LimeWire Pirate Edition

Lord of the Rings · #**451** March 26th, 2014

One of the changes I forgot to mention because this is not a priority, is to include the security blocklists install option & connection file during the WireShare installation process. This would remove the concept of separate installers for these options. As it is, the Security blocklists I included with the LPE installers has 5 options: 1. None 2. Strong 3. Strong-basic Japanese blocklist. 4. Light 5. Light-basic Japanese blocklist. All these 5 options also included the installation of the connection file & basic settings files. The basic settings files include preset answers to installation questions such as system startup, anonymous reports sent to LW, bug reports, word filters, etc. The gnutella file I provide for installation or connection problems is considerably large.

LOTR,

Below is a link to my current installer of WireShare. I am new to using 4shared but I believe only premium member can use direct download links. This was complied using Ant and the 1.7_51 JDK. It also installs the strong version of your hostiles.txt and a gnutella.net files. We can add the ability to choose the different security levels to the installer in the future. Let know when you are ready to play and I will zip up what I have and send you a link and yes my knowledge of OS's other that Windows is very limited.

That's excellent BigJx.

I was suffering same issue until I logged into my 4Shared account, then the download became the WS zip download. I was forgetting 4Shared is a member's only direct download site & I needed to be logged in.

Just one thing, for the hostiles file to work, there needs to be a text line in the props file that tells the program where to find the hostiles. So the previous mentioned security installer installs a props file with basic information including that line. (The security updater on other hand inserts the necessary line of text into the person's existing props file in case it does not already exist.) Hope that doesn't sound complex.

I could forward you the necessary files when I return from this trip. I won't install WS just yet as this is not my computer lol. But I've got a copy of it now.

I thought the following code located in components\gnutella-core\src\main\java\com\limegroup\gnutella\filters\ IPFilter.java loaded the hostiles.txt automatically if the file exits.

Code:

 
 /** Constructs an IPFilter that automatically loads the content. */
 @Inject
 public LocalIPFilter(@Named("hostileFilter") IPFilter hostileNetworkFilter, 
 @Named("backgroundExecutor") ScheduledExecutorService ipLoader) {
 this.hostileNetworkFilter = hostileNetworkFilter;
 this.ipLoader = ipLoader;
 
 File hostiles = new File(CommonUtils.getUserSettingsDir(), "hostiles.txt");
 shouldLoadHostiles = hostiles.exists();
 
 refreshHosts();
 }

Maybe I've been wrong. The hostiles was supposed to work for both LW 4 & 5, but in my testing did not appear to work. Doing full Japanese blocks was my way of verifying this. This includes both the BearShare format & the other format I use. I guess one way to verify this is to check if any Japanese hosts are connected to, either in connections or uploads/downloads or search results. LW only seemed to read the hostiles with the addition of the line I mentioned earlier, which can be found here: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/limewi...o-basic-4.html ie: PATH_TO_BLACK_LISTED_IP_ADDRESSES= ... which was a hit/miss guess adjusted concept I took from the LW portable, but seemed to work for LW on all platforms.
Testing will show one way or the other work.

BTW using the hostiles with LW4 resulted in no connections at all (or attempted connections in connection window.) The program just seemed to freeze almost, whether using LW on Mac or Windows. Using the above line fixed that issue.

I just tested this by adding a full Japanese block hostiles.txt and reconnecting a few time and it did not connect to any Japanese hosts. Then I removed the file and repeated the test and got a few .jp (220.x.x.x) hosts.

That's excellent then. Thanks for testing.

WireShare has now been released for both Linux and MacOSX. Installers can be found on first page of this thread topic.

Improvement details can be found here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/gettin...wireshare.html

WireShare 5.6.4 update has been released. Details of changes coming.

For MacOSX users, you can now run WireShare with Java 7 or later, but Java 6 is still supported & is the default if both java versions are installed. Both JDK & JRE java versions are supported.

For those of you who do not know, WireShare (officially released 2014) is an updated version of LimeWire Pirate Edition [abbreviated LPE] (released late 2010). WireShare contains both bug fixes and improvements compared to the original LPE release. And more improvements are on the way.

Edit: Fixed the MacOSX installer for when installing a Dock icon which would make it hang & not finish the last portion of installation, although WireShare was installed. This error has existed for at least a month. It was a simple installer renaming issue.

For anybody who downloaded the earlier 5.6.3.1 installer prior to today, copy the installer to your computer and rename the installer to WireShare installer. It would have been good if someone had reported this issue rather than eventually finding out myself.
