I'm having trouble uploading. I have a file I want to introduce to the network, so I put it in my designated upload folder. However, it doesn't appear when I do a search. Is there another step I have to do?

Thanks for hosting the forum, btw.

>>2
Did you let the file finish uploading? If you did, it's hash information is supposed to be stored locally, and should show up when searching.

What exactly does the ID specify? Is it the user who originally uploaded the file to the network? Also why do some files have a ID and others don't?

ID is used for people who release stuff, so that you know that you're getting the real thing (there are a lot of fake files, as well as ones that are harmful to your computer on the network). Best example would be new versions of Share - always search for new versions with the author's ID, other files could contain garbage inside (viruses, trojans and so on).

ID is a tripcode, as 6 said. Share's type of ID is very nifty:

If you don't put a name, it works the same as Winny ID.
If you do put a name, it's more secure.

However, in the event that Share or Winny's ID system is cracked it won't be secure at all. I assume the author has countermeasures for this.

Ah I get it now...thanks a lot.

oh...also, anyone know the link to the website that tells you if share/winny can access your ports?

Sorry, I have never heard of any such site, and I'm not sure how that would work either since each user sets their own individual port for Winny/Share to use.

Hey all,
I'm having some trouble with port settings...when I try to connect, share disconnects within a minute claiming due to port error. Anyone have any advice?

Open up whatever port you're using on your router/firewall?

I heard on IRC that there exist a share clone for Linux. Can someone please tell me more info and/or give me the download link for it ?

Thanks in advance.

Never heard of such a thing, and I'd take any such claims with a grain of salt.

>>13
That has to be a lie, because the Share project is closed source, and the protocols are not know. ファイル倉庫 would have noticed the users somehow if he had created such a version! The Share community and 2ch would also be all over it if that was correct!

I can't download stuff. Isn't it like double click on the file like in Winny? I also did right click and did add to download. Nothing happens. and why is my winny keep on disconnecting?

go to folders tab and set up a cache folder

Make sure you aren't assigning the same port to both Share and Winny.
Read the tutorial on uguu.org

ok dl problem solved at least it show up on the dl list. but it still keeps on disconnecting. I just assigned random port that came into my mind like 4463. I don't have fire wall by the way. Oh and what's the use of cluster when you can just type stuff in search?

make sure the firewall that came with windows xp is off, and if you have a router than you most likely have a firewall. Nodes with the same clusters will get connected with each other more easily, thus looking for stuff from certain categories becomes easier.

I turned off firewall from local network settings. I don't have a router.

okay here is the deal, if you click on the nodes tab you will see that some nodes have Test or Check in the Type column, and they disappear very quickly, don't worry about that, read the FAQ again to find out what those are. Other nodes are Sleep, but there are 2 types of Sleep, the grey ones haven't been tested for connectivity yet, the white ones have been tested and can be connected to to donwload or upload at any time. Simply put for both Share and Winny if you see that there is some uploading/downloading going on (in the status bar) it means everything is ok, if both ul/dl stay at 0kb for a while then the programs are not connecting at all.

I have name set as a trigger, enabled and apply filters checked. I have b c set as filter, yet I still get name b c files. why is that? I have 175 filters.

what does it mean to add a file to the database?

ok the only thing that I didn't check is the system clock and everything else I checked. It still doesn't work. The thing is I do see very few white colored ones and I can't connect with them. Also, I won't worry too much if it keeps showing the nodes search. It just dissapears later and never come back on unless I press the connect button. The connect button automaticly gets turned off after 3minutes or so.

Most likely your router is blocking Share. For Share to work on my D-Link 524 I had to set rules in Virtual Server and Special Application. Should be similar for any other router I imagine.

What does it mean if there was an error when trying to convert a file? Is it possible to recover the file or will I have to re-download the whole thing?

OK I looked at the log and it says
"disconnected due to time check error"
Is it now specific enough to solve the problem?
I don't use router

I also have that "disconnected due to time check error" in Version A82 and I did set it right in Bios, Windows and Linux. I tried setting my time-zone to japanese as well, but I still get that error.
I'd be glad if someone could help me.

Help! I can't get new search results! It seems that every query result comes from some cache or database stored locally. And even restarting doesn't help.

New results will come when you connect new nodes. Try pressing enter in the search box again once a while and new results should come up.

Now I have a question. :)
I want to download some files related to "X" However I don't want to download files with names like "X... Y...", "X...Z..." or "X... "rX"..." how should I create a rule for that? The rule I am using currently, a trigger with "X -y -z -"1y" -"1z"" doesn't really filter out the files I don't want.

I set a trigger for X, and filters for "X Y", "X Z", etc. It seems to work.

hi people, another question. suppose the file/cache is incomplete, is there a way to force convert the cache? everytime I ended up wit something like "data block corrupted"

Happened to me very often recently, this is how i did: restart the computer and the modem and router. After that everything converts ok.

Every node I try to connect to is down. I opened up the port 8876 on my DI-624 (Virtual Server & Applications) and nothing works. The strange thing is it worked about a month ago.

Hi,
I would like to try the udp version of share and from what I understand I should use separate directories. But can we share the cache between the two versions ?

hi.
tell me about nodes please.
I've downloaded nodes.txt(for udp) from uguu.org
i've searched for アニメ and got only few results.
why? do I need to download more nodes to see more ppl?

nodes are ppl.

... but once you have an initial node list, it will find other nodes automatically. did you set any clusters?

what do you do to filter out those files with extremely long file name?

example:

Hi,
I 've tried to download some random small files for testing purpose.
In every case ,after I've got a chunk(or whatever is called) , the number listed under "order" ,indicating my position in a queue ,is vanished.
Take a look yourself:
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/4650/immagine9qr.jpg
I've left Share open for several hours but nothing happened and i've no idea in what position I'am supposed to be in a queue.
Does anyone can explain me what i'm doing of wrong ?

according to the screenshot your computer couldn't find any node with all the chunks for the files, in the Status column you should see 1/2 and 1/7, which mean your node sees 1 chunk out of 2 for the first file and 1 out of 7 for the second one, and thus cannot completely finish the files. There is not much you can do other than wait patiently, this is how it works, just queue up a lot of stuff and there will be some that will finish quickly.

>>35
There is a plugin for that purpose, I think its name was ForcedFileConverter, or something along those lines. Though it will probably have problems converting corrupted files, it could work.

It could convert the files for you, but they will be corrupt so i don't see any point in doing so. The only good use for it is to force convert some files with enough recovery records to actually fix the files if they were to be converted prematurely (keep in mind that it doesn't always work). And of course there is another problem with files with japanese characters in filenames, which will render the plugin useless.

Oh and the solution could be very simple, as I have posted somewhere above - reset you router and modem and the problem will be gone, at least that what I did (been happening quite a lot lately, like every few days).

Hi to all,
i've noted there is an upper limit in the total node, that is after some time Node Count reaches a maximum of 10000 and doesn't go further.
It's normal? or i have to set something to rise this limit?
I'm using Share A82.
Thank you.

that's right, there is a limit of 10000 nodes, which should be enough for everone.

Has anyone got Share to work under Wine in Linux?

im using a82. never had this happen before, but in the nodes tab, after some time trying to connect, everything disappears on the page. including the ones that it connected to. so when i go to the nodes tab, its all black with no text.

Make sure you haven't accidentally turn "Show sleep nodes" off.

>>50
Click the log tab and see if you were disconnected.

I already set up a cache folder and still I can't download. I have a D-LINK modem routed. Do I need to configurate anything?

open a port for Share.

hello!

i'm having some problems with share. It keeps crashing my computer after running for a while, maybe 10 to 15 minutes or so. not sure what I can do about it. perhaps its some memory problem, is there a way to lower the amount to connections share makes?

anyone has crashing computers using share?

i'm using share A82 on a winXP with 1GB ram.

Does someone know how to OPEN a port for share in a D-link modem?

RTFM

If my upload is limited to 10, so ...is share going to work? Cause i can search allright, i can even queue stuff, but and it comes to download... i get 1,0 IF i get. Maybe shre is a NAZI bittorent. I can only download if im uploadinh in light speed O_O

Does cache and download folder has to be the same?

>>59 no problem at all, keep in mind that you need a lot of patience, sometimes you get fast nodes to upload to you, sometimes slower, sometimes not at all. Also check if your router/firewall is blocking the port needed. One more thing is that some ISPs are supposedly blocking Share/Winny.

>>60 No.

a) Wierd... i tested seting netlimiter to 1ks/s upload and the download increasely fell down... I have a thought that this has something to do with getting poor download speed.

b) So which por should i open?

Share need some upload bandwidth to communicate with other nodes, so don't go cap it at 1kb, keep it at around 10kb (I can max my down stream easily while capping upload at 10kb, YMMV though).
As for port for Share open the one you set up in Share options.

>>63-64
Share at least some bandwidth/cache back or gtfo the network please.

I heard that share checks to make sure that your upload is the same as what you state. I think I read that in the uchuu winny guide.

err... share guide I mean

I want to RTFM, where is it? uguu.org isn't cutting it.

nevermind, figured it out.

Well, i think ur all mistaken. share must need more upload bandwidth than what i really have cause no matter if my upload is working at 10 (its limit) or 1... i get the same speed for download... so i really think i cant use share and probably never will cause in my country no one has this upload.

blame your isp, not us. I for one am capping my upload and can download at full speed (3mbit line).

Any way that I can test to see whether I can download from share?

I have set up multiple triggers to download stuff, items were added to the download list.
Then I allowed Share to hang on for 3 days but nothing downloaded, not even 1k.
I can see I'm uploading at about 20k/s so port is probably working.

I have already set up the cache folder and download folder.

try to search for something that is popular, download the result that is in orange color, also check if there is any piece of the file in your download list available (Download tab, Status column if you see 0/x then not 1 node has even 1 piece for that file).

Gretting all, I have just download the latest vesrion of Share, but after setting it up, nothing happen when I do a search. I hope u guys can give me some help.
First of all can someone tell me what numbers should I enter for the port in the general setting section? Bear with me that I dont know jack about networking, if the port number is to acquire from my own computer, please tell me how to do so.
Second, can some1 tell me how to add nodes? After I enter those long numbers that they post on the website it said I can't use a domain name or somthing like that.
I have read the english faq and still have no clue about what to do, so .
Your help is greatly appreicated, my much thanks in advance.

>>75
You need to copy-paste the letter-number strings into the big box in the "Connect" dialog. Nothing else should go in there.
Once you are connected properly, you need to hit search, close the window, come back in a few minutes, refresh and see if you got anything. If you aren't connected, the search will only turn up results in your local database.

thanks you man!
Actually I just asked some1 who can help me with those problem...
Now I got another problem, hope u guys can help me 1 more time.
When I search for a word (ex:tv) and press connect in the nodes tab, certain connection were showed for a brief while but than they disappear.
What have I dont wrong?
I have already add couple of nodes address and also added folder for each file type (tho I can not add a download folder in the same place as other folder do).

You can see the nodes only when you are searching/downloading/uploading, otherwise they are sleep nodes and can be seen if you turn "Show sleep nodes" option on (Nodes tab).

Anything I can do about a file that has completed yet says "data block corrupted" when I try to convert it? If possible I'd like to recover whats after the bad block.

>>77
Look in the log. if it says "port error" you need to open your ports (might need help with that). if it says "time check error" fix your clock

>>79
If it's a ZIP file, you can use a recovery tool like SimplyZIP.

But it sounds like your hard drive has a problem.

I have some basic questions.

First off, how do people have so many filters? You can only check 5. Or do they just go and uncheck and check some other ones all the time.

Also, What are triggers?

Lastly, where is the best place to find plugins?

> What are triggers?

Triggers let you set keywords that when your client finds a match, cue's up/downloads the matches. It's best to not use a very general term for a Trigger, as this can cause your client to cue up a shitload of files you might not want.

> Lastly, where is the best place to find plugins?

On the Share network itself.

> First off, how do people have so many filters? You can only check 5.

That's not filters, those are your cluster keywords.
And yes, you check and uncheck them depending on what you think would benefit your present search(es) the most.

Ok.. when I start Share it just gives me this error message:
"CryptGenKey Code:80090020.
An internal error occured"

Does anyone know what is causing this and how can I fix it? O_o

And I'm Using version a82 on win2k sp4

quote from USENET:

> 0x80090020 usually means you are exporting a user key when the user is not logged on.

I think you have an OS problem, maybe you need to run as admin if you aren't already

Ah.. finally.. I got it work \o/
I had Protected Storage service disabled. That was the problem.
>>88 Thanks for the URLs.. they were helpful :).

Hello,

Is there any limitation for the max number of download? Currently I have 44 items under my download tab and later on when I perform a search then right click on the file to add it to download, it doesn't take any effect (the color doesn't turn blue). May I know is there anyway to get through this?

TQVM

>>90
May be doubles of files you already downloaded.

thanks for the reply.

the problem somehow gone away after i reboot my pc. While for now, im having problem with the plugin. May someone teach me how to download and install a plugin? I can't seems to find a copy of it on the network.

Anyone with optimum online get Share/Winny to work?

>>23

Nodes constantly appear and disappear in my node list under the whole check/test/search status. When I click 'show sleep nodes' I can see a ton of nodes with some highlighted white. So does this mean things are working properly?

Because my search results are constantly changing. And I also have a high ratio of 'connection errors' to 'connection attempts'.

If you can see white sleep nodes than everything is fine. Search results change depending on which node you're connected to at the moment.

>>95
Ok thanks for clearing that up.

According to the uguu share guide, when 'order' is 1 the file should be ready to download. I see a few files in my download tab at order 1 with available file parts and none are downloading. Is that normal? I've set a quota on my cache folder.

