Nice thread
LimeWire@version@ are OK (anyone who uses a CVS version will show as an "@"). Actually, I usually trust those more than other versions, since it usually means one of the devs or other experts who know how to build LW directly from the source is a t the other end. jum versions are CVS versions with jum's additions, and they are trustworthy. I haven't built from the CVS for a while, but it's fun to do and you get to try out the daily changes right away without having to wait for the devs to release a version.
I've noticed that when the magnetmix files are delivered from an "@" version, it means they are coming directly from one of LW's servers, and have the best speeds.
Re the freezing when verifying files: I've had that happen when I start LW right after a safe boot and/or after a repaired permissions session. I'm not sure why the verifying code gets locked up under those conditions, but after a while (or quitting and then restarting), it's gone. I've been trying to repeat the process, but not very successfully. |
