Ants 0.6.6 Released ..the query flood bug fix??

[AussieMatt]

Changelog (wow Grwen posted a changelog)
Modified query engine... now only the most recent results without sources are given back when you perform a search over the net, this increases the probability that a node answers with results whose sources are still active on the net. The timeout before a file seen is discarded as a stale one is 60 minutes.

I know that MUTE was suffering from dud results as lots of people where looking to see what the fuss was about without coming back. ANts must be suffering the same effect at this stage.

Great to see Gwren continuing with nightly updates. He must be the hardest working developer on the planet.

Thanks AussieMatt for posting changelog.

Do you know is Gwren looking at the scaling issues?

A lot of users on irc were saying, "great ANts is working better than ever", when first starting new release as there were only a few users in new release matrix (ANts net).

Then when more users joined the performance went back down to normal (not so good).

Also, do you know what casues the start up issue i.e. when you first start ANts you get loads of downloads starting. Later on though much of this download and upload activity ceases. I normally start ANts in the morning. Is it a scaling issue? Caused my more people upgrading as the day goes on?

If this is the case, for Gwren to see what's going on, he needs to hold back from releasing updates for a few days so that he can fully see the scaling issues so that he can solve them.

Thanks Ez