A few days back I started having bandwidth problems while using Share. I allow 50KB/sec upload (I have a megabit upload total), and I used to download at 200-300KB/sec for a week straight - but now I'm only getting 40KB/sec even though my connection is getting saturated (all other machines behind my NAT router are only getting 1KB/sec while Share is running on one machine. Once I kill Share everyhting is fine. It's almost like I'm being DOS'ed. Has anyone seen this problem before?

First time share user. Left it on for 2 days and only got about 50KB on 4 different files. Meanwhile the thing is constantly uploading and hogging more resources than a bit torrent client.

I guess I will have to depend on others to get Japanese files from now on. Maybe I will try winny later. Screw the RIAA for shutting down winmx.

I get this error everytime I try to start up Share.

The Share.exe file is linked to missing export user32.dll:updatelayeredwindow.

Can anyone please help me?

Covertly got 100

how to repair cache file? Check and recover + convert down't work

I'm new to Share A82...I just dled NodeKun(filter) and I don't get it on how to use it...I don't know how to add it in Share...Can some1 plz tell me how to add filters?

Can some1 tell me wat are the meaning of these words...I don't understand japanese poor me....

Is the figure found under 'cache amount' the number of copies available on the network?

Stupid question... Is there any way to use share from behind a NAT, without any control over port forwarding? Or am I SOL?

if you can't forward a specific port for Share then yeah you're SOL, as with any other P2P program.

how to let convert continue even if encounter bad block

is there a way to set share to work through a proxy, I can bypass the unviersites firewall through a proxy program.

i temporary move unfinish cache file out from cache folder(because I temporary want to stop download this file) , because of that when I start share it show me init failed on a file that the cache I move. I solve it by select option create cache (i uncheck the file on download section).

now I want to continue download this file. I try copy back the cache file into cache folder. but share prompt me init failed and delete the cache.

what should I do to resolve this?

If you want to stop downloading a file temporarily then there is a checkbox in front of every item in your download list, unchecking = Share will not download it.

i know that but now the problem ,I want to recover the existing cache( cause it already 80%)

open download.txt and you should know what to do, note that i am not sure it works or not.

not working but i found the solution.
ok here the trick (all here is my guess , so if wrong don't blame me).
there's 2 important file (hash.db & cache.idx). this file contain info to tell share the last hash file downloaded (my guess is to prevent corruption). every time it finish download a part,it update these files. so when u start share or close share it will do checking/compare the actual file hash with in the db.

because of that when i remove the cache file and start share, it give me init error if by then I copy back the cache file, it will be ok. my mistake is by clicking create cache on init failed file . because by doing this share update the database with the new hash. that why when i try to put back afterward ,share give me init error and remove the file.

SOLUTION.
start share and let the problem file to atleast download a part , then copy the cache file to overwrite it. try to click on convert the file. then it will show the size of your cache file.

Man , how i can DL files in Share A82 without corrupt my files?
Ahh, i'm looking for a share plugin called forcefileconvert too...
Does have anyone it?
Thanks

A file I have completed downloading is getting stuck during the building of the file. In the download tabs it says its done, but Share cannot build the file to the correct filesize, and stops, only to switch from 100% complete down to 99% complete, download what I assume is a new copy of the corrupted piece and restart the building process only to get stuck again and repeat the process.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Try to powercycle your router, seems like a lot of people have this problem including me and after I powercycle my router and modem everything gets back to normal for a few days. To powercycle your router and modem unplug them for a couple of minutes and then replug them.

For every files I try to download , including the orange ones, I cannot find complete chunks for it, even if I've left Share running for many hours.
Sometimes happen that all chunks are found but then get lost after some minute.
As a sidenote, Share is proper configured , nodes are contacted ,I've no error or warning in the log , all things are running smoothly.
Stated that this happen with all file I try to download ,just to exclude some weird problem on my side ,and according to your experiences , do you notice a very long time before Share is able to contact(if there are present, of course) all nodes carrying all the needed chunks?
Thanks!

Simple. Are u using a fat partition? Its have limit per archive with 3.9 Gb. Try using NTFS partition.

>>122 Well there is not much you can do, with this type of programs you need a lot of patience, you should see my download list where i have like close to 100 files that will probably never be completed, on the other hand I have gotten a lot of files as well so the best advice is to add a lot of things into your download list and then patiently wait and some of them are bound to finish (may take days or even weeks).

Man youre A GUEST on the japanese network, at least treat it with respect and upload as much as you possibly can! Personally i can upload max about 45 kb/s and im giving everything to share even though it slows down the internet in general.

Remember that we are guests on the japanese network and if we annoy or leech too much they WILL find a way to get rid of us. But if we behave nicely and share as much as possible they will probably be ok with us using their network, or even like it -> we can also be on their network in the future.

I'd also like to ask about what >>108 said earlier. What's "cache amount" suppose to be?

I also have this problem of converting an already finished file in a cache. It keeps saying "error opening output file." Tried the "rename" function but it doesn't do anything.

Is there a way where I can specify the filename it saves to?

After running share, it freezes at random time and my computer stops responding. It forces me to hard reboot my computer. I am using Window XP. Please help

I installed both versions of share and I can only download files with the UDP-version. With the TCP-version, I can make queries, the upload works but the downloads never start. That's why I tried the UDP-version. With this one everything works fine, but for many queries I didn't find anything (for the same queries I found something with the TCP-version...). Are the majority of the share users using the TCP-version? Is it the reason for the big difference in the queries?

I'm connecting to the internet through a router. For both share versions I opened ports. I don't understand why it's working with the UDP-version and not with the TCP one.

Thank you in advance for your help.

>>128
Run a memtest (google it) and try to reinstall your network card drivers (or even change to a different one).

I'm used share with windows XP SP1 a long time...and this work fine, but now I have a problem. I have a 160GB HD and this don't work on SP1, only on SP2...but my SHARE don't work on SP2...this Can't connect...anybody can help-me?
Ps: I Already turned off window's and all my firewalls and nothing :(

Where can I download the binaries? I've looked through the thread titles but there doesn't isn't one with the location of the binaries.

What does the red share's mean? Ive got lots of white but lots of red too. Would be nice to get connected to em =)

red ones are deemed fake

All the nodes in my list are sleep nodes. Shouldn't I be connecting to different nodes? I only see activity when I click connect. Other than that all nodes are at sleep.
When I press connect there is activity for a few seconds, like test, check, search...but after that there is nothing.

Theyre supposed to be sleep. They will be active when u dl , ul, search etc.

sex anime

> Theyre supposed to be sleep. They will be active when u dl , ul,
> search etc.

If I'm not connected to the node how can it be possible for me to dl, ul, search etc? I just leave it and wait? So far nothing has downloaded.

Also I am getting "Disconnected due to port error" but my port is forwarded. Does it have to be a particular port?

Sleep nodes are fine, you have to wait until something starts downloading to be connected to a node.
Check if there was another program using the same port, or just change the port to something else to see if the problem would reappear.

just wondering about share, found 2 files with same content/filesize SAME HASH but different name and now that's what surprised different Cash Amount
unfortunately looks like share only added that one with less amount to download - any ideas ?

http://tinypic.com/fnz1qq.jpg

You are connected to white sleep nodes. They are just sleeping until they make a search/ul request to you or you make a search/dl request to them.

Wrong, you're not connected to white sleep nodes, there are 3 kinds of sleep nodes grey, red and white, grey means the node has yet to be tested for connectivity, red means the test failed (the node is offline or unreachable), and white means the node has been tested and it's connectable (but after the test share automatically disconnects from that node). The second part of your statement however is correct.
Just keep in mind one thing when it comes to Share or Winny - patience is your friend, queue up a lot of stuff and leave your computer on for as long as possible.

Sorry, i guess i misunderstood that part. Well you learn every day :)

Hi there.. am a realtive noob to share. Was wondering how you actually use the ""[Share Plugin] [PDK9] FolderOpen_004e [ENGLISH].zip AmericanMihayoTalP 83,524 830b2e3d71082f1457cc229eaab7465f6a1b4ae3"" information to find a required file?
thanks in advance

what happen if i added nodes to my list which are not the of same version, are they skipped ?

do users of different version can connect wich each others, if no wich version have much users?

why the list nodes is so frequently refreshed, do the old
adress nodes become obsolete or are they simply supposed to be a bridge in some way for new users ?

at hashdb.com why the hash isn't working for share, is it in another format, if yes is there a converter or is it working simply destined to work for another jap p2p prog if yes wich one?

>>146
Add the hash to your triggers (Triggers tab).

is it possible use a different version without being disconnected?

md5 -> sha-1 converter? I'm interested too.

when you add hashdb.com's hash to the triggers tab like you say a prompt with an error "bad hash" intervene coz i counted the hash's character and in share it need 40 and hashdb.com give you 32 or 36.
my question was what are thos hash from hashdb.com for?

it is because hashdb.com is for winny, not share

ok ,i guess i didn't gave winny enough time.
do you know the origins of the threads from hashdb.com, are they add by users directly in the sites or is the site indexing them from the bbs'es.?

hi .. following from query 146. I did what you have suggested and entere the hash value alone into the triggers tab but nothing much happened. It has a new trigger but no downloading happening. any ideas? thanks

in the trigger tab add a trigger with the hash of the file you can also enter the name.
and if you want to hasten things add this cluster アプリ(it means "application") to your cluster list choices.
and after this you just have to wait :)

>>147 version of Share does not matter, they all will be able to connect with each other. However using an older version is not recommended, in fact it will just automatically deactivate after a while.

Hi .. ive downloaded a 4 something gig file and i just got odne around 10 minutes ago. Previously when i dwonloded stuff, the program automatically converted them and i could see the downloaded file building up in the download folder. This file however has not started converting and i do not see any related file in the download folder. The download window says completed, and the file is in the cache. I tried using the right click, convert option but it doesnt seem to be working. Any ideas?

Uodate to #156. After i right click and say convert, the log says error opening output file! Please help. Its taken me forever to download this huge file :(

One last updateto #156 and #157 - The file name for this file is huge! Im running on windows xp with ntfs.The number of characters in the file name are around 50-60. Is this the cause for the error in opening output file? If so, is ther anything i can do to uncap the maximum file length in xp? Thanks

your hard drive is most likely formatted with fat32 (it has the filesize limit of 4gb), convert it to ntfs and you will be fine (go google on how to do it)

I just checked my drive and it is ntfs on my main drive. i.e. the one where i have my share folders. Any ideas? The file name is in japanese and im ruunning xp in english. but the japanese support appears to be installed. Kinda run up against a wall here. Can anyone help out? it took me a week to get the file :(

The name can be even longer than 50-60 characters np, in fact that file is now on someone's hard drive so it should be able to be named like that. Have you ever downloaded a file with japanese characters in filename before successfully? Did you set up the coding to japanese for your windows (language and regional settings->advanced)? That's about everything I could think of that could potentially be causing problem beside the file system being anything but NTFS, which you already have. One more thing that you could try is to change the download folder to another drive if you have more than 1 drive. Good luck.

First of all a big thank you going out to all the peeps trying to help me out. I did go to the advanced setting and changed it to japanese but it still gives me the same error- error opening output file.Ive used Everest home edition to analyse my hard drive and it says quite clerly that it is ntfs. i tried changing the download folder location but to no avail. in the meanwhile i downloaded a small plugin file and that file has converted automatically and successfully. i have downloaded files with japanese character names before and they seemed ok. Does anyone have any ideas? Im really at my wits end here.

Update: the file name for this file has around 10 japanese characters followed by 15 or so blank spaces followed by the rest of the file name in japanese. I tried downloading another file which was similarly named - this file was only a few hundred bytes but the filename was similarly formatted. And i got the same error while trying to convert this small file!(Error opening output file). So its not a hard drive problem. Its not a naming problem because i have downloaded file names with japanese characters and they convert/display properly. Is it a problem with the file name permitted characterisitics in windows xp home?

i wouldnt normally be so anal retentive about one file - but i have like around a dozen other similar size files at around 40-80% and i really dont want a month of downloading going down the drain.

i have downloaded similar file with winny he had 255 characters in the name but it converted though.
but when i wanted to extract it i could not nor renaming was possible, i tried various renaming program but no one could do it.
finally i found a way.i build a cd image with nero that contained the file and after that the file was at a 8.3 name format then extracted it.
i know that you are blocked at the converting stade..
try to redownload the small file you talked about in other version than the one you are using and see if it convert and after that you would know what to do.
or maybe try to find where the name is stocked and change it, that if you are able to find it :s

i have done some experiment and i think i found a way.
after checking the content of several files and their corresponding caches with an hexadecimal editor;
i found that the cached files had a header of 27 bytes and crypted content that corespond to the size of the filename it was related to;
what i've done is that i opened the cachefile and took off the header (the first 27 characters) and after that moved and renamed the file to a new directory for ex:(\sharea82\upload\pool\pol.bin)and then add the folder as an "upload folder";
then typed a query pol.bin and checked the link button,
then right clicked->convert. after it converted i just renamed the new cache file(you will recognize it by it's size) to what extension it was and that's it.. because the name info will be lost.
for you the problem is that humongus file, try first with the small file and see if it work if it does not then the header is not 27 standard in this case you can easily solve the problem by calculating it (cache size - filename size) the filename size is annouced by share and that's also a lucky point because it an exact size ..
i used ultra-edit to hexaedit the file, i hope that you are accustomed to those kind of procedure.
:)

i forgot to tell that when the conversion is complete you have to supress the header another time.
and that i did not manage to get it to work when the difference between the cached size and the file size is more than 27 bytes.
and also i suspect that the file information is stocked in the file hashdb.db.

