LimeWire 2.3 Released
Posted by DMemberMarc Molinaro in on March 25, 2002 at 4:34 PM



A new version of LimeWire (a Java-based cross-platform Gnutella client) has been released. Changes in this version:
  • New search tab makes powerful searches easier.
  • Resume downloads on restart are working again.
  • Flow control. Passes more important messages first. Searches will be faster and better overall once this change is widely available.
  • Fixed bug where settings were sometimes not being saved.
  • Re-enabled "force resume" button for downloads in "requery sent" state.
  • OS/X version uses the native Quicktime media player.
  • GUI only shows one upload per host per file from swarm downloads.
  • Full HTTP/1.1 upload support to allow better swarming in the future.
  • Java 1.4 will be used on Windows if installed. 1.4 is faster and has mouse wheel support. (Those wishing to try Java 1.4 can download the JRE here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html. LimeWire would need to be (re)installed after this to make use of it.)

hrm...im using it right now. it works fine. im getting between 40 and 60 k/second average. but for some reason, my downloads stop at 99%. not that it matters much, since that last 1% of the file probably amounts to silence. it is odd though.

I have been a LimeWire user since about the middle or so of last year and I think it is great and I think LimeWire Should have a Digital Player in the next version that they make instead of the one they've got now i've had no problems on my end with it but I guess for some ppl the more it gets fixes the better and better it comes back being

Whoa! That is weird. I have about 10 downloads that are stuck at 99% But some of mine are program files so that last 1% could be something important. Sucky!

FINALLY! It doesn't crash once an hour. I was really ready to give up on limewire and gnutella, and was moving on to giFT. Although, it wasn't stable at all until I installed java 1.4. Now I have some weird problem where it won't open limewire under X-Windows without me su'ing to a different user other than the one running X, or just even su -l to the same user. Not a big problem though, and I can live with it for now.

This version also does an awesome job of getting the files you search for and download. For about 3-6 months before the last 2 versions, I barely ever ended up getting the files I tried to download. It would alwasy end up saying couldn't download... almost right away. Now I get all of the files I download, and much faster since it will download from multiple hosts, asigning a chuck to each host.

I do like the layout of the older versions better. I am not a big fan of the new search tab, I liked the horizontal stacking. Older versions also gave more freedom to play with connections. Like if I said keep up 6 connections it would keep up 6 and not always stay at 3 no matter what you set the number to. WTF??? Also it alows you to play with and get more discovered hosts.

Where did everyone go? I don't know if it is just because I can't play with the connections as much or what, but there are SIGNIFICANTLY less total hosts all the time. Like right now I am looking at 424 total hosts, and 255,000 mb of files. Most I got up to last night was 700 something. This is the first time I have been able to run limewire for more than an hour with out crashing in years (literally). When I used to leave my connection up, I would get thousands of hosts, and terabytes of data available. So did we lose lots of people to KAAZA or what?

Unfortunetly, right now I cannot not run KAAZA or any others on the FT network, since they have changed their crypto, and now the linux client giFT cannot connect anymore. Luckily giFT has created its own network, and a modular client. The network will be mostly linux users for a while until a windows client comes out, and that obviously limts the network, since few people run linux. Hopefully giFT will someday have another KAAZA module, and maybe a gnutella module, so I can stop using multiple clients.

but for now, it is all limewire 2.3.3, until next week when a new version comes out :) (Smile)

peace,

spyware causes problems, limewire went the spyware route, therefore limewire causes problems, i.e. crashes, connectivity.
