Not sure what's going wrong. LimeWire should be listening on a specific port for the request. To be honest, I'm not sure this will be fixed before 4.0 unless it's also happening on Windows and/or OSX.

"netstat -lpnt" in linux shows limewire listening on both port 6346 and 45100.

Code:

$ netstat -lpnt

tcp        0      0 :::45100                :::*                    LISTEN      13706/java

I changed the browser from "firefox $URL$" to "konqueror $URL$" and finally could see what URL it is trying.

This is a sample url that is resulting in a message in konqueror saying "Connection to host localhost is broken":
http://localhost:45100/magcmd/detail?addr=<my-ip>:6346&n0=LimeWireLinux.bin&u0=GZLEHA3FR46YNHEU5 AEFUTAM5HYEEEMF

When I change "localhost" to "127.0.0.1", the magnet details page loads just fine. It is only when it is set to "localhost" that it results in limewire rejecting the connection.

My /etc/hosts file has:

Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost
# special IPv6 addresses
::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

fe00::0         ipv6-localnet

ff00::0         ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1         ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2         ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3         ipv6-allhosts

A telnet session:

Code:

$ telnet localhost 45100
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /magcmd/detail?addr=<my-ip>:6346&n0=LimeWireLinux.bin&u0=GZLEHA3FR46YNHEU5AEFUTAM5HYEEEMF HTTP/1.1

Connection closed by foreign host.
$

Yet telnet 127.0.0.1 and pasting the exact same thing gets HTML as a result. It seems like LimeWire doesn't like SuSE's usage of IPv6.

Code:

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 45100
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.

Thanks for the detailed info, limenut. I think the problem is because we're looking for the string "127.0.0.1". Should be a simple fix.

Then again...once I now have a magnet link, the other question is how one can even use it in LimeWire for linux? I thought I could run "$HOME/LimeWire/LimeWire" and pass the full magnet link as a command line option and it would somehow query the already running limewire and popup a dialog asking me if I wish to download magnet link such and such in that already loaded instance. LimeWire did ask if I wanted to add it to my download list, but, sadly, it loaded another copy of itself in the process, which is not good.

Is there some other way I could pass magnet links to LimeWire in linux that doesn't make it load another copy of itself? And another question is, does anyone know how to associate magnet: URI's in FireFox or konqueror to LimeWire so that simply clicking a magnet: link sends the entire magnet URI to limewire?

Copy the link in the clipboard and switch to limewire. Under linux, Limewire checks the clipboard and if it contains a magnet link it will ask if you want to download it.

about the seekable player...more explanation...

You of course know of the integrated player in Limewire...now this player plays straight through the song correct? No way of going back and forth... (Limewire Player)

Well MamiyaOtaru made an integrated player (AquaLime Player) in which while playing a song you can drag across the player and move the song forward and backward.

I believe he has said he sent in the code but I can't be for sure. You can check out the latest AquaLime over at UTC or my site if your still confused

I was just wondering if this was going to be put into the anticipated 4.0 version.

Oh! Cool! Thanks! I didn't know that worked since the first time I switched it to LimeWire it didn't do or say anything when I had a magnet URI in my clipboard making me think there had to be some other way to get it to read magnet URI's. But the second time worked like a charm.

-- "repeat search" not effective--I have to use the keyword (autocomplete) search to find more sources.

--please reduce the font size in the OSX stats. The smaller font size looks great in the results, connections, library, etc.

how is everyone liking the 'What's New?' search? it will definitely be in 4.0 but i'd like to get any/all feedback about the feature.

stief · #29 (**permalink**) April 26th, 2004

for the most part it's great. As I said before, very addictive. It also serves to train a user in the use of filters to sort the results.

I predict that it will be copied by other vendors very quickly.

The results, though, are often disturbing, and there will be more reactions to the kiddie porn and other dark files that many users would not otherwise see. Perhaps a note/tooltip advertising the "block host" feature might help reduce the complaints and make it a feature.

The definition of "new" is unclear. I keep seeing files from other machines on my LAN that were first shared weeks ago showing up in "what's new."

I really like seeing files in non-Roman scripts. I wish they could be control-clicked and entered in the keyword search for editing or finding hosts to browse.

A small item:

If one clicks "Kill Download", the icon in the search pane for that search result (the download of which was just killed) remains the "currently downloading" icon. Definitely not a show-stopper by any means, but I figured I'd note it just as well.

Great job, limewire team.