It looks like it s a file name problem indeed. The number of characters in the file name are more than 255! i tried to fool the program into overwriting a dummy .iso file i created in c: (its only allowing me to create the file name in c: as in this case only 2 characters are being used up for the directory part of the file name. In any other directory the file name length is crossing 255 and getting truncated because the filename length of 255 also includes the directory path) im trying to do what you suggested but i have very limited experience with hex editors and headers and such. I have a program called hex workshop. I opened the small file ( this also has more than 255 characters) and im trying to see how to modify the header? it has a 27 byte header according to your formula. Thanks a ton for trying to help out. Am looking forward to your reply.

i tried tinkering around a bit. The cache size for the huge file is around a 110,000 bytes off from the file size displayed in share. So im assuming this will not work out? I tried the hex edit with the smaller file size. The header for this was around 27 bytes and so i knocked off the required number of character pairs from the begining of the hex and stored the new file as pol.bin :) and i deleted the cache file. Then i searched for pol.bin , found it and asked share to convert it. I got an error message saying 'error reading clokc hash'. Where did i go wrong/ I cut down the cache file size to exactly match the file size displayed in the download window. any thoughts?

Anyone found working solution?

I have same prob as u :( Stupid giant filename

But my cache file is smaller then file size

>>125

So?
The Soulseek server is in the US I assume, and the majority of Japanese users I've encountered so far are outright LEECHERS, i.e. queuing a ridiculous amount of files with very few to no files shared. We might as well find a way to get rid them.
And since when do national borders exist for any P2P network? I'm sick to death of the Japanese tendency to only share with their own people. Back in the days when WinMX was their P2P program of choice, God knows how many times I was refused a trade simply becuase I was found out to be a foreigner. And WinMX wasn't developed by the Japanese in the first place!
So now they've got their own programs & networks, good for them. But some even go as far as blcoking overseas domains in the config file. WTF? Just shows how insular the Japanese really are I guess.

Just because someone else is a asshole doesn't mean you have to be a asshole aswell.
Treat others as you want others to treat u :P

And i can promise you, if non-japanese people keep leeching off japanese network (which isn't meant for you or me like it or not) they will block non japanese ip or find another way of keeping us out. So no matter what leeching wont help you.

And yes most japanese people are very racist but thats not a excuse for acting like a jerk.

>>174

Do not misunderstand.
I play by the rule on every P2P network I use. For Share and Winny I probably have a better share than the average Japanese user does (filenames in Japanese also), and I swear I upload much more than I download.
The point is that leechers are everywhere, be they foreign or domestic. I'm pretty sure many Japanese leech off their own networks as well. If they really block overseas IPs altogether, I'd say it's not only racist but also stupid, for they only get rid of a tiny part of leechers.
Some Japanese have already targeted Chinese and Korean IPs for blockage, but that has more to do with nationalism and politics than anything else. Users from, say, Europe and North America are still not their main concern as far as I know.
BTW I'm not >>64, just some passerby venting his frustration with the Japanese attitude. Sorry for going off-topic. I have nothing more to say.

>>153
sorry, I made that file, i am offline right now
tell me when you come online and i will start share

trying to solve the output file problem:
-every file that you download have it's "cachefile" stored.
(recognized by it's size very close to the file you downloaded)
-after the download is finished share would convert the "cachefile" into the file recognized by your os.
-even after converting, the cache file wouldn't be deleted (except if you are stepping out from your quota.. that would lead in data loss..)
-if you try to compare the file and it's "cachefile" in a hex editor (a .txt can make it easier to understand) you will notice
that there is two major differences:
#the characters used are not the same. (that's "encryption")
#there is more characters in the "cachefile" than in the file and assumming that those characters are stored firstly in the cache file that' a "header" . (mainly serving the programs to identify the file types)

so the main idea is: if one is able to get rid of those two differences one can retrieve manually the file from it's cache.

First: getting rid of the header imply detecting it, so knowing the proprety of the header that is :the header is stocked in a file firstly.
that would mean to us that the header is those characters in the "cachefile" that exceed from the file size limit(knowing that each character in a hex-editor = 1byte ).
steps:
calculate the difference between the filesize and the "cachefile"size. and if the "cachefile"size is exceeding the filesize by "27bytes" you can continue this procedure.
using a hex editor just select the 27 first characters from the "cachefile" and delete them.
save the modified "cachefile" as ex: "pol.bin" in your Sharea82 upload directory.

Secondly: getting rid of the "encryption" is more simple
theorically if you encrypt an already encrypted file the file would lose it's encryption.
steps:
refresh your upload direcory and type in query "pol.bin"
and push the link filter button.
click right on "pol.bin" and convert (convert to cache) the file.
like that the encryption is lost and we have our binary file
back but the HEADER IS BACK also.
just go in the cache directory and retrieve the converted file (just make sure that it's the new file because there would be two files of the same size (by the creation date you should be able to recognize it)).
hex-edit it and delete the first 27bytes and save the modification on a new file to what extension it should have..that's all :)

notes:this solution works but only if the difference between the cachefilesize and the file size is of 27bytes.
this problem is related to the guessed cachefile-header-size.
-if somoene can find a way to identify the header when it's larger than 27bytes that would be a perfect solution.
-if you have followed those steps and got some errors when trying to convert to cache the "pol.bin" then i can't help:(
because i didn't use a file with the name error problem.
-i am not sure about that but if you are using quota and downloading huge files.your cached files can lose data and then retrieving attempts would be impossible.
sorry for the delay.

Thank you very much for your help, unfortunately my cache file is ~30 mb bigger than the actual file so i guess im SOL.

I solved my problem!
Im not sure this is gonna work for everyone, but it worked for me and everyone who has this problem with long filenames should give it a try.

I did two (very simple) things, and i think the latter is the actual reason i succesfully converted the file.
First of all i set my files to download to the root of my drive (d:)
Secondly i changed my 'language for non-unicode programs' settings from Japanese to my original language (!).

After a reboot i was able to succesfully convert the file :) give it a try.

I am having some trouble downloading. Whenever I check the tasks tab it shows some files start download but then they phase out with a "transmission error" in the status bar.

I believe I have taken all the necessary set up steps to run it correctly (set port forwarding, use node lists, create upload and cache directories etc. etc.) but to no avail.

Now I know that I am actually downloading (one file reports 7 MB out of several hundred done...) but at a really slow rate somewhere around 4.5-8 kb/sec whereas my upload is usually a healthy 40 kb/sec. Do I have a problem or is this more of a matter of patience? :/

>>108
>>126

Two other people have asked this: What does 'Cache amount' mean?

When choosing one of multiple available copies of a particular file, is it better to choose the highest or lowest cache amount?

Is there a way to share my 'download' folder, as in WinMX?

That is, so that any files that may complete downloading while I'm away from the computer will be immediately available for download from me?

>>183
No, I believe that specifying the same folder as both your down and up folder creates a sharing violation and makes Share crash.

>>184
I know this, it's what I initially tried; as of A82, at least, Share doesn't allow choosing the same folder for download and upload.

What I meant was more like: Are there any plugins that will automatically move files from the download folder to the upload folder upon their completion and conversion?

If your goal is just to upload what you've downloaded, isn't that already being accomplished with cache?

Is it? That is, is this what cache does? I hadn't known.

>>187 Yes, whatever is in your cache folder gets uploaded when a node requests it. However if you have set up quota then when your diskspace gets low some of the already completed cache files might get deleted.

I've seen people have trouble using share through just one router, but does anyone have it working through two? IE modem->router->router->pc
I have it running so that it does not give me a port error any more. Searching seems to work, but it looks like it won't let me download/upload files...

Is share actually any useful to english-only speakers? I mean, is there a site for english-based nodes? The concept is to good for it to be left to a japanese-only(even with english locales) network.

>>192 there was something like that, don't know if there's still people doing it. set english in your cluster list and see what comes up.

hi im a newbie here.

Can anyone help me in the nodes? because all of theme are "Down"! I can't download anything!

help.

I am getting a

"Disconnected due to time check error"

message in my log... I read on a previous thread:

"it seems I have found what causes this error : there was an error in the date of the creation of the files ! So basically you have to verify the day on your computer and you have to copy/paste in a new directory the file to fix this"

And I have NO idea what this guy is talking about. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Where are some good hash sites for Share downloads?

after running for 2 or 3 hours I always get disconnected (by share not my internet connection) with error "disconnected due to port error" . how to solve this?

Realtek NIC is not recommended for Share and WiNny,
try 3com,Intel or good Lan card

It it normal for it to only connect to nodes for 20-30 seconds at a time? After around that time the node disconnects. If I'm lucky, it may stay connected for a minute or two. Also, what is considered average as far as the number of nodes you're connected to goes? I only seem to be able to connect to 4 or 5 at a time.

a couple of download nodes, a couple upload nodes, and a couple or more of search nodes.
what you described is quite normal for test, check and even search nodes, however download and upload nodes should stay longer than 20-30 sec.

Hello. I think that I had correctly installed Share A82 on my PC but I cannot download files.

The program connects to some nodes; I can search files and add into the download window; Search Up and Search Down have data transfer, but I have no Share Down data transfer.

What I do wrong ?

Thanks in advance.

Be patient. Share doesn't show the queue, but it's there.

One more thing is that if there file is rare then you won't get anything at all, check the Download tab to see if Share has found any piece for that file, try to download orange search results as they are available more than say white ones. Also check the Upload tab to see if you have Turbo on, which should be off unless you want to just upload without downloading. And finally like the poster above said be very patient, some files might take you months to finish if at all.

OK, This morning Share started to download some files. Now my router is on fire, it downloads with 130 Kb/sec average speed :)

But I've another question. One video has incomplete sources and I donwloaded an 85%. If I chose the option Convert Share only converts the first 60 seconds, and it is stucked on the first missing part. I found out a pluging called ForceFileConverter but I don't know how to use.

I have installed the pluging in Share, now there are 2 new options below Convert option, but the program still converts the first 60 seconds.

My router seems to be getting overloaded and crashing whenever I use Share for a while. When looking up this issue re: other P2P programs, people have suggested limiting the amount of connections the P2P program makes. Is there any way of doing this with Share A82?

You need to look for a different fix, as Share is unlike other P2P programs, where you can be connected to hundreds or even thousands of other clients at the same time. Share will make a connection only when it needs to download or upload (including searching), and briefly when it tests the nodes for connectivity (even then it does not test them all together but one by one). Typically the number of connections won't exceed around 15-20 at a time (which shouldn't cause any overloading issue).

Well, jeez. I don't see anyone else complaining about this issue, though, so maybe it's just my router? Does anyone else have this problem?

Does anyone know if Share will run on Windows 2003 server?

Other stuff like edonkey and bittorrent work ok. thanks.

Ok, this clock issue is very confusing. Whenever someone asked about it the response is usually "fix your clock" but thats not clear enough. Fix it how? Do you mean the time will be wrong in the clock or in Share? If in Share HOW do we fix it?

Also, I have no firewall or router but I cant connect to any nodes? I look at the sleeping nodes list and about 90% of them are sleeping(and greyed out), when I try to connect it only tests a handful of the nodes? Plz explain what I may be doing wrong...

Thanx =)

>>217
I noticed my system clock didn't match the time zone I'm in, so I corrected it, and Share started working like crazy. The speed was multiplied several times! No more "time check error"s!

I've checked my system clock and it was incorrect. But even though I fixed it and restarted Share it still gives me the time check error. I've tried reinstalling SHare but still no good. I notice there is no uninstall option with SHare, I just deleted the folder...is there anything else I should be deleting on my sytem?

Figure out why your system clock was incorrect in the first place. Try googling system clock too. but if deleting things is the answer try format c: /y

So... does this mean all is going well? I've been fiddling with Share for ages (recently came back to give it another try). I forwarded ports so I don't get disconnect errors anymore, but it seems the search results are dismal. I've tried searching for (C69) , it's also in my Clusters, but no results! I get results for アニメ but the list is quite long, and there appear to be troll results. Do people block otheres that do not share material by default? Is my node list the problem? Is there some kind of general guide I can use to get some kind of optimal result? I'll queue up random interesting files and see if any download in a week.

>>Do people block otheres that do not share material by default?

awkward english, I meant leechers

>>219 copy all files from the Cache folder somewhere else then delete them all and put back the copies there. When your clock went crazy the created or modified date on the files got changed into the wrong one, happened to me once.

>>221 That's a fine log, everything seems to be ok. As for search results a "C69" cluster might not help if other people don't use that cluster, also remember to click on search once in a while as you get connected to new nodes and they might have what you're looking for.

Ah, everything works well if I change the Cluster to C69 rather than (C69). Probably safer this way due to the english ( or Japanese （ brackets.
I finally got some files to download :) Excellent~

Yes that's how the clusters work, doesn't have to be the full cluster name but only a part of it will work, like say "DVD" will work for both "DVD" and "DVDISO".

Is there a thread in which we can discuss some interesting things for download via Share? Such as, for example, the names of interesting Japanese variety TV shows?

>>226
Start one

Does anyone know where the plugin is to convert an incomplete download past a missing part? I cannot find anything with the name "ForceFileConverter" as previously mentioned in this thread.

I found the plugin list here:

http://wiki.nextp2p.info/index.php?%A5%D7%A5%E9%A5%B0%A5%A4%A5%F3%A4%CE%BE%D2%B2%F0

and was able to search for it in share.

>>212
Simliar to 212, I installed it and have two new options below convert.

Convert
---(F)
---(V)

If I click on either one it will turn grey and not do anything. I thought that if I clicked on either one, then tried to convert it would go past the missing chunk, but it still does not.

Does anyone know what file types this plugin is supposed to work with? Or is it just for audio and video files?

My cache folder is >4gb now, but I have nothing in the \download\ folder. Is it OK to delete it, and does the cache consist of my previous downloads (I would assume)?

Yes, as well as all the things you're currently downloading (plus stuff from diffused dl/ul) so I would advise against manually deleting any cache. Just do a search on whatever you have downloaded successfully before, they should have an orange status bar (complete), right click on any you want to remove and choose "Delete from cache".

