No change. I stuck to 0.5.10 because I wanted to be sure the update system was working. I changed the check for updates to every 3 hrs a couple days ago.

I presume you tested the osx update working ok? If yes then it must be something at my end.

Not as thoroughly as I should have; more specifically I didn't test when the installation has existed from the 0.4 series like in your case. I saw someone successfully downloading the mac bundle from me and I presume it was you, so that part is working. I'll get busy trying to figure this out...

Is there any setting(s) I should change or delete in order to fix the update issue? I had not used MuWire for about a week. After starting I downloaded an update, then I noticed several hours later I was downloading another. Then some days later noticed I had downloaded quite a few. Not sure how long I've been connected (does not appear to be a tool to show this) but I guess it is about 4 days. (I have uploaded 100% of the part update.)

So not only am I not receiving update notifications but the old issue of multliple copies of the update downloaded. That's not especially fair on those who are sharing both the bandwidth and their upload MB totals. Nobody else has come forward about this issue?



Edit: It might be my fault: I found an issue within my own setup. The download folder didn't appear to exist so I guess this might be what's caused the problem. I'll see. My downloads folder is not on the system drive but a sub-folder elsewhere. I don't like using the system drive for anything but the system. This approach might be safer in more ways than one, not only the health and efficiency of the drive.

Sorry I have been working on a web interface for MW and haven't really had a chance to investigate in detail the update issue. Nobody else has reported it so far.




This could be indeed what's causing the issue. I don't check for the existence or ability to write to the selected download and incomplete folders, I should.


Can you try manually downloading a file (a search for "muwire" will yield many results) and then seeing if the downloaded file appears in your shared files list? If it does, then the update should work.


Another thing to try is to disable automatic download of updates. With that disabled, you should get an update notification immediately when MW discovers about a new version exists. But let's see if fixing the download folder makes a difference first.


Thank you for the time you've put into this; you're helping me find many scenarios I haven't thought about.

The incomplete folder did exist.
Won't let me download it. I'm guessing due to the incompletes titled with .zip.part and .zip.pieces
