Not sure what's going wrong. LimeWire should be listening on a specific port for the request. To be honest, I'm not sure this will be fixed before 4.0 unless it's also happening on Windows and/or OSX.

"netstat -lpnt" in linux shows limewire listening on both port 6346 and 45100.

Code:

$ netstat -lpnt

tcp        0      0 :::45100                :::*                    LISTEN      13706/java

I changed the browser from "firefox $URL$" to "konqueror $URL$" and finally could see what URL it is trying.

This is a sample url that is resulting in a message in konqueror saying "Connection to host localhost is broken":
http://localhost:45100/magcmd/detail?addr=<my-ip>:6346&n0=LimeWireLinux.bin&u0=GZLEHA3FR46YNHEU5 AEFUTAM5HYEEEMF

When I change "localhost" to "127.0.0.1", the magnet details page loads just fine. It is only when it is set to "localhost" that it results in limewire rejecting the connection.

My /etc/hosts file has:

Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost
# special IPv6 addresses
::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

fe00::0         ipv6-localnet

ff00::0         ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1         ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2         ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3         ipv6-allhosts

A telnet session:

Code:

$ telnet localhost 45100
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /magcmd/detail?addr=<my-ip>:6346&n0=LimeWireLinux.bin&u0=GZLEHA3FR46YNHEU5AEFUTAM5HYEEEMF HTTP/1.1

Yet telnet 127.0.0.1 and pasting the exact same thing gets HTML as a result. It seems like LimeWire doesn't like SuSE's usage of IPv6.

Code:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 45100
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