Hmmm... Dont think it works on win98 getting same message.

>>231
Thanks! In retrospect, I should've used Ctrl+F. I'll move what I've downloaded form the Upload folder, in that case, if Cache will re-upload it for me~

it been a while since last update. I wonder if the author still working on this or not

Hi community,

I'd like to know some decisive facts about the working process of share.

1. Does the cluster-keywords specify or widen the search process ? Example: I have 2 cluster-keywords for lossless stuff:

' ape ' and ' flac ' .
Does that mean that the program searches contacts to nodes
having ' ape ' OR ' flac ' as a cluster-keyboard, or
does it just searches for nodes having ' ape ' AND ' flac '
as cluster-keywords ?

2. Does it make sense to set a keyword like ' ape ' twice as
a cluster-keycord - one time written in occidental signs and
one time written in japanese signs - or is that redundant ?

3. Is there is a limit of queries one should not go over, if one
want to have as much results for each particular seach as possible
and does the program gets slower the more searches you have parallelly ???

This point is hard to describe. There are programs in with you
for instance, start so search for file A, a few seconds later
you start to search for file B then. What happens to file
A-search meanwhile ? It instantly stopped as soon as it wasn't
the actual search anymore, which, of course, sux.
Does share work the same ?

4.
In what language should I type in the quere-search, in order
to achieve the highest possible number of search results,
if the files I am searching for are NOT from asia ?

I've been having a problem just recently. I'll start Share up and everything will go just fine for about five or ten minutes. Then suddenly the node-connecting process will go absolutely BERSERK and try to test 15 Up connections at once (I'm probably using all sorts of wrong terminology here) and cause my ethernet card to go kaboom, and then I have to reset it. Anybody know what's causing this?

1. I'm pretty sure it's ape AND flac, just try a query, if you search for 2 words you get results containing both of them. From what I can tell most lossless albums are in ape format anyway, you can find flac releases but very few of them. If you need both then you need to use 2 clusters.

2. I've never seen any ape release with ape written using japanese characters.

3. Share will focus on the query that is being focused on, but doesn't mean it doesn't search for other queries at all. I personally have a lot of queries open and once in a while I go through all of them and most of the times I find new hits for many of them.

4. Try both - in English (or whatever language the file is originated from) and Japanese as well.

I am behind a university firewall.
Some p2p clients such as Ares or Bitcommet which support UDP NAT Punching are able to connect outside the network. Does Share (or winny) have this ability?

Don't think so, you need to be able to forward ports in order for Share or Winny to work.

i don't know if is only me, but why share don't show the uploads in upload tab? i saw only when i started share for the first time, after that, nothing show anymore, even in task bar i don't see any uploads :S

Anyone know why Share does this? I can't go to ANY websites in the 10 second dip that happens everytime Share is connected:

[URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/1719/weird0nd.gif[/IMG][/URL]

I'm new to Share so please excuse these stupid questions.

1) When I finish downloading a file, with the cache disappear from the cache folder? Or, do I need to manually do anything to delete the extra cache?
2) I know it's not recommended to delete cache. But, what if there's a lot? How do I get rid of them?
3) Can someone explain to me how the trigger works exactly? How is that different from searching normally?

Thanks!

>>243
1) You don't need to think about the cache, Share handles that itself.
2) Don't. Limit the cache folder max size instead, so it won't become a problem.
3) The trigger function looks for something really specific, and downloads it for you if it is able to find something.

>>241
The upload tab shows files you upload to the network, not cache transfers.

>>237
Doesn't the log say anything at all?

>>239
Maybe someone could figure out how to implent that "UDP NAT Punching" in a separate application for helping P2P programs running behind a firewall? If those clients can do, it must be possible, huh?

sorry for asking this but..where i can get a nodelist? does a winny nodelist work with share, and how do i add them from websites?

this is where you sign up to be a node for share, you can just copy and paste a few of those nodes into share.

http://node.nextp2p.info/

If you have something queued under the download tab, does having a trigger for the same hash make a difference?

>>251
That would be the same thing, Share is already looking for sources for that download.

For some reason Share is not playing ball today. Everytime I connect it disconnects itself. Had a look in the log and the following is happening:

06/03/26 23:39:14 Disconnected due to port error

With it being a port error I changed the port and opened up the new port in my router but to no avail. I've also tried adding in a new set of nodes but that's not working either. Is there anything else I can try or would a fresh install of Share cure the problem?

How do you delete completed files from the cache? I have downloaded a couple of big 4GB files and upon completion they were converted/copied to my download directory, however the file is still also in the cache.

I've tried searching for the file again (and it shows up orange and 'completed') and selecting the 'delete from cache' option however nothing happens, and I'm now running out of space since I have to have two copies of everything, one downloaded file and one in the cache. I read on the Uguu guide that you shouldn't delete files manually from cache as it can screw Share up. Any idea what to do?

try searching for the file again (and it shows up orange and 'completed'), select the file, and press ctrl+del

Move the completed file to an upload folder and press the 'quick check' button from the folders tab. Share should scan your upload directories and delete the cache automagicly.

>>258
I ended up deleting everything in my cache folder in the same situation as you.
>>261,259
Thanks

i keep getting "transmission error" for every connections tat made to me. any idea whats wrong with it?

I'm still getting this Disconnected due to port error problem. I've tried deleting my Share folder and downloading a new copy, rebooting my router doesn't help and changing ports doesn't help either. I've also tried the UDP version and that won't work either. Does this mean that Share is never going to work anymore for me :(

i get message "Warning version "EX1" new version connected, please upgrade to new version" . what this mean ?, is there new version of share?

>>266
Same here, just saw the neon green bar and got all "WHAT? Do I need it and what does it do? Will it change the engrish word add-on I applied to it?" Those are also my questions...anyone knows and can explain it to us?

>>268
The new version will include Japanese strings by default, and the old English localization may or may not work. serika will probably update her translation quickly, but it was released only hours ago after all. Give it a little time.

Does Share works on Linux or Mac ?
Do we need a spacial version ?

>>271
there is no share for linux or mac

>>272
Thanks :(

Lot of people have ports errors problems, with or without firewall/router...
This program need ameliorations .

what these error means?

Any idea what "ZoneID" is in EX2?

ZoneID

I think is a mapping of IP number -> Country ID

if ID of two client is the same priority of that node increase.
I think the author want "resolve" the problem of low download speed in Japan where upload speed is more high than download speed.

my download is really horrible since ex2 release. before that I been happy for using A82 for awhile . I downloading a file (latest) with only 200 mb (about 2000 cache), I left it whole day when I back and check the file only downloaded 20 mb . when I check the logs, it show downloaded is 900 mb. so what is going on here , previously is not like this. if things continue like this more people will abandon using share

Anyone know what "transmission error" means? Didn't use to have this error on A82, only started to happen when i upgraded to EX2

I could not add any nodes, I pasted the encrypted code and clicked add but nothing happend. So I just closed it. Then later I open Share and it tests my nodes (now there are many in the list) and only 1 or 2 becomes a Yellow Test of Orange Check. Then they all disconnect. How can I connect to nodes properly ?

>>280
After adding nodes, you're supposed to press connect.

>>280

it is normal that the nodes all are not connected. You connect yourself only to the nodes which you need.
If you does not have error messages in the log and if you can make research of files you do not have to be anxious .

Sorry if you have problems to understand me, i'am french and my english is awfull :/

Found a file which I want - at the end of the filename it says "Pass」「関係者用」". The rar asks for a password - I'm guessing the pass is the Japanese characters: 関係者用. But it doesn't work. Those characters translate in babelfish as "For authorized personnel" if that's any help.

Have tried the pass with the 「 at the start and end but still no go. Any ideas?

Have you got a nfo file in your rar file ?
Search a nfo file an try to open it with the "memo pad" of windows , maybe the pass is inside the nfo

_____________________________

Sorry if you have problems to understand me, i'am french and my english is awfull :/

No NFO, unfortunately. I think the file might actually be a fake....

hello, today I found that lots of "[似非キンタマ] Desktop Live!" screenshot hidden files appeared in upload folder. Does anyone know it? Will Share leak those screenshots to internet?

Thanks.

Looks like you're infected with a trojan.

I'm having problems with rar files. I downloaded a bunch of new things today, all with rar extensions. But winrar won't open them. Says the archives are corrupt or in an unknown format.

Are they damaged and need redownloading? Are they fakes? Are they some other format even though they end in .rar? Is winrar having problems with the japanese character set? I've tried check and recover and they still don't work.

rename or delete the japanese archive name caracters. winrar don't want's to extract some files with japanese caracters.

Hmmm. Tried that. Winrar still complains. I'll try and redownload one of them.

Winrar has problems with japanese characters and (falsely) responds with "corrupted file". If you're using Windows XP I would advise you to try "Microsoft AppLocale" to start winrar (or any other application) with emulated "jp" system local.

download:
ttp://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/tools/apploc.mspx

I use it for winrar, nero, winny, ...

I got such problem before on zip . when try open it it give error . i try see it using hex editor and found the filename & folder is extream long (over 255) , that why winzip or winrar unable to open . my conclusion is fake file (very well made)

the filename inside the zip is construct with char that not allow for filename or folder

Can I just use port 80 for Share? I am not sure if the fact that I set it to port 80 is stopping me from downloading anything.

no, port 80 reserve

I tried to open 1041 (just pick it randomly) one my router for Share and have followed the tutorial to set up the General Settings properly. I also turned my firewall. However, I am still not downloading anything. The Share searches fine (for both nodes and files) but for some reasons, it just never begins to download.

I observe the port activities and find something weird... Share did use port 1041 and some other ports (really high port number, port 3027 for example) when I just start Share. But all these port activites just disappear within minutes after I start the Share..... uhmm... Can anyone help me? What could go wrong here?

I am using Windows XP and Share A82 (Can't find EX2 anywhere and so I am trying to download EX2 through Share)...

Anyone know why when I Add to Download I am stuck at initializing and the file name doesn't even show up under the Downloads tab?

**tp://img393.imageshack.us/img393/3756/share7sq.jpg

Thats an image of what I am getting right now. I think I remember getting this when I used to use A82 but I can't seem to remember how to fix it. I have all the proper folders setup (upload, download, and cache) and tried changing port numbers around and the log shows up with no errors. Any help would be appreciated.

>>296 You can find the ex2 here : *ttp://www.ratiatum.com/logd593_Share.html#

Just replace the french local text with the english available here : *ttp://uguu.org/share/

>>297 try reinstall share.exe :/

I recently quit using Share for awhile and now am back to using it, however do to some drive problems I had to scrap the old setup I had of it.

I managed to recover the config files intact (ports, folders and all intact) and made a new setup for EX2, but even after its done doing its initial uploading (it always does for new setups and new cache making), downloads just don't seem to start... (---;)

not sure whats going on here, as some files i've triggered and had listed in downloads are right there priority 0 and order 1 and 3/3 available... but they don't start. I've removed "slow up/down" options from earlier as well so if any connections occurred at all the files should have progressed somewhat. But still at 0. Its quite strange since I was downloading on my previous setup quite well without problems.

I'm going to try and change ports if it still doesn't work tomorrow, but any help would be appreaciated.

Hello KJ,

i have had the same problem since yesterday, Share tries to connect to every node but it just says "test" and goes to the next one. Envetually Share will just stop trying to connect and just sit there after a minute or two.

This is really werid behavior, i have tried changing port connecting directly to the internet and even did a new installation. Nothing would work...looking for help ^^

A question: I read on wikipedia that the minimum up/down speed of Share is 50 kb/s.
What if my max connection upstream is 45 kb/s?

Will I be able to connect to other users (and nodes) or will Share recognize that I don't meet the minimum upload requirement and not connect me to other users at all?

>>303 no problem

>>301-302
Check the Log tab and tell us what it says.

Hello !

this is my log tab :

06/05/02 17:01:50 Disconnected
06/05/02 17:01:50 Disconnected due to time check error

It's as if the other nodes couldn't connect to me and so the check fails. Strange thing is that i deactivated my firewall and connected without my router and still, those clients can't seem to connect to my box..

The only thing that changed between the before and after is that i did an installation of windows Vista (the beta) on the same partition but i can't see how this could affect Share..

Hi again,

i have resolved my problem described earlier :

My system clock was 24H late :) stupid me
Rebooted after fixing the clock and voila, it's working again !

hmm... mine has no relation to the time check though...
Share just runs through all the 'test' nodes...

and it's wierd.
i managed to connect to every node on last weekend... O.o

>>308
But doesn't the Log tab say anything?

ok.. i have a problem, and it says disconnted due to time check error?

>>310
That's because your computer's clock is incorrect.

>>302

Hello,

i'm looking for some technical documentation about the inner working of Share. I am really interested in the diffuse or upload mechanism to see how a file is spreaded over the network. Unfortunately i don't understand japanese so if anyone could point me to some english/french documentation that would just be great, thanks ! :)

Anyone know if there is a way to rename a file before you convert them? I have a couple of files that are wayyy too long, and give the error message "Error opening output file".

>>314 impossible i think.
ensure that your file is not already partly in your download folder(due to a convert or a same hash file).
Maybe try create a new download folder.

Be carefull to files who have too long name, some contain viruses

Trying to use [PDK10] ClusterWordCollector 0.2 but get a bunch of ??????. Anyway to fix this?

>>316
Setting system locale to Japanese. Or fix the encoding and recompile if the plugin is open source.

I have A82 right now. I want to upgrade...but I am not quite sure how with the id ファイル倉庫NT56s0tGbv ? If I put it in the id field, what do I press? Nothing happened when I did...

I haven't used Share for a month or two so I don't know if that affects anything. (Also, I'm moving the program to another drive. I don't have to do anything with port forwarding and such right?)

