Has anyone noticed that GTKG now seems to refuse all requests for any file, if they ask for the entire file in a single chunk? (NOTE: Most of my files are very large, between 100MB and 200MB.)
I have noticed this recently, and believe that it is an error to refuse to deliver the file in a single large chunk. It appears that there are still many Gnet clients that do this as their default, and they are now unable to obtain any files from GTKG as a result. The request is treated as an EOF error, when it's reported on the display. Futher, is there any way to force a client to use a specific minimum chunk size? I find the Limewire default chunksize of 97.7K to be incredibly wasteful of bandwidth, as they seem to spend at least 50% of their connection time in handshaking for the next chunk, instead of actually downloading from my system. Futher, the constant download-renegotiate-download cycle causes the other connections to fluctuate in speed as the Limewire connection is constantly added and removed from the total "upload" speed. It must be giving the code that tries to balance the connection speeds fits, because of the constant adding and dropping of the connection. Solving these two issues will provide more stable connection speeds for the users, and allow more of the community to access files served by GTKG. Other than that, the recent 0.93.1 release seems very stable on Solaris X86 - Bravo to all the folks involved in the recent updates and fixes!
