IIRC, that's a race condition that settles down after a while. Actually, Sam just posted on something similar at http://limewire.org/fisheye/changelo...20050626153915

Limewire 4.9 works fantastically for me. I've had only two issues with it, both minor:

1. This "bug" has been present since 4.8, when Limewire starts up, it is not fully maximized as it was upon closeout. It leaves a little space at the bottom. In case it's relevant, I run at 1280x1024 and I'm running SuSE 9.3. This issue is present in both installation formats.

2. I am not sure how to reproduce this one intentionally, but periodically when downloading a handfull of larger files (5-6 files, 80MB or larger each) I periodically get pop-up errors stating that Limewire was unable to access a necessary file and may behave strangely. File permissions seem fine as far as I can tell. Nothing seems to be effected by this error.

Like I said, both pretty minor, just annoying really. Great work so far, a vast improvement.

Thanks,

Dr SuSE

limewire seems not to detect weedshare license's in search window. and it wont return any search results when searching for the license type WeedShare. although i can find weed files if i search with string "weed wma", limewire still does not see the license. but it does detect the WeedShare license's in the library.

limewire is also not reporting the metadata and bitrate [of weedshare files] in the search results.

creative common license seem to work perfectly fine.

weedshare licenses will only work properly if the remote host that is sharing the weed file is already recognizing the license - which means that it has to run the latest LimeWire beta.

I downlded a magnet link & my dashed LW 4.8.1 opened instead of LW 4.9.0 so you can imagine what happened. It refused to load the incompletes. I then opened 4.9 & resumed them from the Library. The only plus side for me was that some files that had been sitting around for many mths started downlding. That was certainly a good sign. (I immediately trashed 4.8.1 after converting to sitx compressed format.) As a side comment, it seemed to load only about 70-80% of the shared files until I went for the LW prefs after which it loaded the rest ... a temp break from loading i guess.)

limewire has inadvertently stopped sharing all my shared folders except my weedshare folder. which has 560+ files. im without knowing the cause as to why it did this (although i did just download the java sdk standard edition and install).

upon restarting limewire, it still will not share those folders. limewire has removed the shared folders from the library without cause even though they are listed in my sharing prefs.

all combined, my total library is:

84 GB
7062 Files

my weedshare directory is located in C:\downloads\weedshare

while the rest of my library is located in D:\peer2peer\shared
which contains:

D:\peer2peer\shared\audio (unshared)
D:\peer2peer\shared\audio1 (shared)
D:\peer2peer\shared\audio2 (shared)
D:\peer2peer\shared\audio3 (shared)
D:\peer2peer\shared\audio4 (shared)
D:\peer2peer\shared\documents (shared)
D:\peer2peer\shared\images (shared)
D:\peer2peer\shared\other (share)
D:\peer2peer\shared\programs (shared)
D:\peer2peer\shared\video (shared)

i have yet to unshare and the reshare the folders because there might be an important bug that needs to be disovered.

another weird thing i noticed in the library is that i have a folder located in:

D:\peer2peer\shared\other\my themes

when i click on the "Saved Files" the "My Themes" folder, for some reason, shows up 'inside' the library as a folder, this started happening after i made the folder to begin with and before limewire stopped sharing my other folders though... when i double-click this folder, it basically opens up an explorer window.

if there is anymore information that i can provide for you, just ask.