Thanks for any help!

>>318
search for share and have ファイル倉庫NT56s0tGbv in the id field.

So does anybody know what's up with all the "transmission error"s in EX2?

I'm getting that Port Error...

I've tried following all the advice in the other threads and guides.

No Luck.

It keeps shutting me off after about a minute.

Can anyone think of anything else it might be? or a router issue I've overlooked?

>>321
So did you forward the port in your router?

yes, I've forwarded the port.

I've gone over it a thousand times and I have no clue what it's getting hung up on. It's really strange.

if the port wasn't open i wouldn't even get connect, right?

i'm at a loss for what to try next...

If there are problems with the port, Share will first try to connect to hosts, and then terminate the connections with the port error message afterwards. I guess something must be wrong with your router forwarding, unless it's Windows that's blocking.

How does a Hash differ from a Node?

Is a Hash a file location where as a Node is a computer location?

>>325
A hash is in computer terminology a "fingerprint" of some data, while a node in Share terminology is another computer running the Share software.

Nodes correspond to some other user's IP (crypted by Share).

You can use the hash as a kind of e2k link, either in the search tab, or as a trigger to prepare the download of the file. You'll just have to wait a longer time if your note connected to nodes which have such file in their cache.

1. Where can I find common cluster keywords? Or can I just make and add my own? Is it wise to just add my own?
2. Why does Share use clusters and not single words? Is it wise to use single words as clusters? Single words such as "windows", or "アニメ" (anime).
3. If I'm looking for a specific file, is it wise to define a whole cluster with it. Or should I rather use the search/query function to find specific files?
4. Can I use Kanji/Kana in cluster keywords?
5. What's the difference between clusters and search queries?

PS: I read uguu's "guide" and the wikipedia entry, but they don't really give me satisfying answers or answers at all.

Hmmm the guide should have given you a good idea of how clusters and queries work. Anyway

1. There used to be a list of common clusters, but I can't really recall where it was located at, but yes you can make your own clusters, but the way clusters work is like this: Share will connect to nodes with the same cluster(s) to search and download, thus if your cluster is unique it will be useless. Clusters help people seeking/sharing the same stuff get connected. Basically when you first start you have just a few nodes in your list (which can grow to include 10000 nodes), you then define your clusters, Share will connect to the nodes in your list and any of them sharing at least 1 same cluster will be kept, otherwise they will be removed. It works much better than it sounds though, as when contacting other nodes they will send you their own list of nodes having the same clusters as yours. Basically use whatever you're looking for as clusters (the categories, not something specific), such as music, anime, mp3 and so on.
2. What do you mean? You can use single words as clusters of course, and you can have up to 5 clusters, that's all.
3. No it's not wise, you should not define the file as a cluster, rather use a cluster defining the type of the file, such as music, manga, anime, etc. And of course for finding a specific file use query, note that sometimes it's better to search for a part of the filename only for better results.
4. Yes.
5. I think by now you should understand the difference between the two: clusters are for identifying nodes so they can get connected if they have the same one(s), search queries are for searching whatever the nodes are sharing.

i am getting the port error too and get disconnected every 32 seconds

it shouldnt be a setup problem since it was working fine last night, although i dont really get the whole port forwarding stuff. is it ok to pick a random port number between 49152–65535 ?

ok this is reallly a noob question, i couldnt figure out what ip address to forward the port to so i used the one i found in ipconfig, it works but i heard that the ip address changes everytime i turn on my comp (?)

so whats all that deal about static address and such ?

>>329
You know what, you really helped me! Thanks for your detailed answers! =)

>>330
You're setting it to one port number, right? (I have no idea what else you could be attempting.) If that's so, it should be okay. Maybe your local IP changed?

>>331
It would be very inconvinient if the address changed every time you rebooted your PC. Seems unlikely, but not impossible. However, most routers do let you keep the same IP for quite a while. If you find some option to bind an IP to a specific MAC address, then you can make it static.

I'm getting constant connection errors, anyone know why? I'm connecting to Share fine. Getting a global ip. But the connection attempts and errors seem to have the same number. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? The port seems fine.

>>334
What does the log tab say?

i aam using share ex2 and having trouble with conneting. i keepon getting test and search but cant get share on it. i can configure my router like port fowarding but its not working.
it said something about a global ip and got some different address like 68.100.96.190 which i dont know wat it is.
can aybody help me

Hm..i'm getting the "output file" error too, but i'm getting it even with files with less than 255 chars, what am i doing wrong?

>>336 if you see search and test nodes then all is fine, try to search for something to see if it really works

>>337 could it be the file is bigger than 4gb? if it is then most likely your hdd is fat32 and you'll need to convert it to ntfs (if you're using windows xp that is)

nope, my hd is NTFS and the file was the zip for share ex2

>>340 Check to make sure you have enough free space on the drive and check your log for error messages.

fixed the error, but when trying open some files with winzip i get that the file is not a valid archive, with winrar says that it's in an unknown format.

i keep getting problems and nothing i do seems to be working. the problem is connecting to a port - or staying connected.

says to me each time:

Connected

each port i try and restart doesn't make a difference

You need to forward the port (the one you choose for Share) on the router, otherwise it won't work.

did some good old fasioned googling and managed to forward the port after several attempts thanks

Has anyone come accoss this?

Share works fine, but if I close share and re-open it, a large number of downloads will come up red INIT-FAILED.

I thought it was bacasue I had too many files in the dl q, but it happens when I only have about 70 files. (most of them have been there for ages and are not likely to download) When this happens, the log shows "deleting unused cache file" for each of the init-failed files.

Has anyone seen this happen? Like I said, share works perfectly for days and weeks, and im fine as long as I dont close share.

OK.

I Have problem.
My archives dont down in my computer. Always i need 5 or 6 megabytes for down but never down in my computer

Are you know the cause?

Sorry for my expression

just curious what is the best port range to use share. I want the anwser telling me the beginning port and the end.I cant do anything if people tell me choose any range.

OBer,
It may be that the files you are downloading are rare and no one has the complete file, thus it will never finish downloading. Try to download a file that is orange, and if you can download all of it, then you will know that the problem is not your pc

Hi folks, bit of a problem

Recently jumped to EX2 from A82, done the usual routine and loaded up a new noad list. However, I'm unable to connect to any nodes; info tab for connection errors just keeps rising, no acknowledge counts whatsoever. Global IP does not contain any numbers, if its any use.

Using ports 10500, forwarded from router...no real problems in log tab. Any help will be appreciated!

i'm having trouble with my share. Everytime i open it, it freezes after few seconds. My task bar says there isnt any cpu usage in the processes section. I also see

i get "transmission error" under the status column in the tasks tab. any clue as to what is the problem and how i could solve it?

i downloaded a file that has a very long filename. i canr rename the file not can i use it. any clues to how to get this working?

thx

gackt

Do the transmission errors happen with everything, or everyone, you try to download from? If they only happen once in a while, or like one person out of ten, then it's normal. After upgrading to EX2, I notice a lot more of them than before. And about your second question, I have no idea. Why is it that you can't rename it?

>>354
If you still haven't done it, uncheck "Disconnect slow uploads" and "Disconnect slow downloads" under Settings -> General settings ->Network, that kind of error will be less frequent.

Can anyone explain why it got "Access violation" error?I have check on the readme file it say maybe memory problem,but i have tested my ram and it got no problem,any idea guys?

>>353
Looks like a problem with the nodedb to me, try deleting it and let Share create a new one.

I'm having the "Disconnected due to port error" and I'm unable to fix it. I've tried several (routed) ports that lead straight to my machine. Every other program I have running reports no problem.

For the record, portrange 4000-5000 leads straight to my box(port range 4000-5000) it's a 1on1 map. I've tried several ports in that range, I've tried several ports outside that range and routing those through to my box on the router. No luck however.

Netstat shows me that a lot of clients appear to be on TIME_WAIT while I'm connecting to them, or they are waiting to me.

Well, i installed Share and got most of it working, forwarded my ports, made sure the time was right, set folders. I even connected a began to download a file then i got a:

06/07/28 01:40:05 Disconnected due to time check error

I checked my time again and it was only 12 seconds off. I can connect sometimes for five minutes, then i get the same error, or sometimes only connect for 15 seconds. Is the 12 second difference the problem or somehting else? I asked a friend and he does not know either. Can you help me? if you need more info just say so. thanks

That indeed is strange, the only thing I can think of is to make sure that the time zone you have set is correct for your region and the date is correct. I wouldn't imagine 12 seconds would affect anything, but you never know ?_?

hi.. i tried to convert one of my incomplete files.. and then turns out that after i convert it.. i cannot download the rest of the file anymore.. someone help??

hi, i have problem with share, it's working, i can download and share up but after a while stop with "Disconnected due to port error". It's working sometime for 30min sometime 4-5h.
I searched for connect plugin but not found :)
Any idea?

Don't use Share if ur too stupid!! Leechers

The time check error usually occurs when you have the wrong time set in Windows. Make sure the time/date/region is correct for your area. 377>> If you have a router, then you need to correctly forward the port you are using for Share. If you don't have a router, then the port you are using for Share (the one you gave it, under "settings") is being blocked by a firewall or your ISP, so you need to change it or configure your firewall to allow it

to sycronize your time
double click on your time (bottom right conner) click on internet time tab, click on update button

anyone know how to make UDP version of share work . I see the logs show number connecttion attempt and fail about the same . there's no error in the logs and I not using firewall or router and the searching not look working . do i miss some setting ? or is it my connection not suitale for UDP (using DSL)

sorry miss type :
the node searching is working

Is there a way to reshare a file uploaded by a third-party trip, but obtained through other means (HTTP...)? Of course, I want the file to be shared with the original trip, not mine

Every time I try to start share.exe I get this error message
"Runtime error 0 at 0049B23D". Has anyone come across this before?

A few questions:

How do I increase "Search Up"? (Search Upload) My "Search Down" (Search Download) is always at 4 and Upload at 1, I want to balance it in favor of upload.

How do I clear completed downloads from the search lists? (Ie. Even if I delete the file from the download folder, when I search for the same file in Share it says it is already completed still.)

How do I properly clear my cache? I moved my completed download files to Upload folder and ran quickcheck, but didn't clear.

Thanks.

@Anonymous(bin+cue).zip (381/385): Make sure there's no firewall on your computer or your router, and check to be sure your router is p2p-friendly. Some Linksys routers, for example, need a firmware change to do p2ps. Also, be sure your connection goes at 50 kB/s minimum. The completed downloads are still listed as completed because they're still in your cache. To clear a file from your cache, right click it and choose the option "キャッシュ削除". I don't recommend it though. You'll get more download opportunities if your cache is large.

@RskTwLT◆aAFYIfrilU (383): I think you need to use your own trip.

@blargh (384): I've never seen that message before. Try re-downloading the exe file; maybe it's corrupt.

>>azuki

Anonymous 385 here,
My upload is set at 65KB, and port set at 49152. Is the Search Up/Down ration 1 to 4 the best I can do? My share looks up about 4-5 nodes at best.

What you say about the cache is interesting though. I thought the files I upload are the ones that are in the upload folder? I assume that they are all in my cache, does that mean it is safe for me to move those files in the upload folder away?

Thanks.

>>384
I had the exact same error when I first tried to run Share. It seems to have something to do with Windows kernel. Simply rebooting fixed the issue for me.

@385/387: I don't know what you can do about the ratio. The cache stores all the files you have downloaded, but not necessarily all the files you are uploading. It keeps the files in there for a long time, though I think it may eventually delete them. There's no reason why you need to upload duplicate copies of files, so it's fine if you move them away.

whats up with the ridiculously long file names in Share? There about 500 characters too long for windows and i get errors when i try to open or delete them. Is this stuff spam or what?

they most contain malware, exploiting the way triggers work

@390: Why would you download a file if you don't know what it is anyway? You're weird...

The file names are pretty simple to understand... the bad files that 391 is talking about are only the ones where the file names don't make sense... for example, they simultaneously label the file as a video game, an anime episode, a comic book, an album by SMAP, and list the names of 10 porn stars in the file name.

I have 8 downloads going and most of them are only a few megabytes from finishing but they never seem to finish. Even when my download speed is above 10kb/s, the files don't seem to get any closer to complete. Is something wrong with my Share? All the current file sizes just seem to stay the same with no progress at all.

I'm sure this has been asked a million+ times, but after adding an upload, download, and Queue folder, I still can't get anything to come up in Share when I search? I do believe I've used the right wording, so it must be comething else. Can anyone help me?

@Thomas: Did you add nodes? Check to be sure they are connecting alright; if they aren't, you may have a firewall problem. Also, be sure you really are using the right wording; often even when Japanese name things in English, they write it in katakana instead of romaji. If that doesn't help, then maybe you are just searching for something that nobody has. Try doing a very general search as a test, like コミック, お笑い, アニメ or even "avi".

@kat: I don't think there's anything wrong with your Share. If you look in the downloads tab, probably Share is not finding sources for the rest of the files and that's why they do not finish.

I feel silly for asking a followup question that's second nature to you guys, but how do you add nodes, and are there specific ones I should be adding if I'm looking for anime and what not?

Nevermind. I went back to the first rule of Newbdom: If you don't know something, read the guide.

Yet again a new question: Share has been telling me I'm downloading at various speeds for a while now, but when I look at the download screen, it still shows the same number from like 2 hours ago. Is there a way to reload or something? Also, on an unrelated note, is there a place to view incomplete files, like the "Incomplete" folder on my directory? I looked there, but I can't find the fragments of the episode. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is no "incomplete" folder. There is a cache folder though. In share, under the queries tab, you can see what files are incomplete. The blue ones. If you right click on the file you want to see and click convert, the incomplete file should end up in your download folder.

