Shareaza and G1

[swordofwar]

Why does the latest stable release of Shareaza not query for G1 hosts by default?

Discovery.EnableG1WebCache is set to false upon a fresh install. Basically it will never find a G1 host until you either enable this flag and add some G1 discovery URLs, or by finding a G1 IP and manually connecting to it, so it can find others via UDP.

Sure, I was able to figure it out, but for a program like this (file sharing) it should be as easy as possible for people to get connected, or it limits the availability of files.

This should really be fixed, as someone not experienced with the Shareaza interface will never know why it can't connect, and assume it just isn't working and uninstall the program.

OMG! Thankyou, thanks, thanx @ SwordOfWar :D

This was driving me absolutely bonkers. Such a simple fix. But, yeh, why isn't Discovery.EnableG1WebCache set to True upon a fresh install?
