Can't connect to the Gnutella Network Hi, I'm using Bearshare Lite 5.2.5, and since a week ago i can't connect to the gnutella networks... I closed my firewall, i closed my internet security, and it wont connect anymore... Is the Gnutella Network down? I downloaded, Kazaa, and Limewire and they have also the same problem... Who got this problem to? Thanks |
Did you install anything recently , e.g firewall or antivirus app ? Have you tried Phex or Shareaza ? Note: The real Shareaza is from sourceforge site , not the shareaza.com |
Download this zip and unpack it into C:\Program Files\BearShare.db\ http://www3.telus.net/Aaron_Walkhouse/connect.zip This should jumpstart your Bear with fresh nodes to connect to. |
thanx aaron walkhouse ..the files are working n im back online |
Same problem Hi, I'm having the same problem with BS Lite 525. I've reinstalled a few times but it won't connect. I tried unzipping the connect file to the db folder but this also didn't seem to help. I still just get the "can't connect" box up. My only firewall is the XP one and BS is an exception. Any ideas? Very appreciative for any help. Regards Nick |
What does it say when you hover (without clicking) the mouse pointer over the fourth light? |
It says "Network - Not Connected." I'm now running BS 5.1.0b25, started by Bear Start, as recommended, but I still can't get it to connect. Thanks for your help. Nick |
Bearshare must be closed when copying connect.txt to bearshare\db folder. BS 5.1.0 b25 can be forced to ultrapeer mode . Click on Setup->Service , click 'Force Ultrapeer'. Only do this if you've fast pc and internet connection. |

just sharing... if anyone has an answer i would appreciate it... thanks in advance |
Your best option is to stop shutting it down so often. When you stay online permanently it always has a full list of thousands of good nodes to connect with. People will also be able to find your shared files much more easily when you become a reliable source instead of one that's always vanishing before or even during their downloads. Closing it and reopening it doesn't help at all, though you might get that illusion. You can disconnect and reconnect without shutting it down if you enable the Hosts view and use the controls in there. If you're willing to change your system date to July 2005 when you start it, the beta version is a good choice because you can switch it into ultrapeer mode whenever you have connection problems. In that mode it connects to 26 peers instead of 2 and it will always connect to about ten LimeWire peers alongside a bunch of .Bears |