Will converting an incomplete file ruin the chances of finishing the downloads?

No, it won't. Share will keep the file in you cache until it has finished downloading and been sucessfully converted, unless you delete it manually.

Alright, I've noticed now with some help from a friend, that my downloads aren't going from the download tab to the tasks tab. Any reason for this?

The downloads are only in the task tab while they are downloading. If they are inactive, you won't see them there.

Why wont they get inactive? THey stay like that for hours at a time. I understand the concept of patience, but damn.

What is the difference between yellow, teal, green, white, and red names when searching for downloads? And the difference between DB and Complete under status?

Yellow = popular file
Blue = a file you're downloading already
Red = a fake file
Green = ? (I don't think I've seen green before...)

Complete files are files that you finished downloading that are still in your cache. DB files are files that you have hashed, but that are no longer in your cache or in your upload folder.

not yellow but orange, red means fake, but sometimes they're not really fake, don't think there's teal and green, at least i have not seen any in a few years of using share

Guys...can anyone explain to me why the downloads -NEVER- go to the task tab, no matter if I leave them there for over a day. Even Capeta #50, with like 10K+ clusters didn't do anything. Someone, anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

What do you mean by 10K+ clusters?
Anyway the only thing I could think of is that the stuff in your download list is extremely rare, have you tried any file that is orange in the queries?

I'm sorry, I mean when the Cache is at 10K+ (10,000+), nothing will download. And I only download popular files as of lately, since the white ones wont ever download, but now it seems like anything will.

http://xs106.xs.to/xs106/06376/share.png

Everything seems to be working fine, even uploading, but there's one problem. It doesn't download, at all. Even after about a full day of waiting. Log doesn't give anything, and I've queued everything and its mom.

sounds like you didn't setup a cache folder. btw, what's a queue folder?

>>411
That's currently happening to me as well. I wonder if something's wrong with the network. :/

It's still working fine for me so it's definitely not anything wrong with the network.
The only thing I could think of now is that you guys might have set up the disk quota, and thus there's no space for new downloads, try freeing up some space or removing some of the completed cache files.

Running out of quota doesn't stop the downloads. Share will simply go over quota until it finishes some files that it can then delete from the cache to get below quota again.

I was not talking about the cleaning quota in the settings, there's another quota option where you add a download/cache folder.

I've set it up, and there is space..

Any other suggestions, or possible voodoo remedies :/

>>417
I'm still having this problem, I think... I might try to install Share again soon, or even format the computer if that's what it'll take to get the app running again. It's my sole reason to keep it running, anyway.

I installed a clean EX2 now, and it works again! Something must've gone wrong over time with the other one.

>>384
Have you got a request to reboot system before that error?
I could solve this problem after doing that.

i installed share_ex2, i can see the searched files but cant download it... how can i download the searched file?

i installed share_ex2, i can see the searched files but cant download it... how can i download the searched file?

what numbers do you put in numbers for port and IP?

Does anyone know why files in the Share database always have a cache amount of 0. I'm asking because I usually make triggers with the option "add to DB only" selected so that i don't start auto downloading the wrong file, but the drawback is that you can't see the cache amout this way.

>>424
If the files you're looking at are actually downloaded or being downloaded, then you should be able to see orange (for fully complete) or blue (for partially complete). Do you have 'local' and 'complete' buttons pressed under the Queries tab?

This is actually before i've started downloading anything. Under the Queries tab i have 'Remote' and 'DB' and the files with DB always have a cache amount of 0. This makes it difficult choosing which file to download when you don't know the cache amount.

It is because those are the files that you have already downloaded and afterwards removed the cache of.

Please, someone can answer these questions ?

Really works the ForcedFileConverter plugin?
If it doesn't work, why there are 5 versions?

The ForcedFileConverter plugin does work but it doesn't seem to do anything different from the built in plugin that comes with Share. If you want to skip over missing blocks then use the CacheDumpEx plugin.

I'm having the same problem. My locale is set to Japan, but it still doesn't work. Lame.

I saw version 1.0 pop out from node list. anyone know what is this?

I'm having trouble finding things like anime for download. For instance, entering the Japanese title for Sakura Taisen turns up no searches. Why is this?

first of all make sure you have proper clusters on, secondly not everything can be found, especially if something is old, and thirdly search results depend on the nodes you're connected to, tough luck if they don't have what you're looking for

I searched for Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori (the new second season that's airing in Japan now). But it only came up one one raw of episode 3. That's it. :[ Isn't that a big strange? Where else can I get more nodes?

Searching in share is a slooow process because you can only connect to so many nodes at a given time. It may take days before you start getting good results, and in most cases you probably want to use triggers instead.

I using trigger to make it faster sources.

• create trigger
• add keyword (must be jp)
• make sure enable & add to db only is tick

u should also create query with same key word. this way and thing found by trigger will be show on query

Thanks. I find it weird though where I could find hundreds of raws for the anime My-Otome. o_O And that's even older than the current Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori.

is there a way to set share to work through a proxy, I can bypass the unviersites firewall through a proxy program.

I'm having the same problem. I tried doing a fresh install of EX2, as suggested in 419, but that didn't help. Everything seems to be working normally except that nothing will download.

Which version is more popular? The TCP or UDP?

I've been looking around for a while and I havent found any comparision to the two.

i couldn't get UDP version to work.

This was driving me crazy and the behavior of Share was somewhat bizarre. Besides not downloading, it would show bogus amount of available data for files. The order (queue) number was incorrect as well; it would have matching numbers for many files and deincrement simultaneously with the others. Eventually the number would reach 1, and then just sit there doing nothing. Rarely, it would show that I had downloaded some scant amount of a file, but upon later restarting Share, it would report "init failed" for that file.

I fixed the problem by assigning a very high port number. Everything works correctly now.

share finished downloading a file when I was asleep.
under 'tasks' however I see three lines... (name/no. is example)

xxx.iso - Convert to file - 12345/12345 - Success
xxx.iso - Convert to file - 10132/12345 - data block corrupt
xxx.iso - Check for errors - 12345/12345 - data block corrupt

I see the converted file in my downloads folder though, but how does the converting work? As in, did it manage to convert on the second try???

yes, hence the success

here is my problem, i started share ex and done some search found what i want and started the download process, all is cool, within the status bar all the parts are found (46/46), the order column shows numbers decrementally changing.
but after rebooting the pc and my download is stuck at where i left it and there is no more numbers activity in the order column and no more parts found (0/46) in the status bar.
what happened ?

you lost contact with the node(s) containing the parts, just let it run for a while and you'll probably get it if the file is not a rare one

What does the "Order" column mean??

Also, whenever I add a new upload folder, I immedeately connect t oa "diffuse" node and it seems to upload all my files in said folder to....somewhere?
Exactly what is this behaviour and can someone explain this "diffuse" thing?
I'm sorry if I missed this being explained anywhere.

>>448 You idiot!! Your only suppose to put upload folders when you have NEW content you want to add to the network. So ofcourse it tries to upload it since it want it spread to the network.. fuck u fucking newb

Just dont delete your cache and it will auto share.. jesus christ

Gee thanks for helping a new user out.
I had already figured out not to add old content.
The QUESTION I have this THIS:
WHY does diffusing occur and WHERE does the data go TO?
One would expect a "regular" p2p program to keep the file on your machine and only share the hashes on th network.

Obviously, something else is happening. What exactly?

>>450 Just stop using share when ure so goddam stupid

I been using share ex2 for about a week with no problems at all, then today all i get is "disconnected due to port error" i've tried changings ports, turning off firewalls ect ect and i still get the error, it varies from time to time, sometimes it cuts off straight away sometimes it can go for 20 seconds.

any ideas?

>>450 sorry i was a little grumpy before

It just uploads it to different parts of the network.. it goes to many people and you also download diffuse sometimes! Maybe u don't notice it but sometimes if you don't have a download in the queue it will still say downloading files 1 .. that means ure doing diffuse downloading

Ofcourse if youre a leecher u didn't notice this because u always have something in your download queue and never upload.. but i hope ure not a leecher

>>452
Whenever I've had that happen it's because the router changed my internal ip. Set your port, forward the right port to the right ip. Should be fine.

can anyone tell me what port number must i type in network options?

Any port that is not in used by the system and that's been forwarded, to be safe choose something from the 30000+ range

Yeah I get it now. It seems to work similarly to Freenet.
Once you upload something, it gets divided into blocks and spread onto the network. So I guess that the blocks go into the caches of other users. Makes sense.
I'm uploading various sorts of music, I'm not a typical leecher =)

I'm pretty sure I got it, but I thought I better make sure. What does the sleep mean on the nodes? That they're offline, or what? Because I got some, but they all say sleep and are either red, white, gray, etc. Do I need some different nodes or what? Sorry if this has already been asked, but some of this stuff can be confusing.

Red ones are offline, white ones have been tested and are online, but you're not connected to them currently, gray ones have not simply been tested for connectivity.

Why am I getting upload blocks on share ex2? I have added a DVDISO to my upload folder and I am seeing 7000+ upload block count.

My files are downloading but I can't get them to convert. Whenever I try to I get a message saying "error opening out." Any ideas?

Add the download folder.

Im getting "Out of Memory" error...
But either my proc or ram isnt occupied...

I get the files converted no problem but not one of the zip files I have been downloading will open. They say they are empty or corrupt. Any ideas?

Nevermind I figured it out. I had to rename the files to English words.

I can't seem to download. It was downloading fine before but suddenly when I try to "add to download" an item it simply does nothing..

How can i download this using share, i really cant understand this...

[アニメ] = [ Animation ]
学園アリス 第 = school Alice
21話= 21st story
目指せ☆優等生賞 = aim * honor-student prize

That would be the rough translation the rest of the file name is showing that it is a video file in .mkv format using Xvid codecs.

You download it the same as any other file if it shows up in your search double click on it.

...
s/he did not ask what it was, s/he asked how to download it.
you don't need to search for the file, you have all the information needed there, what you need to do now is to create a trigger:
keyword [アニメ] 学園アリス 第21話 「目指せ☆優等生賞」 [VGA XviD AAC].mkv
ID 774AWRlnRo
hash 576c665e548b53f49b8663e82123f6c8

Ok, i tried downloading that to share and i got a "bad hash" error. does that mean that only WinNY can download the file or did i do something wrong? Thanks in advance :)

Yeah looks like that's actually a WinNY hash, still it might be available on Share, just add the trigger without the hash and ID and you might luck out.

Question, is there anyway I can check what files I'm exactly uploading? When I check my upload tab nothing shows up, yet at many times my upload speed is maxed out hovering over 40-50k at times.

If it's a diffused upload (this you can check in the Nodes tab) then no unless there's a plugin that can do that and I'm not aware of it. The fact that you don't know what it is also help in keeping everything as anonymous as possible.
Also keep in mind that your upload stream is not used for uploading contents only, it's used for queries as well as for sharing nodes information as well.

There is a plugin called ShareCacheList. If it's a diffused upload then it will end up there and the plugin will list it.

I have a 1.5gb file that is missing 3 mbs in the middle and won't finish. When I convert, I only get the first half. Is there a way to get the first and second half, skipping the middle?

Ok, I want to at least help contribute in the share network. Am I doing it right?

• Put downloaded files into designated upload folder.
• Files listed in Share show up with status as LINK (Pink box)
• Right click, and then ADD TO UPLOAD.
• Shows up in upload folder, text for the files is now BLUE.
• User Catalog goes up.

However the second I do these my Upload Block counter goes up. What'd I do wrong?

don't do that unless it's some new material. ie don't put stuff you download off of share into your designated upload folder. you're sharing anyway by leaving it in cache.

>>479
So I should only do that to files I didn't directly got from Share?

Are you implying that the downloaded files are still in the cache? No wonder mine's grown to 1.15 gigs already... I'm assuming that the files downloaded can be safely moved away from the upload folder.

Also, is there a karma-type of system where your ratio of upload/download is checked and you gain higher priority over others depending on the difference?

Some of my files randomly have errors now, saying "init failed" under status. The filename, ID, or size won't show up under those now. If I right click, and push create cache, it fixes it but starts over from 0 file size. For the ones I haven't touched, how do I fix this?

>>481
Sounds like you accidentally deleted the cache for a file you were still downloading. Without the cache you have to restart the download from the beginning.

How do I prevent "init failed" when I try to upload something to another requesting user?

hm...downloaded a dud file(trying to not get dupes in share is hard X|), but when trying to delete/rename the directory that file created, it says that the directory's in use by another program...HALP.

>>484
Disregard this post, i fixed the problem, but for some reason i can't delete it =/(i get a lot of "page errors" on IE for some strange reason)

If you have a file queued for upload, Share will try to distribute it over the network as diffuse uploads. This is mainly useful for getting new files out.

If you place a file in an upload directory, Share automatically deletes it from the cache. This seems to me a better solution than keeping two copies of the data around like >>479 suggests.

I'm getting transmission error a lot, anyway to stop it?

transmission errors are normal. if you want, check to be sure that your computer's firewall and your router's firewall is not blocking winny/share, and that your router is not a shitty old one that may be having trouble with the transfers. if your router is a linksys, check the forums at utorrent.com for a solution.

you could also go into share's settings and be sure that it is not set to disconnect from slow peers.

I installed Share version EX2 here on my computer. I have a router, although I correctly fowarded the port Share is using. I added a cache, upload and download folder too. I also added cluster words, so none of the above seems to be the cause.

My problem still persists though. I can't download any files. I can search and add them file to download, but when I open the Download Tab, I see a box checked, but a blank line corresponding to the file I just added.

I have clusters set up, and settings are all right. My cable connection goes directly from the modem to my computer so I dont think I need to port forward anything, and when I test the ports they say they're open. But when I try to connect to any of the nodes, I always get the "Test" and never connect to the nodes. What am I missing?

