Okay.
I was going to mess around, reinstall Kazaa. (I'd uninstalled it when I realized it didn't come close to LimeWire in just about anything.
So here I am still messing with LW, even upgraded to 37, and it tends to spend more time in turbo charged, but still goes to sleep, now and again. I did finally realize that it was still downloading at a snail's pace while it slept, (a software version of snoring?) and I tend to wake up in the middle of my night and get up to jiggle the mouse, to wake up LW, too. It hasn't disconnected completely so far, unlike 30 and 33. "They" must have had a reason to program LW to fall asleep, one of those "It seemed a good idea at the time."
Weird thing is that under properties now, it's saying I have version 1,0,0,2. That's the main reason I upgraded, thinking a fresh install would get the correct version to show. It didn't though, but LW "seems" to be working as usual.
I appreciate the pointer to other threads with info on misnamed files (I'm guessing.) Maybe I'll find something to do about it. The one today was supposed to be another "Crash." The first and biggest hint was that it downloaded to 100% in minutes while supposedly 698 MBs. It was an ad for a "fun" website. Does this non-person really think I'll go to his site? He's dummer than I am.
So I'm happily downloading another Crash and another Madagascar, though I couldn't preview them, got the codecs missing message.
So I'm also slap happily downloading every codec and plug in that says it will help avi files to play, so maybe I'll get it right by accident. Don't worry, I'm being careful.
Thanks again everyone. I may get frustrated and even angry sometimes, but LimeWire has given me hours and hours of entertainment. That's what it's all about, right?
