Thanks for some of the clarifications.

In the meantime, I reverted back to v2.7.3, which I found on a backup from a few weeks ago. This seems to make at least the crashes and download problems go away (if I'm not downloading from somebody with 2.8.5).

Some more info - in case somebody wants to start fixing things

* The can't move to library is definitly not due to invalid characters. It seems that the files are not completly downloaded - when you have the error, go to your partial download folder and click 'resume'. This will bring a new entry in the download screen that continues downloading... After a few 'restarts' with continued download, the file was moved to the library without any problem... (with the same name). Note that the filesize will not change immediatly after resuming the download, it seems that the resume does not start exactly at the last point from the previous download.



I think LimeWire should put a warning in these forums to stop using 2.8.5 and revert back to an older, working version. By trying to save their face (and not putting an official posting), they are harming the whole 'gnutella' community by putting a lot of instable copies out there. Not really professional from a company that tries to shape the future in this area...
