Just released a beta, set your preferences in Gnucleus to auto-update on Beta, for more information check out http://www.gnucleus.net

I'm running 1.6 Beta and it seems it's working great. I'm a modem user and this feature was exactly what I need. Thanks. Bye.

yay!
now since xolox is dead there's another good client w/ multi source dl
(yes i know there's a patch, but there won't be real updates)

limewire doesn't count; spyware, slow, bulky ui and ads.

I probably found a bug in 1.6. I was downloading a 7.500 kb file from 7 hosts (I have 56k modem). I was at 96% of the file but suddenly it went back to 80%. I don't know if Gnuke overwrote some chunks or simply failed size counting. I hope I helped you.Bye.

When chunks are put together the last 4kb of a piece is compared with the beginning 4kb of the next peice, if they dont match then the smaller of the two is trashed and host it was downloaded from is labeled corrupt.

This feature is there so that when you run the downloaded file it is not messed up. While it is unfortunate that this has to happen it is done to protect the file. Hopefully you do not see this happening all the time.

But it's better to throw out a small chunk rather than the whole file... so really it's a trade-off that I'm sure everyone is willing to handle...

i see the same thing in edonkey and xolox, morpheus/kazaa might do the same, but i haven't seen it.

Gnucleus 1.6 Beta can't resume partial files that were downloaded just from a single host and have no extra file chunks. If you try to resume a "single-host downloaded" partial file you will get a lot of "remote canceled" in the extended info window. It happens even if you find more than 50 hosts with the same file you need to resume. I think this is a little bug. My system: Windows Me, 900 Mhz, 192 Mb ram and 56k modem.
Anyway, Gnucleus is absolutely the best gnutella client.

Excellent work, Swabby! You really know how to code a Gnutella servent. I mean, Gnucleus was the one and only non-Java servent I was willing to use, though I always hoped that the day would come when Phex would be as great as Gnucleus. But the new Beta is amazing! I have given up. Nothing can rival with that.

I evolved to 1.6 beta and I tried to resume some old partial files (downloaded with 1.5.0.0). One of them is very popular and I found more than 30 hosts but Gnuke beta told me that most of them were remotely canceled. I had to go back to version 1.5.0.0 and Gnuke resumed my old partial.

And so I made a little experiment: I evolved again to beta and I downloaded a file from a single host. Then I closed the application and I created a false chunk in the Chunks directory. I restarted Gnuke and it resumed the file!

So I think that when you try to resume a partial between sessions, the beta looks for the chunks associated with that partial and if it doesn't find any chunk it gives you the message "remotely canceled".
