constant "requery" message
 

Hello –

I’m running OS X on a G4 with a cable modem for connection. I’ve downloaded successfully with Limewire in the past, but now, each and every time, I get a “requery” countdown when I try to download. It is Limewire 2.8, and this problem has been going on for a while now. Any thoughts as to what’s happening? Thanks very much.

I'm having the same problem -- I downloaded two files successfully after I first installed LW, but I lost the connection and ever since I've only gotten constant Requery messages.

I'm on a Powerbook G4 OS X (jaguar 10.2.3) with a DSL connection (this computer is receiving it via a wireless router).

Any suggestions would be welcome -- from perusing the forums, this doesn't seem to be an uncommon complaint.

:confused:

If a download remains in requery mode very long (two days or longer) you can do three things - search for that file manually again (that helps at times), restart LimeWire (at times, if you have been online very long, even that might help) or kill the download (after two or three days you will probably have to accept that you won't find the file).

If the download goes into requery mode directly after trying to download it, - kill the download at once, the host is either not accessible or it doesn't share the file anymore.

"If the download goes into requery mode directly after trying to download it, - kill the download at once, the host is either not accessible or it doesn't share the file anymore."

TJ: Do you really think that is the cause? I've seen it happen where there are 10 hosts shown sharing a particular file. Stalls on 'connecting' for minutes, and then goes into 'requery' mode. It used to do a 'waiting 2 positions' or something to that effect.

Please continue to dig deeper into this. My guess is that eventually you will find that something is amiss, and perhaps not even of your own doing. Maybe the 'copyright police' are involved.

I'm convinced the endless Requery loop in LimeWire 2.8.x is a bug.
