Question Latest versions

I am running the 1.6b version now. Is there any need to update to the 1.6d. Can this be done with just updating somehow, or does it require a complete uninstall?. When a person does an uninstall, what happens to the old library files? Should I move those to another file location away from the limewire directory. I'm very happy with limewire, but don't want to start over with my library again. I also noticed the bug on the highlighting in the monitor area the previos person commented on, that you can't hardly move fast enough to click the buttonsat the bottom before it UN highlights. Keep up the good, no, EXCELLENT work.

Your library will still be there after LimeWire is uninstalled. If you want to make a preventative backup, copy the files to another directory. But you won't have to start your library over again when you install the new version.

The bug you describe on the Monitor tab is planned to be fixed in a future release. I think it acts more like a feature that was implemented to help increase the success rate of downloads. Too many people are terminating uploads (selfish, I guess), so this "feature" inhibits the termination of uploads. I, for one, will be sad to see it go. :-(

No I'm not the least bit selfish. I always allow anywhere from 5 to 20 uploads when I'm on. Usually 15. I run a cable modem so I can upload pretty good. But when someone is only uploading at .5Kb or sometimes the thing just sits there on 0.0 upload for 30 seconds or more, well I'm gonna boot that one off, and let someone else on who can make better use of the slots I'm offering. But my question WAS, - - - what does 1.6d offer over 1.6b? Anything worth mentioning besides a few bug fixes.Mine seem to work fine now.

Sorry. You took my post wrongly. I wasn't calling you selfish. I was referring to the general populace of the Gnutella network, who sadly all like to do this.

The features are probably not worth the upgrade, as there have been many other problems with 1.6d. If you are happy with LimeWire as it is right now, a good rule here is:

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

:-)
