper way of doing things and move them around. I will also read up on the PkgInfo file and see about creating one.


Quote:
There appears to be a lot of references to mail within the app
You're probably referring to the various ".crt" files inside MacOS/certificates. That is just a naming convention for the certificates that I2P uses to connect to the bootstrap servers (it's equivalent of GWebCaches).



Quote:
Does that mean the dev(s) are monitoring everyone's MW (and system)?
This is an important question, and the answer is no, BUT I am running a MuWire hostcache (aka GWebCache) which crawls the network, so if I wanted to I could build a graph of who is connected to who. Also, I run an update server to whom MW nodes report their current version, so I have an idea of who is running which version. Note that I don't see actual ip addresses, just the cryptographic identities.


Quote:
Any possibility of shifting to self-updating options in the future?
Certainly, once I get my Apple Developer membership sorted it can happen. There are some anonymity issues with that though; right now it's possible to download MW through I2P and I don't know the ip addresses of most MW users. If I start using Sparkle I will be able to see that, so it needs to be a very optional feature.


Quote:
One occasion I noticed after removing the files so I could rename them (the physical files)
I don't know how iTunes handles things, but it's important to mention that MW doesn't like when things change while they're shared. So if you need to rename, edit or delete a file you should un-share it from MW first.


Quote:
I thought for music it might be best to rename the file starting with the artist, album and song title in that order.
The comment system in MW exists exactly to alleviate the need for this. Any keywords you put in a comment will be searchable, so even if the file is named "song.flac", as long as it has the artist, album and song name in the comments others will be able to find it.

Works now. Thanks.

I did unshare the folder listing first. Perhaps if I unshared each of the files first it might have made a difference. Just seemed easier to unshare the folder instead of a dozen or more files.

But is the comment system limited to only MW searches?

That inspires another question. What chances are there of my MW finding search results from other ip2 clients in other groupings/communities, etc. or vise versa? Example i2phex.

The Trust feature I find to be a difficult concept. How can I be certain a host is not a honey-pot investigator even if the files appear to be fine?

Yes, the comment system as well as everything shared on MW is only visible to MW.

Interesting idea but I doubt it will happen. I2Phex specifically hasn't seen any development activity in years as far as I know. If there appears a well-documented platform that I can integrate with, then I will certainly consider doing that.

Well that's generally a problem with every trust system. The best advice I can give is to take more things into account than just whether the files are genuine - for example what the user shares (can check via "Browse Host") and what the user searches for (can set up a ".*" regex rule in the Content Control Panel). Of course out-of-MW communication with the user in question is always a good idea. But neither of these is a silver bullet.

Sorting the apple developer certificate was easier than expected So now the bundle on the site is signed and no longer shows the warning. I will work on making it a .dmg eventually.

I've yet to see an update message. Unless I closed the message without thinking. But I have restarted the app over the past day. Edit: Another restart and no update message. I do wonder if this issue is osx specific. I've been uploading the 0.5.7 update parts so perhaps those on linux & windows have been receiving the update messages. I'm still on 0.5.6

But doesn’t this mean that potentially people (downloaders) will be sharing "song.flac" without support information and thus a little meaningless? People would need to guess what song of the same title and artist, etc. That is not only if they choose to share what they download but also to a smaller extent for themselves to recall what details existed if the file's ID tags were not particularly inclusive. I've previously seen poorly (or barely or non-existent) tagged files across networks and it can be annoying.

I guess that does bring in the Trust factor concept about the accuracy of sidecar files. But once in a while a person might also make an honest mistake.

Any possibility of adding interactivity with the uploads window?
Things like right-clicking with options such as view file information, find in library, find on disk, etc. This is particularly relevent if a shared file is simply "song.flac" and your library has multiple files of same song but different versions (such as live/studio/rehearsal, jam, etc.)

Probably due to the way uploads are listed via Java, the uploads listings are difficult to select for more than a second or two.

That puzzles me, 0.5.6 should download a mac-specific update file called "MuWire-mac-0.5.7.zip". Can you open the file ~/Library/Application Support/MuWire/MuWire.properties and tell me what the "updateType" property says?

What you describe is a big issue and I don' t know if a perfect solution exists. Comments in MW only "travel one hop". But I'm working on a new feature which will help when people rename the files they download, amongst other things. More details here https://github.com/zlatinb/muwire/wi...e-Certificates

I'll look into it. The selection thing is fixable for sure, I just never thought the uploads window would need to be interactive so didn't bother to preserve the selection across updates.

updateType=jar

I had thought the download updates issue had stopped. But I noticed I downloaded two 0.5.7's and 0.5.6 was in that attempting to download with unknown eta status.

Can you stop MuWire, change the value of the updateType property to "mac" (without the ") and start MuWire again? About a minute after startup it will query the update server and should start downloading the right update package.

First time I've seen a macupdate in the downloads window. But looks like it will be some time before I get it. I presume I receive a popup message after completion.

Appears to have finished downloading. But no notifications. Or do I need to restart?
