How to connect to a host I downloaded from before?
 

PLease help

if you didn't note their IP, just re-search for the file and look over the results to see if you recognize that host.

Yeas, but do I do with that http?

I didn't really understand your questions, but just type the filename into LW's search box . . . when it shows up, look over the search results and do a "browse host" on the likely file.

You can control-click the search results columns to turn on the column that shows IP's

Sorry for that misprint.
You know when you have an incomplete file,
you press resume and it looks for the host you downloaded from before.
Now, is it possible to do the same, that is to find and connect to a host you got stuff from before
if you don't have any incompletely downloaded files from him?
When I right click on the completed file I chose "magnet details for file". This gives me html link and stuff.
But how do I make LW to browse the host?

Ah--thanks for the clarification.

No--the IP's from complete files are not saved between sessions as far as I know. Some alternate locations are stored at least in memory (see the Library 'locations' column), but aren't easily available. I like the idea though--ask for a "browse host" button to be added to the Library page.

However, many hosts use dynamic IP's which change so often that the info has a pretty limited life.

As I said before, just do a new search for the file name, and then you can browse the hosts that the search finds. If the person is a regular, you should be able to recognize their files, no matter what IP they've been assigned this session.

Gnutella clients, and LW in particular, are mostly built around Keyword searches.

You could try the Bitzi option--that might lead to the sources of saved files. The magnet links are for you to post links for your shared files. See http://www.magnetdb.com/index.php for examples

Alright. Thank you.
I didn't know of "dynamic IP's".
I'll try what you've suggested.
Thanks again.