If your ports are open and Share is set up as you say, I expect it is working correctly.

I would recommend you have at least a 50 kB/s connection (up and down) to run share. You can test your speed here: http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

Share, like Winny, prioritizes users based on how much they upload. If people are not downloading from you, there are a couple things you can do:
1. Download a popular file from the network, and leave it in your cache folder to upload.
2. Rename the files in your upload folder so that they will come up in the search results for relevant Japanese keywords. For example, if you are sharing "[Ani-Jiyuu]​_Detective​_Conan​_-​_401​_[606359E2].​avi" rename it to "[Ani-Jiyuu]​_Detective​_Conan​_-​_401​_[606359E2] 名探偵コナン 第401話 (英語字幕).​avi"

Really? I cap my share at 5KB/s and I still manage to download files fast. Did you pull that out your ass?

when you were filling your shit out, it asked for up and down conxn speeds. you had to put at least 50, doesn't mean that's what you will really up at.

btw do you have a software firewall?

Share and Winny both prioritize users by how much they upload and how fast their connection is. I have more experience with Winny than Share, but since Share is based on Winny I expect it works similarly. You can still get downloads when your up is capped to 5 kB/s, but the program won't work as nicely... you don't get download slots as often and you don't connect to nodes as often.

There's a lot of sites out there that explain how Winny and Share work, if you want more details, I'd do a Google search.

>>493
Don't firewall Share. You can lie about your connection speed, but it won't help you much.

>>492 Fuck you idiot, i hope japanese soon ban all non japanese because of faggots like you :D

typically i don't find uploading has much of a bearing on how fast i download. if something is popular, it's not uncommon for me to get it without uploading at all. on the other hand i've left it on for days where all i do is upload and get nothing. this was on the less popular files. mind you i don't cap, but i'm limited by what the isp gives me.

My firewall is turned off. I've set my upload cap to 80kbps, and I have a 10mbit line. I'm still not connecting to any of the nodes.

Can someone teach me how to view the files I am uploading and delete files from my cache? I can view the files I am downloading in "Tasks", but I can't find where to view the files I am uploading. And any idea why I have a dl spd when not dling anything?

I am using Share btw...

>>499
If you want to view the files you are uploading and they are in your upload folder, click on the "upload" tab and sort by "block". If the files are in your cache, you cannot watch them upload. To delete files in your cache, set the quota for your cache folder lower. Or, do a search for the file you want to delete from the cache, right-click on it, and select "cache delete".

>>498
If you have a 10Mbit line, I expect you are at a university or corporation. Perhaps they are firewalling your line to prevent p2p usage. If I'm wrong and you're at home, check your router to be sure it isn't a Linksys.

Hmm...my "delete from cache" button seems unresponsive. I can only delete it when I press Clt-Del. Any idea why?

I have another error now, "Acess Violation at address 0050BB31 in module Share.exe. Read of Address 04C01000" What does it mean?

Lately, I seem to be having problems staying connected to any particular node long enough for a download to start. (When I check the node statuses in the Node tab, I'm only getting 'Check' and 'Test' types, instead of 'Search' or the download type)

Does anyone happen to know why this is happening?

>>505
This is a shot in the dark for me (I've never had that problem on Share, only on Winny), but I think there's either a firewall on your connection or there is something wrong with your router. Have you recently changed ISPs, routers, or firewall settings?

Well.. no actually. AFAIK, nothing's been changed since the time that Share was working. I don't have a router and I've tried it with the firewall both on and off, with no visible difference.

Has Share changed versions or something recently? (According to the Help->About function, my version of share is just the plain, vanilla Ver 1.0 EX2)

Hrm.. could it be because I'm using the nodes.txt off http://node.nextp2p.info/? The node list on that site seems to have been left blank the last few days..

It doesn't matter what node list you originally used. As long as Share knows of at least one working node, it can download information about other nodes when it feels like it.

Keep your firewall off to run Share, or open a port for it. It won't work if it's firewalled.

>> 508 S_D

yes, http://node.nextp2p.info/ has been down for days...
It's one of the most popular node database and I have a few downloads that lost track of the seeders due to this problem...
Your Share is not receiving any updated nodes, that's why it's "checking" & "testing" ..searching through the old nodes to find live ones..try these node databases, hopefully you can at least connect to some nodes

"Whenever I try to I get a message saying "error opening out." Any ideas?"
you have to set your upload/download/cache folder, check if that download folder still exists..
it does occassionally happen to me that the download share folder gets deleted

does anyone here knows japanese?
http://node.nextp2p.info/
I wonder what's happening with their node database, it's not registering any nodes. This is a big problem because most people rely on this database for new nodes and things I've been downloading for days with plenty of seeders all of a sudden is no longer connected

>>512
what does the website being down have to do with losing seeders? Once your connected your connected. Having an updated node list won't change anything.

My nodes keeps disconnecting automatically after connecting for awhile, how do I solve this.

Having an updated node will get source faster.

>> 513

There is a reason that an updated node database exists. Nodes are encrypted IPs of other users. It's a p2p system.
Users are connected through each other and not to a central server. Normally, you can still get connected when your nodes are outdated, as long as somebody on your outdated list has a static IP. But when a major node database is down and almost everyone don't get an updated list...that's when an outdated list won't work well....
anyway, the database is back up today and I'm connected to my sources again.

>> 514

I don't understand what you mean. Nodes (other share users) are supposed to get disconnected. You connect to nodes to get search results/more nodes and hopefully the file you wanted. If that user doesn't have the file you want, your share client disconnects from him and move on to another user. You only stay connected to that node and download from him if he has the file you're looking for.

>> 513

the sum it all up, I'm connected to my cluster of share users on my node list and my seeders are connected to their own cluster...but nobody from either cluster intersect, so my share can't find my way to the seeder

people just go download the NodeRefresh plugin..it will automatically update your node list from a number of sources..

For what you said to make any sense YOU would have had to not be online for a long time. I've gone for months without updating the nodelist, but inevitably someone will still be active on that list, when you connect to that person you get updated nodes from them. Is this not correct?

Then what does it matter whether or not you get an updated list from the site? There are aways some people connected to the network and their lists will be up to date.

to make it simple to understand the different.
example:
there's range IP(1-10) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
as u know not all ip is in used maybe the IP that use share is IP 10 only.
so if u not using updated nodes list , share will start searching from IP 1 until 10 (this process may take hours)
while using updated not list , share start search from IP 10 .
as u see this only effect if u not using share for few days. if u using all the time , u no need to update list since your list already up to date by it self.

As I said, normally you can be offline for days and your list will still be usable. If you have 100 nodes on your list, probably 2 have static IP and they can still provide you with the updated list. But in this case, when the database is DOWN. The 2 people with the static IP doesn't get an updated list neither, so even if you connect to them, you won't get any new nodes.

share doesn't search through random IP ranges...IPs has 256 x 256 x 256 x 256 possibilities x share is connected on 1 out of thousands of port on your computer. Share only relies on the small list of nodes saved. I set my node limit to 10000, so I will have 10,000 nodes to go through...if you set your node limit to 100, if those 100 are outdated, that's it...

anyway to make download from top(first byte) first

hello, i've been downloading this .iso file for a couple days now, it was downloading perfectly fine until it reached 96.3% mark, even though the task tab says im downloading the file, the size doesn't seem to change at all. I also tried converting the file to see what happens, but it gives me "data block corrupted". I assume this is probably caused by the incomplete file? anyways, could anyone please help me out?

Is there anyway to check the IP/Country/etc. of a user I'm downloading from or uploading to?

>>525

no...that's the whole purpose of nodes! encrypting IP addresses so you cannot figure it out

>>525
You can see the IP addresses of the nodes you have recently and are currently connecting to by doing a netstat while running share. Also google geolocation.

But I still find it difficult to pinpoint specifically what is being uploaded/downloaded and by which specifically IP.

I have pending downloads but my tasks window is blank? Meaning I don't download anything at all. How do I solve this?

>>528
This is usually solved by waiting.

Ok,basically means there are no peers or something right? Thanks anyway!

Has anyone tried running Share on Windows Vista? Does it work for you so far?

What happened with downloads...
The files was ORANGE(means Full), i started downloading it, and it's now gray(after download about 20%), that meaning there's missing blocks, why??? ;(

Yep the way share works is quite lame IMO. I have about 70 incomplete downloads that haven't been able to finish for over 3 months now and yet some of them have like 2mb left.

hi there everyone, i've read almost all the posts here, and I still cant find a solution to my problem. I've been using share for more than a year and I dot know why the last time I opened it, all my download files never initializaed, they turned red and said init failed. I cant find a solution to this and I was downloading and uploading pretty well. My uploads still work but my downloads are dead PLEASE HELP ME thanks.

there's file that store hashing of our current download files corrupted/missing . when u run share , it generate new ones, this cause all turn red due to verify fail .

this can happen when share run encounter error .

as far as I know , no way to resolve other than u click on each files and select create cache (this way u will lost all currently downloaded and start from fresh)

In vista EX2 will try to work, and lags, but eventually will spit out ENDLESS error message windows saying "Out of memory". Haven't checked if NT5 has the same memory leak problem.

I keep getting disconnected from my nodes after running Share fo just minutes, how do I solve this?

"...last time I opened it, all my download files never initializaed, they turned red and said init failed."
Maybe you have changed your system date to an earlier date and unadvisedly run Share. It would just kill all your downloads. There's no way back, you have to start over every download, from zero.

anyone get this virus?

>I keep getting disconnected from my nodes after running Share fo just minutes, how do I solve this?

you have to set port correctly,which allows share to import/export files efficientry.
if you keep on closing port,your pc will be a bottle-neck in the network.
this is because share set your pc apart from the network automaticaly.

I just recently got a hold of Winny (v2.0b6.6, if it matters), and a list of nodes, but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm a complete idiot when it comes to p2p programs, so it's not much of a surprise to me that I can't figure it out.
All the nodes under the Node tab say "Wait." Occasionally one node will show up, SearchLink, but it disappears a couple of seconds later.
I'm completely lost. I believe I've forwarded the ports correctly (I'm behind a router), but that could be wrong too.

Any help is appreciated. I'd really like to get this working.

Anybody Can run share on linux?

I stumbeled across Share on Wikipedia and tried to set it up with the help of http://www.uguu.org/share/

Somehow it keeps disconnecting me after 1 or 2 minutes. I tried to set my firewall up, but it didnt work. I also tried to swich the firewall off completely, but that wasnt working either...

I also looked into my system clock, but I have no clue what can be done here. Can anyone give me a hint?

Has anyone tried running Share in Vista? If so does it work as well as in XP?

Anyone could give me a link for download latest SHARE software ? And of course some instruction on how to use it please ... ?

I had download some of them but worried if its not the right one since i'm crap at P2P software . thank you .

My download in share is displaying nothing for its 'Order' does this mean there is no peers or what and will it finish?

I have to say, after wrapping my brain around how this works, it's awesome for getting that ever-so-hard-to-find japanese music that I've wanted, but this isn't a thread about praise lol. Anyway, this isn't a major issue, just more a curiousity, at various points share will just lock up completely for a few seconds and then continue to function normally. Watching in taskman, the cpu usage hits 99% while it locks up. I'm just wondering if this is normal, or if I should be looking into this further, thanks!

>>543
No, it's not possible at this stage.

>>544
Figure out the exact problem; take a look at the Log tab.

>>546
http://127.0.0.1:8888/SSK@szGkEWGmpXKoQHqsu9ubZze-kOgPAgM/CAT/17//

>>547
Your client is currently not seeing anyone to download from, yeah. It might finish later, but it also might not. You could try to change clusters.

>>548
I've never experienced anything like that.

can anyone explain how share clusters work in depth...like is it better to have vague clusters like 'DVDISO' or more specific ones? And when it finds a node does it just have to match one of the clusters and also if it finds a matching cluster node will it always stay connected?

Oh btw would 'DVDISO' match a clutser with 'DVD', if not then shouldnt a clutser of 'DVD' be more efficient since it should match 'DVDISO' or si this wrong aswell?

As far as my understanding has gone in using share thus far, the more vague a keyword used, the more efficient it will be, since it will just pull all the nodes matching that key. So, DVDISO will only pull nodes with that as their keys, or something expanding on it, while DVD will pull DVD as a match text. Looking for specific files is what the search dialog is for.

>>550
DVDISO is a good cluster, but if your looking for something like anime dvds then you'll also want a cluster for anime. Share will cycle through the nodes containing those clusters and look for your triggers.

Ive added triggers to 'add to db' but I don't see them in 'triggers' or 'trigger.txt' how do I remove them etc? Because 'add to db' trigger basically makes your search more efficient correct because you have more results?

Does anyone know what a normal ratio of Connection, Acknowledge and Search attempts and errors is? Share doesn't seem to be downloading anything lately and I'm trying to figure out if something is messed up on my end. After having Share open for around 6 hours Info shows 17k Connection attempts with 5.9k errors, 10k Acknowledge counts with 10k Acknowledge errors and 9.6k Search connection attempts with 5.2k errors.

Never mind seems that something was blocking port 6886 since right after changing it to a different port things have started downloading.

It said "Need to config Network and Clusters Before Beginning", uh, What the fark does that mean?

I get the "error opening output file" problem for all my files...
My HD is NTFS.
They are all complete.
I tried getting the Force File Converter but I can't convert that neither.
My Unicode is JPN.
Any help please?

