Terminate after downloads
 

Is it possible to have LW terminate after downloads are complete please?

Yes

There is a checkbox for Shutdown after Tranfers are complete in the options.

More info please
 

Thank you Stief.

I found the relevant check-box in the Uploads section (Tools\Options\Uploads) but this does not appear to be effective for Downloads. Can you direct me again please.

Thanks

Hope this helps

Confused
 

Thanks again Stief.

I already have that box checked but LW does not terminate after a download & I thought that box only referred to Uploads.

I'll try again.

Many thanks for your help.

me confused too.

Transfers refer to uploads and/or downloads, so that should be the only box you need to check.

I'll see if I can try to repeat your experience.

Tried again
 

I had another go with same result. The box is checked but LW doesn't terminate on completion of download.

FYI I'm running XP Home SP.2 LW Pro 4.8.1

Thanks

just to confirm--did the monitor pane also show that no uploads were in progess (that all had completed too)?

Confirming
 

It sure did and for the purpose of this test I had turned off sharing.

Thanks--I'm off to check if I can repeat the problem with OS X versions

Thanks again - must go set a few bones now so will check back in about nine hours or maybe a little sooner.

Hmm--the Shutdown works here on OSX (with both the Pro and the latest build)

Here's what I did

-selected a bunch of files from the "What's New" image type search

started downloading

QUIT limewire
--LW minimized to the doc, then a few minutes late the "Please wait while LimeWire Shuts Down" dialog showed up, and LimeWire quit properly.

However, one time there was a "need more sources" entry, and LW wouldn't quit until the entry was cleared from the download list and the incomplete folder.

Perhaps that is the case for you too?

How stupid can I get??
 

Stief ... It works - of course it works.

I couldn't put up with the wait so had a look at the forum from work & just had to take an hour off to try your latest advice.

When I read your latest reply I couldn't believe you would QUIT LimeWire - how could the download continue if you quit LW? Then the penny dropped.

Many many thanks Stief and before you throw your hands up in disgust and say "Women!!" I admit it, I'm the blonde one.

Cheers

Glad it worked.

Thanks though for confirming. It looks like you helped point out a part that may be a problem, since most of us wouldn't expect a file that "needs more sources" would stop LW from shutting down after active transfers had completed.

Cheers
