Shareaza

I installed June's Patch Tuesday updates on my old Windows Vista box, rebooted, and restarted Shareaza, and now it cannot connect to DC++ hubs.

The only thing I changed since when DC++ was working was to install Windoze Updates and reboot.

Some one among the recent patches must have introduced a change in how networking works on Windoze, which was enough to somehow break Shareaza's DC++ leaf-to-hub protocol implementation, while not noticeably affecting anything else (except possibly BitTorrent; I haven't tried that since the update patches). Shareaza will presumably need a matching update to make its DC++ leaf-to-hub communications work correctly again in the presence of these Windoze patches.

Please look into this and release a Shareaza 2.7.9.1 with DC++ updated to work with recent Windoze Updates ASAP.

Well, another Patch Tuesday has come and gone and Microsoft hasn't fixed it. Most likely they never will, which means restoring DC++ support is up to you guys. You'll just have to work around whatever last month's patches changed or broke.

Please do so as quickly as possible, and please acknowledge this message.

can you PING the hub addressees ?

I doubt the issue can simply be bypassed with a Shareaza update.
