What are the new features in 2.4.1?
 

Does anyone know what the new changes are in Limewire 2.4.1? I'm running the Linux version, the only change I've seen is the addition of the "Vendor" column on the Connections tab.

Apart from a few bug fixes (some of them were really serious and could cause LimeWire to crash), enhanced resuming capabilities and enhanced performance when sharing lots of mp3s, the most important changes were:

- The auto-downloader. You now can specify a search, click on "add to wishlist" and watch limewire download the files it finds automatically (could be handy if you want to keep requerying the network for a file that isn't available at the moment).
- The interval of requeries has been changed. LimeWire now requeries every 45 minutes. (If you are downloading one file, it's an improvement, if you are downloading 16 files, LimeWire will send a requery for one of those files every 12 hours.)
- Download overlapping. LimeWire now cancels the download from a slow location, if there's a faster location available. In addition it will now detect corrupt downloads better.

2.4 is not a major release, but it's worth an update. 2.5 will come with the most important changes.

* Major performance and memory improvements.
* New wishlist feature allows you to schedule future downloads.
* Increased Ultrapeer connectivity allowing better searches.
* Connect to the network faster and regain lost connections faster.
* Fixed "99% download bug" and some downloads will complete more quickly.
* Fixed bug where certain old incomplete files would be ignored.
* Reduce bandwidth usage from requeries.
* Vendor column shown in connection tab.
* Remote-IP header is sent allowing future auto-firewall detection.
* About menu thanks all contributors.
* We detect corrupt files from swarming and will log them shortly.
* No new uploads begin when in "shutdown after transfers" mode.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I definately noticed LimeWire running a lot faster, nice work!

I can't seem to find the Wishlist feature. Is that in the Pro version only?

Jeff

No, if you start a search, you have the 'wishlist' button instead of a download button, as long as there aren't any search results.
