Maybe it's related or not. In January I removed some code which I deemed to be outdated. That is sending SHA-1 hashes in ASCII form instead of binary form using GGEP H. I realized that there were a lot of requests by filename from LimeWire recently. Thus I looked at LimeWire's code and found out that they do not handle GGEP H at all. In fact, some time ago I noticed that gtk-gnutella seems to be the only software using it albeit it saves a bit of bandwidth and is easier to handle than a mix of GGEP and non-GGEP extensions. Anyway, this is fixed again in the current revision. -- Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
