Yes I am aware that it "cross-platform". Maybe I didnt state my case properly. I was wondering if anyone has tried out the changes in a windows enviroment. (i'm not a java programmer)
I just figured there has to be a reason that different versions are put out for each diff operating system. Like I said i'm not a java programmer.... just a ****ed off user. If you can explain it to me great, i'm all for gaining extra knowledge.

Here is the non tekky speak of what you are seeing on page 2.
What you see in the post is a output of a "file compare" program. (which one i dont know) From my limited knowledge what I see is this:

The numbers you see
***************
*** 433,436 ****
--- 433,446 ----
basicly means that lines 433 to 436 are changed in the original 433 to 446 (or visa versa.)

download the files from the link the "Unregistered" person proveded.

what I did was to open the file using ultraedit.
(i.e core/com/limegroup/gnutella/DownloadManager.java ) and replaced the lines of code that the posted provided (433 to 436) with the lines of code that are similar (433 to 446) you will have to remove the "+"s. You will recognize the code when you get to the specific line numbers.

Then you will have to compile it. (i'm hoping I have time to do this tonight) I havent compiled it yet but I will post my result when I am done.
