Shareaza

I downloaded and installed the most recent debug build yesterday (Shareaza_2.5.2.2_Win32_Debug_r8578_2010-04-20.exe) I had been having problems with several things so I used Comodo System Cleaner to correct them. I had uninstalled shareaza and searched for all files with that name and removed them as well. After I installed the new bugbuild everything was great I had screaming fast downloads with no problems. I had to shut shareaza off so I could restart my pc due to an automatic update. Now the problem. When I restarted shareaza I got no downloads, I know sometimes it takes a few minutes to pick up, so I waited a while. Still nothing. Shut it down, restarted, still nothing. Shut it down again. Restarted, got a fast download for a minute then nothing. It's running now at 62 KB/s and 9 for the uploads and 687 B/s and 0 for the downloads. I have run the connection test with long timeout and passed with no trouble. I did everything according to Old Death's install guide. I have run the patch for windows. I have done everything I know but I still get nothing. The update I ran earlier was for firefox so it shouldn't have affected shareaza at all. Please tell me what I can do to get my downloads back.

Fixed it! I had to run the windows patch again. No idea why but I did. I have screaming fast downloads again

Ok something is broken again. I shut down my pc to uninstall a game and now SZ isn't getting any downloads again. I didn't change anything, I shut it down and restarted. I have run the connection test again and passed with no problem. Help!

go to view and select power mode, then you should be able to access the neighbours window from within the view menu easily...

I located the neighbors window with no problem but now it's happening again. I had to shut down for a driver update (nvidia) and when I restarted sz I don't get any downloads. I ran the clean up thing again, it didn't find anything except some cookies, I ran the patch again, it still shows 50 open ports, so the only thing left to do is uninstall and reinstall sz which is a total PITA. Can anyone explain this? The debug build I am using is only a few days old, should I update? Help!

It's probably the host cache getting polluted. I think foxy blocking needs to be built into the next version.
