Trap-Jaw,

I know you're much more knowledgeable of the LimeWire download/upload procedures than I, but unfortunately, this time you are wrong.

1. I downloaded over a dozen large avi and mpeg files (80-450MB) from Gnutella using 2.7.6 and 2.7.13. But, from the day I installed 2.8.5, I have been unable to download any large files. The files I want appear in my searches; I know that at least one of the hosts containing them is on line nearly non-stop.

Old LimeWire users continue to upload files from me without difficulty -- on Friday a 2.4.1 user uploaded a 80MB file. This morning a 2.7.13 user uploaded two of the same size.

There is a real problem with 2.8.5 on downloads, and it is a new problem.

2. Since I do not have 'auto-clear completed uploads' checked in Preferences, I do not see uploads revert to zero after every parcel is completed. Believe me, I've been monitoring this for several week now. 2.8.5 users do complete 100% of uploads for small files (under 10MB). They do NOT complete large uploads. At 10KB/s, it takes over two hours to upload a 80MB file. If a 2.8.5 users shows "complete" after half an hour, he does not have 100% of the file.

2.8.5 is broken, Trap-jaw, it needs fixing.
