We are pleased to announce the release of LimeWire 2.6.3. With this release, we have cut all dependencies on all central host caches. LimeWire now uses distributed GWebCaches for initial entry points into the Gnutella network. Once LimeWire is up on the network, it will also remember long uptime clients to reconnect to in the future.
Statistics have been added to the Library that show the popularity of files based on the number of uploads and searches that are being performing on them. The number of alternate locations that LimeWire knows about for each file is also shown. These alternate locations help downloaders swarm from multiple locations.
LimeWire 2.6.3 is also a major bug fix release. Upload bugs have been fixed related to ensuring the closing of network sockets and to not counting informational requests as uploads. A browse host request on a host with no files no longer causes an error message. Many other occasional exceptions were fixed.
New translations are available for Catalan, Italian, Portuguese and Swedish. Dutch, German, French and Spanish continue to be available.
