Shareaza

When you start downloading from a web site, download will have the IP of HTTP server as a source. When Shareaza is not able to connect to that server for some reason (Usually temporary), it deletes that source. This leads to a problem: Because that file was not from a P2P network, probablity of it being find in P2P network is low. So, that file stays in download list without any source forever.

For this reason the HTTP (or maybe FTP) sources of a download should never be deleted by Shareaza automatically.

Thank You

In general, it might be a good idea to try all non-push sources twice with a suitable interval before dropping. One hour maybe?

One hour would not be enough. It should try it at least four times with 7 hour intervals. A http server maybe down for one day.

Implementing this interval method may lead to unneeded overhead in code. This is why I suggested never drop method.

I made a ticket.
