"it shouldn't happen with ANY version" is a combination joke/reliability prod.

i'm trying to make you guys aware that "the bug" isn't fixed, because "the bug" has been reported fixed 3 times and i'm still seeing the same symptom.

it doesn't happen to anything downloading from me (and i've been running bearshare for at least 4 years now) except limewire.
the "strange thing" that's happening, if you read the posts on the subject, is that limewire is requesting BEYOND the EOF, and bearshare is politely truncating the request to what's available, which, for some reason, ALWAYS happens to be 10 bytes. limewire then repeats the too-large request, and round we go forever.
note that the victim bearshare source has never reported to the misbehaving limewire downloader the wrong file size that limewire is requesting.

and how does my attitude affect the presence or absence of bugs in limewire and/or anyone's ability to fix them?
i've half a mind to buy a pallet of dramamine, several barf pails, learn java, and fix the damn thing myself.
