Cannot download on Bearshare

[dave da rave]

When eve rI install BS it doesn't download, just says something about users being "unatuhenticated" or "trying". I was told to delete the connections file in the Bearshare db which I did and it worked fine untill I restarted the program and it went back to not being able to download. I deleted the conenctions file again but this time it didn't work so I have to uninstall/reinstall.

Anyone know whats wrong? I can use other clients that use th eGnutella network like Limewire and eMule.

next time you have a problem use google.
this is how you use google.com search engine to help you, google is your friend.
type in the problem more or less with key words that way google will help you guide you to a site or forum where there are similiar problems.

a new enlightenment *google is your friend* good luck

Google is an asshole, but....still very helpful for trouble shooting. :icon_thum

I did use Google, nothing there helped me, already read that link you gave me. nub.

Oh, and I don't see hoe every single client can be unauthenticated tbh.

I suggest usng Bearshare Lite, if not already. www.bearshare.com/lite Then come back...

[dave da rave]

It is Bearshare Lite

are u sharing files
look at this portion of the thread here it blocks u if you are freeloading, so are u sharing files?
how about doing a screenshot of the problem so we can look at it

Im still wondering why over 70% of the bearshares I connect to are giving me 401 / Unauthorized



They block you... they enabled the "freeloder channel" feature... read the link kathw posted (you need a yahoo account).

here is my advice dont use bearshare if its causing problems use gnucleus
ares
limewire is great for gnutella too
bittorent
dc
stay away from bearshare if its problematic for you why go through unneccesary bullshit changes if a program is causing problems.

I know people who do not share a thing, no uploads, nothing and they can still download.
