Shareaza

I was using Shareaza 2.4. and didn't see any reason to upgrade until G2 stopped working recently. I assumed it was because my software was very old, so I upgraded to 2.7. Among the many things I tried to get it working was deleting the entries in the server cache and reloading the emule/edonker server lists with something more recent (that wasn't working before either).

Anyhow, I've now got version 2.7 installed and emule/edonkey access is working for the first time in a long time. But the other file sharing services are all down, which I attribute to having wiped out the addresses for the servers for the initial connection. I've tried to figure out how to manually enter an address without success. I've also tried uninstalling version 2.7 and installing it again, but it appears to have the same server list as before. I'm stuck -- how to I replace or reset the server list and get the other servers working again?

Thanks!

Plz check first in your settings whether all desired networks are enabled as they are supposed to be.

Use the connection test to check whether you have optimum connectivity (Help menu). Then use the discovery services for the gnutella and G2 networks (blue and gray icons) and query them manually until you see that you have gotten Hosts from at least 2 of them (Discovery Window). Then restart Shareaza and see whether it connects as expected. If it does not, have a look at the Host Cache whether you have actually gotten hosts from the services you have previously queried.

You can access the Discovery window either by hitting F9 or via View >> Discovery.
