LimeWire 3.7.1 Beta!
 

The long-awaited beta release of LimeWire 3.7.1 is finallly available! This version includes a number of new features and updates, including:

- Support for international searches. Users can now search for and share files for all languages!
- Better connections. This version will monitor your connections and make sure that you stay connected, addressing the connection problems affecting so many users.
- A new search progress bar in each search tab that indicates the progress of your search.
- New button linking to the LimeWire MagnetMix site for promoting the use of the MAGNET protocol for efficient distribution of content on the Gnutella network.
- Fix for problem where new search results would deselect the selected result.
- The use of the Apache Jakarta Project's HttpClient open source program for making HTTP requests.
- The mp3 player can now play all bitrates and performs better.
- More fault-tolerant downloading.
- Improved efficiency of indexing between LimeWires and other clients.
- More efficient distribution of host information throughout the network.
- More robust firewall detection.
- Better statistics for connections.
- New Linux-style release cycle. All odd release numbers are now in the beta series (all 3.7.x versions will be betas), with full releases coming as even ".0" versions. So the next official LimeWire release will be LimeWire 3.8.0.

That's about it. If any beta testers have been experiencing connection problems, can you specify which ISP you're on? Thanks to everyone as always for their tremendous help testing the betas.

As always, the betas are available at:

Thanks again.

Limeshop
 

Well it looks that you've included limeshop on mac osx basic.... beside the fact that mac people won't like it (who would ;) ), it should'nt be THAT difficult to uninstall. I mean I trashed the lime prefpane, then I had to forcequit the process java process to empty the trash (Lw was quit previously). Now everytime I start LW the sh process is getting all the CPU it can, I have to force quit it. Shouldn't LW stop trying opening Limeshop when it isn't there anymore? That should be easy to uninstall so people technically orientated (those who complain on mac forums like macnn.com) won't bitch much about spyware introduced on mac (a first!) by LW. Expect much bitching on that when that news gets well spread (and the limeshop shouldn't take so much cpu cycles doing nothing BTW).
(Edit: I launched LW another time and this time the process sh wasn't lauched: good!)


On an other matter, I tried a couple of magnet links and right after I killed them. Now every time I open LW, these files go in the download window, which is pretty annoying.

Also I tried French caracters searching on a lan (two LW connected by Rendez-vous) and it works very well. A definite + for me.

All for now
Ciao

I'm running that jum and I don't see the shereaza problem you have.

How are you getting it again?

Shareaza
 

Salut Blackbird, I tried in UP this morning, and it does it again. You just have to get a Shareaza leaf.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'll keep an eye out for the Shareaza leaf issue. On the LimeShop front, we'll definitely make sure to not eat any CPU if you've manually removed it. -- thanks for pointing it out.

We'll also look at the magnet issue.

I see it now. Thanks et viola.

LimeWire 3.7.x also decreases the amount of time spent in the 'Saving File' state of downloading. Mac Classic users had been mentioning that the 'Verifying File' and 'Saving File' states took too long. Please let us know if this has fixed atleast part of the problem.

Thanks.

Well, to answer your questions.

I pulled out my old original ibook running OS 9.2.2. Downloaded the 3.7 MB snoodsetup.exe file (magnet hosted). The verification process took a long time. Virtually no time for saving. I accounted this to the ibook being 300mghz.

For comparison, running classic on my current system, it took about 1 second per 3% of verifying file done and no time for saing file. To run as a control, I dled the same file on my jumOSX version. It took no time verifying file. For all I know, it didn't even do it it went so fast.

downloaded 3.7.1, still cannot get past "loading core components".

We need a little more information for it to be of any use, pjkyles.

What operating system are you using (Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows ME, Mac OS9, Mac OS8, Mac OSX 10.1, Mac OSX 10.2, Mac OSX 10.3)?

If you know, what version of Java are you using too?

Vendor ID
 

Salut, I found that LW 3.7 displays results from GIFT, MRPH for the first time since spring 2003 (they are however rare) GREAT! But there are also weird vendor ID, when you dl from them they seem to be LWires, Phex, Morpheus etc... Is there a corruption of the vendor IDs by some nodes? Here is an exemple:
http://cmt.homeip.net/documents/vendeur.jpg

Merci

Xolox used to put some binary information into the vendor id field of queryhits, I'm not sure whether you are seeing yet another Xolox version or some other client that behaves the same way.

Vendor IDs
 

Salut Trap_Jaw, no it isn't Xolox, most of the time when you click to download it is LW (3.5.8, 3.615 etc...) and sometimes Phex, Morpheus, Bearshare. It is weird as the results work when you download... maybe a bug in LW as I have nerver seen results like that when using other Gnet servents (maybe they are filtering those though). And those IDs are different each time, not a pattern of -=/+ for exemple (or like the one of the sreenshot above).

À+

Note that if you click on a result to start a download, LimeWire will not always start to download from the host which sent the result.

Thanks very much for the observations on vendor IDs. We found a bug in our handling of query results that was preventing us from displaying results from Gift and Morpheus, among others, as you noted. So, there may be another bug in our processing of their vendor IDs that we'll have to look into. Many of us are on vacation right now (myself included), so please be patient if we're not immediately responsive.

Thanks again everyone.

3.7.1 Bata
 

shoud I unstall my current vr 3.6.15 first :confused:

It's noot necessary to do that. The installer should do so automatically.

thank you much I am now downloading the Beta ver and am thinking of going pro that is a big help;)

Search Tab Progress Bars Dont Update
 

In the beta, I much enjoy the progress bars in the search tabs. However, when you right-click and click "repeat search", the bars do not function and remain at 100%.

Just a note that I think would probably be a quick bugfix.

Good catch!

It's fixed now in our development version.

The next beta version (3.7.4) is probably going to come out sometime after the new year, as many of us our on vacation now.

Still not connected with 3.7.1 !
 

Having the problem with not being connected for more than a split sec. (and not being able to fix it with any of the good tips) made me upgrade to the beta LW 3.7.1. But unfortunately I still have the problem. Does that mean that I am behind some evil firewall, or do you have some other clever tips I could try ?

N!!!

Using: Powerbook G4, 400Mhz, OSX 10.2.
