Default What's the "wait" when downloading

Seems like a great new peer - really nice work!

I do have a question - when I start a new download why does it begin with a "wait" status? What's it waiting for exactly? It concerns me because if the source is firewalled and you wait before doing a push, there's a very good chance the push route will be stale. Anything firewalled (or maybe with a private IP address range) should push as soon as possible.

I've always found the key to getting push to work is acting fast. The routes may only be good for a minute or two - especially if there's a number of hops. Once even one of the hops looses the connection, the push will never work.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply! I've got 1.41 now but it still shows "wait" for about 1 minute when I start a new download. I don't know if it may be doing something during this time though.

I should mention most of the files I look for are large (100+ meg) and hard to find. They often don't have multiple hosts (in case it's waiting for more results or something). Most of the time they're firewalled too, so I do rely on pushes a lot.

A kind of unrelated question: when it looks for new mirrors of a file does it use the original search terms, or does it search on the full filename?

BTW, very interesting custom GUI! Displays quite fast too.

Ah! I think I answered my own question! I see the "Search/Hash" value in the right column. Seems to use the filename as a basis. Is there a way to edit this? Sometimes the filenames aren't exactly the same and that might prevent it from finding all matches.

Gnucleus does a nice trick where it uses the original search terms, but allows you to edit them to be more specific if necessary.

Default Search Term

hi,

yes I will add an editbar to the download windows.
So you can edit the "Search/Hash".
I will update to this newer beta version tomorrow, first i have to find a little bug!
