gtk keeps looking for files that are long gone
 
I'm running Limewire 3.something, and I like to sit around and monitor my monitor window. I have a lot of files, so I tend to share only some of them at any particular time.

Recently I moved some mp3 files from one shared folder to another. In the week since them, I have gotten hit every 10-20 seconds by the same gtk/0.93 luser looking for one of the files I moved. This file is *still shared*; it just has a different filepath. This means that gtk keeps querying like a zombie for a file that is not found. The heck? What happens when my IP number changes? Some other unfortunate gets hammered with this useless query?

Why doesn't gtk decide that it "needs more sources" and let the poor user requery. The file is still there, just in a different place.

Besides, isn't all this useless requerying bad for gnutella?

That's clearly a bug and should be fixed immediately - especially since gtk-gnutella should send an urn-request anyway which could be served by LimeWire even if the path of the file changed.
