FEEDBACK: In WireShare 6.0.1 Options, the Transfers tab, Configure Torrent Settigns button, there should be "Seed forever" by default, current 1 day seeding only is too strict. Also on Transfers tab in Options i think should be ~/Downloads, not ~/WireShare/Saved/ (or ~/Downloads/WireShare/ to prevent people accidentally sharing downloads not related to WireShare) "View / Hide transfer Tray" should not be active by default, why not display Downloads tray right away by default, so user does not need to spend time searching where it is. |

Personally I agree with your concern. Quote:
Just now looking at a particular host presently running on the network, their share statistic is: 196612/8,192 bytes That's a total of 8 KB. Divide that by 196612 to get the average file size. Bytes becomes bits. I am unable to browse the host to verify what kind of rubbish they are sharing. I doubt the host user is aware of this. But it is just this kind of accidental file sharing that is best avoided where possible. With WireShare having its own distinct downloads (& share) folder, this problem is minimized. Your final point is also a good point. Though based off LimeWire 5, the LW 5 version was rebuilt from the ground up and intended to imply simplicity in its visual design compared to LW 4. |
Replying regarding the issue of accidentally sharing sensitive files from Downloads folder, for example sensitive .pdf, .docx downloaded via web browser may be reduced like this: 1) changing description in Options / My Files / Configure (unsafe file sharing) by mentioning something like: Make sure that your Downloads folder is not common for other apps to store sensitive files like documents. 2) disabling documents sharing for downloads folder permanently internally in app 3) set default downloads folder to ~/Downloads/WireShare/ because i think for Linux user it is more convenient location he may not want to change as much as current ~/WireShare/Saved/ |

There is a safe sharing option listed under 'programs': Attachment 7041 (Edit) (An option we agreed should be incorporated. It's just not as obvious as it should be when listed under programs.) Quote:
I personally used customized locations and folder titles. (1) A different hard disk drive with different downloads folder title. (2) Video and audio file downloads are each sent to different folders. This makes it much easier to find particular download types. Many years ago I even had them sent to different hard disk drives. But that is a customized approach and nothing to do with the defaults. |
WireShare Update The WireShare GnutellaWebCache (GWC) that is used for bootstrapping is now being redirected to https. As a result, all WireShare versions prior to 6.0.2 will no longer be able to connect to the GWC as https was not supported in those versions. Therefore, it is now recommended that all users update their WireShare to version 6.0.2 to; avoid connection issues, get security updates, and get update notifications in the future. BigJx |

But the https change will have benefits. That includes potentially improved communications through a firewall and other benefits. |
That's a shame. What Java is required and will it work with older PC's? I had a lot of trouble updating Java last time and making it actually work. |
