Hi, about 98% of the stuff i try to download keeps doing this requery sent!! other gnutella programs dont do it. why does this? is there a way i can find more sources for download or anything like that?
All of the clients have to deal with the same issue... the host on the other end has either dropped the connection or gone offline. The requery solution is an attempt to re-establish the connection... and to keep from flooding the net with constant retries it waits x number of seconds before 'requerying'. Limewire just calls it requery - most of the clients I have tried have some form of mechanism to try and recover from a lost connection... they just have a different way of referring to it.
