replace file with new version?

I've searched for more information about mfc42.dll on google and it seems like it is possible to find another version on the file and replace it. It has worked with other programs.

Gnucleus is far superior to the competition. This version of the dll works for me. 6.00.8665.0

Does this program use spyware? I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I am just curious :).

No, It does not...

Try Phex... at least it does continuos searches...
PS: It's JAVA based

Gnucleus (debug build 27/8/2001)
Using Windows 2000 SP2 Build 2195
Dual Celeron 300a@450
256Mb Ram
Cable Modem

Problem seems to be related with ports and or an rouge Peer sending some corrupt data also... the strange thing is only win2k+ is having this problem...

Stack
memcpy(unsigned char * 0x01b26e71, unsigned char * 0xdddddddd, unsigned long 398) line 216

code
LeadUp1:
and edx,ecx ;U - trailing byte count
-> mov al,[esi] ;V - get first byte from source
mov [edi],al ;U - write second byte to destination
mov al,[esi+1] ;V - get second byte from source

asm
10219932 mov al,byte ptr [esi]

PS:
Please try to read GDF from time to time...
Go to the database area (GDF To Do List) and see the references to the "GNet query/reply filtering"
And if possible post 0.6 protocol in the file area if you got it...

continous searches

As far as I know Gnucleus continue searching forever too...
Swabby can confirm this I think.

Right now I am using MFC42.DLL version 6.00.8665.0 as suggested by another poster.
It was copied from the Windows folder.
The good news is that Gnucles does not crash as often as before.

no probs here...but

I've been running Gnucleus on a couple of older machines under WI*** OSR (a 386dx33 and a 486dx-2/66)

no problems with MFC42 crashing however I've noticed a few things - Gnucleus seems to "aggressively" open new sockets (default settings) and this leads to freezing *under SOCKSCap* due to the many unreachable attempts (which SOCKSCap has poor handling of/has to timeout for)

My firewall reports unauthorized attempts for DNS, IRC and Ident (in) - this is with all chat functions/autoupgrade turned off/disabled...

We run tight security here so this seems "sloppy" to me - every possible outgoing attempt should be clearly spelled out & under control (from with the program) - only the firewall keeps it in line..

Under SOCKSCap this is problematic - the DNS requests are not handled properly under the SOCKS 4 server we run here.. I have tunneled to a public SOCKS 5 server though.

It runs a bit sluggish on the '386 (of course) but overall I really like Gnucleus - tons of features I can use plus seems stable and reliable (I've only been using it for a few days)

We run it here machine to machine., it also works well with the original Gnutella (V.56)

MFC seems pretty good (better than VB or especially java) - other things like wordpad use MFC and works fine - pretty fast on slower machines too.. We've been using Gnutella all this time - looks like Gnucleus is going to replace it - also makes a fine "reflector" for the other Gnutella's - filtering out the search crap and allowing them to find results...

The problem may be caused by too much of different version of mfc42.dll (WinDVD as a example) in the computer. My solution is to change all the mfc42.dll to mfc42.bak and copy the one that Windows (which you may find in c:\windows\system) is using to each programs directory. Seems it's working to me....I'm using WinME..
