Need More Sources after Awaiting Sources

[hopalong]

This problem is again here.After a longer pause (about 1 hour) in Awaiting Sources state I made a 'Resume', and all of my files got into Need More Sources. But then after a 'Find Sources' all files (except one) goes as fast to 'Awaiting Sources' as after a 'Resume' in Awaiting Sources state (maybe without full network search). The one exception (not always the same file) goes to 'Waiting 300s for Sources' state, and in many times when the counter goes to 0s, after connecting LW begins to count from 300s again. This running counter occurs after a 'resume' in Awaiting Source state too, so sometimes I have two running Waiting nnns for Sources counter. After many cycle the counter stops, and the file(s) go into Awaiting Sources state.

This is because of the DHT. You're only allowed a full network search once per file, but you can query the DHT more than once. Querying the DHT happens very fast, that's why the files go quickly to Awaiting Sources.

What is the base of LW's decision to put all of the files again into Need More Sources state ? If LW knows that for 'Find Sources' only A DHT search follows, why doesn't use new state and button text ?
And why is one of my files Waiting nnns for Sources even now (after one and half hour) ?

the first time you click that button limewire searches the DHT, and doesn't wait for sources, the second time gnutella and waits 300s for more sources, and after that only the DHT.

We should try to do something a little more intelligent instead of requiring the user to click a button a bunch of times to do the same thing. Like maybe polling the DHT and if no sources are found, then automatically polling Gnutella.

OK, I don't see this, but maybe I will be understand later. Thanks.

This sounds very well.
