since OSX 10.5.2 : no unwanted/undesirable files - Stars beside result
 

let's try it in english...

I have a little problem since i've installed de latest Leopard update.
Before the update, I was using Leopard 10.5.1 and LimeWire Pro 4.12.6. LimeWire shows files with rankings (stars) and files without rankings. (unwanten/undesirable files ??, is this the good translation?)

Because of a few problems in Leopard, I did a clean installation of Leopard, installed the latest update 10.5.2, and the same LimeWire Pro 4.12.6.
I noticed there were no bad or unwanted files, only good files with a ranking/stars.
I've checked all the preferences, and set the option for the unwanted files.
I also replaced the new prefs files with the old prefs from the backup. Same problem.

I've installed the latest LW Pro version (4.16.6), but same problem.
This is not a major problem, Limewire works excellent! Although it's a bit strange.


Why can't I see those bad/unwanted files?
Does anyone have any idea why this happens?

(sorry for the bad translation)
Thx.

The stars represent your chances of connection & successful download of those files. If it's a 4 star, you have a very good chance of connecting to them. If it's a one or 2 star then it may be a dial up user or someone who is multitudes of hops away, or/and perhaps behind an unconfigured firewall (hops are ISP's between you & them, some may shape p2p bandwidth). :)

The reason no stars showed might have been a java issue solved with an update of Java.

Thx for the quick answer.
In the past I had a few files with stars, and much more files without stars.

Sometimes I could find good things amoung the bad files.

You think the reason I'm not seeing files without stars/rangkings anymore, is a java issue?
Are you familiar with the Mac OS X? How can I change or update Java?

(sorry for the bad translation)

The OSX update you did may have fixed that issue, it may have included a java update or your clean install may have fixed a java issue. ;) Yes I use OSX, but haven't upgraded to Leopard yet .. still using Tiger 10.4.

The stars don't necesarily mean good or bad files .. just your chances of successfully downloading them. ;)

ok, that's clear to me.

One more thing...last question...
Do I see less or an equal quantity of files now?
I have the feeling it's equal...


One remark : I think Limewire became much more faster, faster in startup (finding network), and faster finding files over the internet...
I think it has something to do with the last update 10.5.2.
Very good! :xeri_ok1ani:

It sounds to me that your Java or the earlier java was not 100%, & after the update of OSX it also updated java with an improved version. ;)

The fact you didn't see stars listed beside search results before suggests something was wrong.
