Bear Share is bare

**The Hunter** · February 20th, 2006, 07:45 PM

a wierd thing happened tonight. The bear was running great, and then all downloads stopped. The uploads are working fine. I changed nothing, and ares works fine. I tried both the lite and pro version of the bear, with no difference.

I've seen that before Hunter, cant recall what the deal was, but do the usual, reboot, restart the prog etc.

Might reset the router or modem too.

Let me know what you find out.

Already done a full reboot, cold start of modum, after a 15 min shutdown. I will try again in the AM, and see if it gets its bear shit together.

You dont need to wait 15 minutes, the packet fairies dont need smoke breaks.

As I recall whatever the problem was worked itself out, I havent ran BearShare in months now tho, not loaded on my system.

LOL, I unplugged the modum, and became otherwise indesposed, so the 15 min is an estimate. Anyway it was shutdown for a while.

I just lost my newest porn arrivals.

Some people (me) never learn to back their shit up.

We'll? DId all go back to normal?

**The Hunter** · February 21st, 2006, 04:25 AM

Nope, its still not downloading, although its uploading fine.

Very strange! Im glad to see you using the bear but it sucks to have such trouble. Even so, I have found the bear to be a great app

**shawners** · February 21st, 2006, 04:36 AM

can it hop servers or some shit? Its a freakin bear, it needs to go attack the wild. =) It wouldnt suprise me if the server/person you connect to is no longer connected to the other part of the network. OR with updated programs, some do ban other clients on the network.

Things like this is why I changed over to different part of filesharing. Having more control over apps and not have to worry if im getting full speed or my partials will stay partial. BT and usenet gave me the end result i was lookin for.

Ive been using it for quite a while with fantastic results until last night. Everything was fine, and then my single download stopped. I tried different searches with lots of results, but not one download would start.
