RE: [core-dev] 4.2.3 Pro Magnet bugs?

Hi Brian,

 

The option is actually only available if LimeWire detects that it can accept
an incoming connection and it knows its IP address isn't private (ie, it
isn't 10.254.x.x or 192.168.x.x).  If you'd like to change the code to make
it always available (for easier testing on your part), you can change
com/limegroup/gnutella/gui/library/LibraryMediator. shouldShowHTTPOption()
to always return true.  (That class is in the gui module.)  The current
file-view isn't really well-suited to serving a static page, though - it
generates a random number that's changed on every launch, so that browsers
can't easily use up all your bandwidth.  There's a (somewhat stale) branch
in CVS called 'thumbed-view-branch' that changed the format of the HTML
page, added thumbnail-sized previews to images, and an option that would let
someone turn off the password behavior (so you could make a link once & run
LimeWire multiple times and always have it work).  We're going to dust that
branch off at some point and incorporate it, but for now the file-view is
mainly intended for short-lived views.

 

Thanks,

 Sam

Hi Greg, I will try disabling my firewall to see if that solves the port
problem problem (I don't have anything fancy on this system, just a standard
ZoneAlarms firewall and no port forwarding). From what I can gather the
option to create a Web page for a file (when clicking on it in the Library)
is sporatic -- it hasn't worked at on the the laptop that I reported about
originally (the original message below) but I could see and use that option
on myu desktop once in a while. But now, for instance, it's no longer
available on my desktop either -- it's just gone; the menu item does not
appear. I have Pro 4.2.3 on both systems... maybe the create a Web page
option is tied to some status/event when Limewire is running that doesn't
actually occur at times?

Thanks again for your help,

Brian

 I also noticed that the ability to create a Web page for my Library files
is gone from this Pro version. When running the older CVS code I can
right-click on a Library file and create a Web link (to share directly).
That option appears directly below the "Magnet Details for File" option, but
it's not available when I run Pro 4.2.2 -- not sure if that feature was
removed, or if it's a bug?

David,

 

Regarding the Magnet detail port issue, I don't see any hard coded port
number there.  What I have noticed in the past is that if you are behind a
firewall and have set a different port for forwarding through the firewall
then the magnet detail page will be for your firewalled port rather than
your local port.  Do you happen to have that situation?

 

Thanks

-greg

Hello again, I just updated to the latest version of Limewire Pro and
noticed that it incorrectly sets the port number when creating Magnet Link
Details. When I right-click on a file in my Library, then choose "Magnet
Details for File" it uses port number 6346 for the xs attribute which is not
correct (at least on my setup) since the port number for me is actually 6348
-- I had to manually change the port number to get the link to work
properly. I didn't choose a different port number, but instead noticed that
I couldn't use the magnet to download from my own system until I changed the
link. I did notice while working with the source code from a recent CVS
snapshot that the port number is hard-coded in some .java source code files,
which might explain the problem.

I also noticed that the ability to create a Web page for my Library files is
gone from this Pro version. When running the older CVS code I can
right-click on a Library file and create a Web link (to share directly).
That option appears directly below the "Magnet Details for File" option, but
it's not available when I run Pro 4.2.2 -- not sure if that feature was
removed, or if it's a bug?

Hope this feedback helps (and thanks for a great product),

David
