I'm having intermittent connection problems with BearFlix 1.1.2.1. (Please don't tell me to switch to BearShare.)

Sometimes, it connects immediately.
Sometimes, it remains unconnected for hours and then connects.
Sometimes, it doesn't connect for days.

Can anyone give me some suggestion how to connect more reliably?

Thanks - Pat

PS: Incidentally, don't bother sending support requests to support@bearflix.com. I've sent 4 in the past 2 years and have never, not once, received a response.

Why the late post. I saw someone viewing it. Re-pondered your questions.

I don't think anybody replied to your post because you suggested about the no no to swapping to BearShare instead.

Perhaps because the support line died about 5 years ago? The creator of Bearshare, BearShare Lite and BearFlix sold out. The program has not run on the gnutella network since. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/open-d...tml#post350598

As for version 1.1.2.1, I don't know. But there are potential connection fixes if you are still having problems.

Keep a more up-to-date connection file for the bearShare line of programs and that includes the BearFlix versions that still run on the Gnutella network.

Though I can confirm the member called Bearshare has not updated his connection file for download since at least beginning of August. I just checked and it is the same identical data. And AaronWalkhouse's equivalent file is even a month older (July.)
