Beta 1.6d available--please try

[crohrs]

The beta version of LimeWire 1.6d is now available for download at http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download_beta. The new features in this release (over 1.6c) are:

-System tray support on all flavors of Windows
-Installer should be slightly more robust on Windows
-Some minor bug fixes

We'd appreciate your help in testing this version. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
LimeWire team

Downloaded. Installed. Run.

Same problem as with 1.6b and 1.6c:
Can't Connect Anywhere At All.

Deleted. Worthless. Don't download. Use 1.4b instead.

kiriuja:

The connection logic in 1.6d is the same as in LimeWire 1.4b. None of that code changed. Can you send your limewire.props files for both 1.4b and 1.6d (if you've still got it) to crohrs at limewire dot com.

I'm guessing you're firewalled?

I've sent you the file.

Yes, I am firewalled. However, if you look at the message "Can't connect with Version 1.6b" by gtford, the guy is having the exact same problem, and he is not firewalled.

If like you said it's the same connection logic, then it's just a silly bug somewhere, and the only problem is reproducing it. As a matter of fact, nothing at all is showing up in the grid window that's in the Connected Hosts portion of the Connections tab, no matter which Connect button I click.

My system is Wi***, and gtford is running WinME. Please let me know if you need any more information.

I am connected to the net via a server that uses IP Masquerading.
Version 1.4 connects without problems while the 1.6 versions do not. Bearshare 2.2.6 also manages to connect.
I am running Win2000.

I hope you can find and remove that nasty bug soon.

Same here. 1.6b no connect though 1.4 does fine. I am on win 2k as well. I tried to reinstall and still no go.

I can't get as far as connecting, because the program will not install. All goes well till I get the message "Limewire is now installing the Java2TM Runtime Environment, v 1.3.1. This may take a few minutes. Please wait." I wait and wait, and nothing happens. Sometimes it doesn't even get that far - I receive the error message:

'An installation support file "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\[bb2943f9-0cc5-4da2-95fe-b5c6e41eb03e}\j2re-1_3_1-win.exe" could not be installed. Access is denied.'

I have tried running from current location and saving then running, same result. And the problem is that I had to remove v 1.4 before I could even try to install. Is that useable version still available anywhere?

[crohrs]

To the people who say they can't connect with 1.6x:

When you start up your LimeWire and go to the Connections tab, does anything appear there? If so what?

If the answer is no, here's an experiment to try:
<ol>
<li>Go to the connections tab.
<li>Make sure "Keep this many connections" is set to 3.
<li>Make sure LW has no connections up. (If it's trying some, delete them.)
<li>Press "clear" on the HostCatcher, in the bottom right corner.
<li>Type in "gnutellahosts.com" and press "add".
<li>Tell me what happens. Does it connect to gnutellahosts.com? Do addreses fill up in the bottom right corner? You can also repeat the experiment with "router.limewire.com".
</ol>

kiriuja: thanks for the limewire.props file. I was hoping it was a configuration issue, but I don't see any problems. Hopefully the above experiment will resolve the problem.

James,

Do you have space on your C: drive? Maybe you don't have room to install the JVM.
