hello Mike,
Could you tell me which file did you modify on the limewire code.
I tried to search some library for wireshark and to recompile wireshark on my linux computer with differents options, but without success to decompress the packets on wireshark.
Actually I'm trying to write a littel client (juste with the basic fonctionality ping, pong, query, query hit, bye) in C# for my Master project, and I think in the beginning I will not use the deflate option, I don't know if it's a good idea but for the moment it's the fatest way to have a prototype working in a short time.
Juan
