The 2.1.1 beta is now available for download. Users of the free ad-supported version can get it from http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download_beta . Users of the PRO version can get it with the instructions in their original sales email.

Like 2.1.0, this version allows leaves to maintain multiple ultrapeer (or 0.4) connections. This dramatically increases your search horizon. 2.1.1 also fixes some important bugs and may allow you to get even more search results than in 2.1.0.

As always, your feedback is appreciated.

Whoa, this is awesome....

i am on a cable line 3000 down 256 up. I am not seeing any multisource downloads. I picked search terms that i know would return over ten hosts, no need to name names. Anyway, at no time did i get a download that came from more than one source. one file supposedly had 30 sources, but when i went to download, i was only pulling from one source. just thought i would let you know.

"2.1.1 also fixes some important bugs"
cydoor is back in this installer

man i feel sorry for you windows users with all the spyware crap. not just in limewire, i am talking about in general. viruses, trojans, spyware. damn.

windows :x I'm a FreeBSD user :]


Just b/c 30 other people have the same file doesnt mean you're going to get multiple-source download for that particular file everytime. They have to meet requirements and etc. Most of the time they're "firewalled" users with the private addresses so you cant really download from them anyways.

Because you have a NAT/firewall doesn't mean that other users can't download from you .
I have all LW/Gnutella related connections forwared to my server from where I run LW and people can download normal from me (witout sending push requests and other firewall crap)

Dear Limewire team
Is having multiple ultrapeers a temporary solution to increase connectivity while the network is restructuring? I m no expert but it sounds like having multiple ultrapper connections may create unneccesary traffic and reduce network efficiency? From what Ive been told on the Fasttrack network, clients are connected to only 1 superpeer with a connectivity of 500,000 users. Perhaps this is because their network is completely structured?
I do like the new beta version though. Its great to have better connectivity.
I think eventually ultrapeer technology will connect everyone. I m patient.
Thanx

I know that but if you would of read what I had written, you could see I said PEOPLE WITH PRIVATE ADDRESSES, meaning 192.168.*.*. and 10.*.*.* addresses (not public addresses). But if you force your IP to the public address the world sees you as then of course people can download from you. I am also behind a NAT'd machine. I also redirect port 6346 to my machine and force my IP to my public address.

I know you said that ...
What's your point ?
