OK: maybe time to edit your thread title :D Looks like the file is NOT being blocked generally. The file humourously encourages any type of sharing over the internet, if the closing warning is to be trusted (see attachment).

So, I've found out that magnets need to take private IP's into account, any type searches are way more effective (counter-intuitive :rolleyes: ), and that there needs to be a way to move a large file file from an unshared folder to the shared one more efficiently.

Re your setup, see about port-forwarding so you can accept incoming connections. This should help your uploads, magnets and chats too.

Thanks

Not sure why this is happening, but it doesn't look like my upload settings are being followed (see attached)

Mine is doing the same thing. Running 4.12.0 Pro on xp. I tried deleting the pref. folder but didn't help. It only allows me 5 upload slots but I have it set for 10.

I'd agree that the file is not being blocked... but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened eventually...

I was surprised to see that over a hundred downloads (of loose change) happened while I was gone today.

Where did you find that warning? It isn't in my copy of the film...

I don't know if I need to do port forwarding, since everything seems to be working OK now. THanks.

The warning was on the very last frame, and it came from the identical file to yours.

I stopped sharing the file this morning after 4 GB uploaded. It would have quickly exceeded my ISP's monthly limit of 60 GB, and I was getting close anyway.

I wonder if that is what happened to you? Check with your ISP's help desk to see if they have throttles in place once a user gets up to certain limits.

Good to hear all is OK. I was glad to check out the upload part of the new beta, and it looks like some minor inconsistencies need smoothing.

I just searched for the file loose change and got 10 results. This is an amazing documentary by the way.

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 02:26 PM.
