Sleepless is just really nice
Default

Well. Tried it. First impression bad. Needs work. A lot of info I would want from a P2P program is unavailable.

Did not get any Gnutella connects only G2 for the first 10-15 minutes. disconnects form Gnutella nodes easily and sticks with the G2 nodes

No Global Up/Down info

No number of files shared info

No number of nodes that you are connected to info

Details pop up (when hovering your mouse pointer over a search result) is an eyesore

Downloaded files get saved by default into the programs folder (What's up with that???)

Under the blocked hosts the window is too small and there is no way to make it bigger

When setting it to minimize to system tray on closing, it does not minimize to the system tray but to the taskbar

When closing the programs some of the prefs went back to default on next startup:

Under general settings:
Both checkmarks that I had removed regarding the magnet links came back.

Under Network setting:
Max number of Leaf nodes (which I had set to 50) was 200 again.

I BTW tried twice to make sure that I hadn't forgotten to press save.

This is a quote from your helpfile:
Quote:
Shared Directories
Add the directories containing the files you wish to share here. Your downloads directory is shared by default. Remember that filesharing is a give-and-take game. If nobody shares, nobody gets! So rememeber: Share!
Now if that was true. Why can I download two songs, close the program, reopen it, go to shared (Where I guess I would be able to see which files I am sharing) and not see a single file??

--------------------------------------------

Connection is configured right. (I run other P2P programs perfectly)
I know what settings to use.
XP MCE (Service pack 2)
1 GB RAM
Sygate Firewall
Billion Router
Using portforwarding

---------------------------------------------------

Guess you still have some work to do :wink:

A couple of questions though:

Do I share partial downloads with this program?
if so do I have to add the partial folder?
And also shouldn't I have a choice in the matter if I want to do that or not?

The records for uploads. Are they kept upon reopening the program or deleted like in Limewire?
