Been running Limewire 2.5.3 on Mac OS 9.2.2 for the last few days. It looks pretty stable and resumes well. No resumed downloads have started over from 0 like they used to. I tried repeatedly killing and re-requesting files (sometimes with different names or from alternative hosts) with no problems. So it looks like the HUGE implementation has kicked in nicely.

People are downloading from me like mad, even though I'm on 56k, so my files are obviously visible on the net - perhaps more so than before.

Like others, I still haven't found any other 2.5ers to try Browse Host. But I'm sure they'll appear.

A minor bug: I've noticed up to four occurences of the same file being uploaded by the same IP (ie. four identical readings occupying four upload slots). I don't know whether this would be due to LW or the downloading client. I had never seen this before. I have since reduced the max-upload-slots-per-IP to one, so this no longer occurs.

Another small issue is that some downloads keep stopping:
They stop (requery), instantly restart when I re-request them (kill and double click on the search result) then stop again a few seconds later. You would expect downloads to stop because the host is no longer available or because it has used up all of its bandwidth - in which case it wouldn't restart immediately. Odd. If it's a small file then I might sit there re-requesting it each time this happens until the d/l is complete. I suppose the owners of the host could be killing the upload manually, which would be logical if I were hammering them for 10 files simultaneously. But usually, since I'm on a 56k modem, I only d/l one file at a time and rarely more than 5mb so I can't see why they would take such exception to me (other than for uploading so slowly). I don't know.... maybe the colour-scheme of some clients makes people bad-tempered.

Again, I have no idea whether this issue is LW related or not, but it's another new one.
