Limewire Pro 2.5.5 Shared File Size Limit?

[KenRay53]

Hi,

I have been using Limewire pro 2.4.3 with good results.

I installed pro 2.5.5 and set up the same (2.4.3) directories and files as shared. In the 'library' tab I noticed that some of my files (the larger ones) do not appear at all.

What gives? Am I doing something wrong, is this a bug, or did some sneaky person decide to impose size limits on the world?

Thanks,

Ken

Have patience. Version 2.5.5. of LimeWire includes a hashing feature. Each of the files you share is hashed (a number is created that is close to unique for the file - this has a number of uses).

The hashing process is a bit slow, more so for large files. A file will only appear in your library once it has been hashed - so if you wait a little longer, LimeWire will list the files that it has not yet listed.

LimeWire /could/ do it faster - but it has been deliberately set up not to use all your processor power during the hashing process.
