ok i think it seemed to have worked. will post back if it gets the problem. thanks

many thanks m8

same thing again m8 im running peer guardian and then bearshare 5.1.0 lite. and it doesnt want to connect. any ideas.

Have you tried the beta & my recent connection cache postings, particularly the latest one. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/344799-post7.html

i tried the new connections nothing still didnt connect.
i installed the new beta and im lost now, i installed the beta, copied the new db files, ran the bsstart. and then clicked continue. is that correct? as the start thing doesnt make no sense.

still not connecting.

to test it wasnt my anti virus i disabled it and ran it and still didnt connect. also when it does connect it comes up in the top corner non firewalled.

thanks

any more ideas what it could be.

you say "also when it does connect it comes up in the top corner non firewalled" which indicates you are getting connected every now and then...

FYI your AV is NOT a firewall....you DO need a real firewall for EVERYTHING you do online, end of discussion IMO...not having one is like walking around naked...and being naked on Gnutella these days is stupid and opens one up to damaging consequences caused by the paid henchmen of the RIAA/MPAA

the BearStart utility is a time/date stamp hack for the expired beta version...it changes the date to a time when the beta version used to work so that it can work in present time....this can cause some issues with certain programs that depend upon a certain time date stamp to operate, but is not a big issue...

I will again strongly suggest that all filesharers use PeerGuardian2...

My Kapersky anti-virus always gets annoyed when I open BS because it upsets its subscription date. lol But the time-date changer only runs for a few seconds simply to get the beta open.

Have you tried setting to forced ultrapeer mode? This may help with connecting on a more regular basis.

i have kis which has the firewall.
hey i think that may have worked the forced ultrapeer.

thanks for the help guys.
thanks a lot.

I use KIS and except for the effect of the date hack in BearStart it works fine with BS...i.e. that would not be your problem, and pulease turn your security suite back on!

I guess the forced UP helps because it perhaps more aggressively searches for connections..

I think bearshare sucks.It toataly screwed up my limewire and
frostwire libraries.I lost 80 % of my downloads and they were
scattered everywhere.

never heard of that happening before....

the old saying is "1 can short of a six pack"

you're nick is apt as you're obviously 3 short of a six pack...