Oh, I thought I should note that the filename for the Forced File Converter is "[Share Plugin] [PDK9] ForcedFileConverter_0.4.zip" so it shouldn't be a problem with my unicode, I usually don't have problems decompressing JPN files

Ok...
Sorry for spamming but I figured it out after looking out through some JPN websites. I had my "*/Share/Download" as an Upload Folder instead of a Download Folder making it having no place to convert to. Again, sorry for not looking it up properly before asking.

recently get infect by virus that distribute through share . the effect of the virus is all files in share become jpg and also my system .
beware , even though only partial , the virus still able to execute

no idea what it call. I use norton to scan the file but fail to recognize it as virus.
all i did is just want to preview a partial of anime i want to download to verify whether it is fake or not . the file is an exe (using a trick very long name to cover and change icon to video icon even thoughit's application in explore) . even though it's partial only , the virus still able to run.

it not only change all files in share folder to jpg, I found it also copy it self out side(manual search and found) . since norton fail to identify it , I have no choice to format and reinstall my pc. I try to ask few friends to scan using they anti virus (McAfee ,Kaspersky, AVG) to see whether any of them identify it , the result is none .

even though so the share still able to run i stop it then it will give me error (no doubt since all share files turn into jpg)

Does anyone know about the recent analaysation of the Share protocol?
Apologies if it has been posted earlier.

What are the implications?
See http://uguu.org/share/2007-03-24.txt and
http://itpro.nikkeibp.co.jp/article/Watcher/20070122/259207/

They can now track who has a full copy of a certain file with a special tool, but afaik not the original source (first copy) uploader of the file. I think it's unlikely that the japanese companies will go after foreign users but one can never be 100% sure of course.

The problem with share is due to the diffuse uploads, your share client could have downloaded a file to your cache diffusely without your knowledge. So you could be sharing an illegal or sensitive file without your knowledge, just like webhostings and file upload sites allows you to upload any file, should they be held responsible for your actions if they didn't know they were sharing illegal files?

Anyway, if you get caught the best is to claim you were unaware of any such activity, or that you had a virus, some backdoor or something that you removed. Simply claim you are innocent, never say you are guilty.

That tool is public and all it does it acts as a fake node and displays the what it receives from clients - which are files, hence it is able to find out in mass - the ip of which is sharing file(s) on the share network.

Seems share ex2 is very slow today & yesterday.
Using NodeRefresh, it seems the efficiency is only a few percent ?
Anyone experiencing this ??

>>574
I am a little bit confused as to why this tool is anything new. Granted, it was clever of them to spoof a node. But couldn't I get the similar information by downloading the files from Share and writing down the IP address of everyone I receive data from? It is impossible for a computer to connect to another without knowing the other's IP address, unless the data is sent via proxy. Since Share doesn't route data through a proxy, I can know the IP address of everyone I connect to.

So unless I'm mistaken, Share has never been anonymous and I am completely confused as to why people call it that.

>>576
The only thing anonymous with share is it's author, and I bet it's risky for the author to release new versions every so often. I guess if he has a portable device he could perhaps find a public access point and upload it somewhere, or perhaps distribute it through freenet.

haha no, he could just upload it with a proxy like tor or sumthin...

>>576

even though that you can get the ip, this does not mean that ip users have the file or the original sender you requested the file.

in share all the client also acting something like a router to pass data from one another while not saving it. if anyone want to sued a share user then they will have to take a bet whether this user is owner of file uploader or just router uploader.

for now , i don't see on any news that share is on top p2p list to be track down. i guess we still safe for now

Im sure winny still has a larger user base and this sharebot im pretty sure the author does not know that many people know how to block it with share =D

sometime I notice that share used memory until 250mb . but most of time ate 23mb . I wonder what it doing at that time to take so much memory?

hi

does anyone know how to make Share work with a proxy?

Sockscap make Share slow down a lot, so I had to switch to OpenVPN. It works but it won't download anything (left it for days). It connects to nodes fine, I can query stuffs (and get results), but when I add it to download, it won't download anything at all.

The log gets my external IP (the proxy IP) correctly, and port XYZ on the proxy is routed to port XYZ on my machine as well (but my machine will see it as connecting from localhost)

What is the problem? And how can I resolve this?

Thanks a lot

Hello.

I'd never had any problems with Share... Until now.
Some days ago I noticed that I didn't get any new search results and the download speed wasn't the best (I can live with the speed side issue).

Im pretty sure this isn't the case but it seems like alot of user, all of the sudden stopped using Share.

So my question is: Do you guys have any of this problems? If so, any clue whats going on?

Thanks in advance :)

583> i also notice the same problem in these days.... i wonder it may be those Japan local users are blocking oversea IP.......

If it is so, could we use SOCKS/Proxy server and software (such as SocksCap) to bypass the blocking?

So I'm wondering...is there anything like Share available here in "the west"? The west being Europe/US/Canada/Australia/etc

I was thinking how a western port of such a program like Share would be cool but then we've got a Kademlia network...how does that compare to Share?

Also, I just found this while browsing Wikipedia:
http://www21.atwiki.jp/botubotubotubotu/
Perfect Dark, the next Share?
Anyoen have more info?

thats a joke, share is AWESOME imho, I always got slow speeds on winny but on share, wow pretty good. I only hope the developer can continue his work, or release the code, which would be bad unless someone was willing to rewrite the encryption etc, i might... ;)

I agree that share is much better than winny and also kads .

How to make filters work?

I downloaded a fake file, went to queries, added to filter, checking both options, deleted the fake file from cache and DB, went to trigger and enabled "Apply filters", and Share downloaded the same hash in the filter, again!

How did you make the filter? One way would be to right click on the fake file and add filter that way. Then go to the filter menu and edit that filter so that the only thing filled in is the hash and have both options checked.

Could it be that your trigger already put the file back into download queue before you told the trigger to apply filters? You're sure it's the same hash? Lots of fake files out there with same file names but different hashes.

is there a way to filter .exe files

Can't seem to download anything. Upload is going fine, but it doesn't download at all, or attempt to make any connections. Logs have no error, just that i can't dl anything.

Any ideas?

>>590
Yeah, add a filter for those.

is there any way to filter all files above a certain file length? most of my more general search results end up with a large amount of fake files with file lengths that windows can't handle so I would like some way to filter then out.

How come I can't download anything even when I'm first in order?

fucking idiots go away if you cant get it to work u don't deserve it lamers

>>595
You're a fucking retard.

lol? why should you help out retards who cant follow a tutorial lololololololol

This is indeed strange. Share seems to be non-responding.
Almost all nodes I had in my list were turning red.
After I deleted them, restarted Share and added a few new nodes from the http://www.stereoz.net/p2p/ site.....situation seems to stay the same. Share does seem to mess up my connection though.

After a few minutes of Share running, I can't browse properly(Firefox) and bittorrent annoucnes(utorrent) are giving timeouts. Im suspecting that somehow Share is messing up my router but this behaviour also seems new.

Anyone have a clue to solve these issues?

>>598
I have no clue what the problem is, but if you solve it, please post your solution here. A router that I use occasionally has a similar problem so I am curious.

Hi all please could somebody help me with this, yesterday share was downloading fine but today im getting this message "07/05/08 00:17:21 ERROR: Deleting cache due to update time error (17)"
does it mean i have to delete the whole cache and start agai ? thanks for any help :)

Hi please could someone give me some advice, i am order no. 1 in many files. i am uploading fine but none of the downloads start. please help as its driving me crazy :)

@600. I've got the same problem. But I think it might have been caused by my "disk space running out" either on/in the cached or download folders. Now those files have now turned into dark blue and nothing happends even if trying to convert them (data block corrupted). But this I think is more related to that it still needed to wait for some files to be fully finnished (orange color).

I also don't know if the above problem has to do with some "ERROR: Existing file error" message I founded in the Log. Eithers its this or a combination of both problems.

Anyway, if anybody have similar problems plz advice us how to get over this step.

thank you,

Cheer! :)

"ERROR: Existing file error" message I founded in the Log.
Try deleting the files from your "completed files" folder.

Also, I stopped using Share and started using Perfect Dark.
Perhaps the recently published paper on Share scared everyone ?

I am very new to this and while the setup of Winny was an instant success, I don't seem to get Share to run though.

All ports are forwarded properly (Rooter&Firewall), in a similar fashion to Winny and my Bittorrent client, which work properly. In Share I see a lot of downloadable files and available nodes but whenever one is tested it goes into Sleep mode, i.e. never connects. The info column shows almost equal ratios between connection attempts and failures.

What else might be missing aside from through ports that could cause this? I had Share run for a week now and never got a download connection, while Winny managed 26 GB down and 12 GB up in the same time. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks!

@603 thx! It did help but due to a cost of deleting the files :(

hmm, strange. Now I can't download anything...???

can someone tell explain exactly what to do with the nodes on the websites? I'm not sure what i should copy and past into the add node box to get started~ thanks

@606

I just pasted those into the "lower part box" and either press the "add" button or "close"

How do you delete things from the cache? I right-clicked on the file name and chose the delete from cache option, but it didn't immediately clear the hard drive space. Is there something I can do to encourage Share to hurry up and delete the file? My hard drive only has 70 MB left!

THe best way to delete your cache is to move completed items to a share folder and press the Quick Check button under the folders tab.

To delete incomplete cache, try highlighting the file and hitting ctrl+del. The menu function seems broken.

-->608 Use these key manually shift+delete and after ctrl+delete

I checked share.exe for malware here: http://virusscan.jotti.org/
and it gives a lot malware warnings:
File: Share.exe

Why is this, why is there a warning about malware? I can't find any info on Share and malware. When I checked it here again for another p2p, emule. exe, NOT A SINGLE ONE warns about malware.

I do not want to say that Share is actually malware, but I just want to know why so many warnings have been given (while another p2p has not).

Do you even understand what those warnings are telling you? They're saying that you are using a P2P client. CONGRATULATIONS, you have successfully detected a filesharing client. Want an award?

ok, learn to READ. I'm ok with the p2p warnings, but why would they only warn about this p2p, and have no warnings at all about another p2p like emule.

>>614

Perhaps the heuristics detected that it was an P2P program.
Or whoever wrote the definition files decidede to mark Share.
Whatever the reason, who cares?

What I'm more interested in is wether or not Share still functions today. Does it?

Hi! My harddrive just crashed today, and i lost some Share downloads, but my cache seems to have survived the crash. Is there a tool to recover a file already downloaded from the cache? Since i can no longer run Share (on this computer), is there a way to recover such data?

For some reason, I can't seem to get connected on Share.

Hi! I'm a noob with share and just started using it a couple days ago. At first everything worked just fine, I managed to download a file that I wanted (eventhough the connection is slow). I understand that node connection can be pretty erratic but it will connect eventually. However, this time around the node has been searching for connection for almost a day now and still can't be connected. FYI, I'm uploading a file at the same time. So I decided to update the node list but the result is still the same (searching for connection). FYI, I'm also uploading a file at the same time and that's ok. So I just wanna know from you guys whether this is normal and if it's not, is there a way I can resolve it? Appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

is there a way to configure share client to use socks proxy? My ISP sucks big time since they throttle the bandwith for p2p.cheers.

Hi, I have been using share about a year or so, and everything working great until the other day when all of the sudden, I keep getting a port error, and disconnecting. I have checked my router and firewalls and everything is set correctly. I have also checked for any viruses.. nothing. checked my system clock, cuz i know somtimes the Daylight savings can mess with it. but again.. no dice. Any ideas why this just now started happening? and how to fix it?

Hi there Share gurus. :)Here goes my problem: Share used to run smoothly for months then all of a sudden it stopped working. Search does function and I get tons of results but nothing can be uploaded or downloaded - all downloads are stuck at "initializing". No port errors - or any other errors, for that matter - it's just stalled. Since eMule, BitTorrent and such all work like a charm, I assume it can't be my ISP. And I didn't install any new firewall or similar software.

I tried a clean reinstall of Share (it helped before) but it's all the same: some data are being transferred and there are search results but no upload/download. :(

Any ideas as to what might cause this? I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Whats the Thing with the Order?? I try download something, and the order hops from 300 to 15, then again up to 300 or even 400.... But it NEVER reaches 1. Whats the thing about it? Can anyone help me?

Recently Share started locking up ("Not responding" in task manager).
I thought it may be something with corrupted files so I downloaded a new copy into a new location and it was good. For a day. Then it started locking up again.

Anyone have an idea what's going on?

I also have experienced the same problem, although it's quite rare, but it DOES happen (for example, happened two times in the current month, with the latest lockup being just yesterday). Don't know the reason, but i haven't noticed nothing weird in the log or the cache...

Does it happen to you frequently? It could NOT be Share, but something else (from your AV program to a crappy hard disk)

The first thing I would suspect unless it follows some pattern (i.e. only when downloading a certain file) would be bad memory. Try memtest86+ http://www.memtest.org/

It happened a few times in the past, but now it locks up almost every time a short while after starting/switching focus to different window.
At first I thought it was because of the new firewall (Outpost), but it also happens when the firewall is not running.

I don't think it's hardware related, I just put this PC together like 3 months ago, and I don't have any problems with anything else. I'll do the memtest to be sure though.

Hey guys can anyone tell me why my Share can't add new downloads anymore?? everything else seems to be working but even with triggers and queries it just won't add single new file to the download tab :S it was working fine for long time but just suddenly that stopped to work :S please halp!

recently when i running share ,it eat up 400mb memory . the reason is my hash files has grown until 400mb

I just installed Share but it seems not even a single byte has been downloaded in the past few hours. Is it normally like this, or did I screw up somewhere?

I upload small and it's run OK. but when I upload 4.18 Gb it report as 203 Mb. Why? Should it work fine?

Is there a Share site like winny's hashdb.com? A place where I can get ID and hash info for files on the share network?

>>635
http://www.keydb.info

How come nothing is listed when I click on the upload tab? I've defined an upload and cache folder and both do have content according to the folders tab. I remember on my previous system, all files would be listed and/or being marked as being currently uploaded. Now, however, they aren't. Anyone?

This is normal: files are uploaded only once to nearest/random nodes, and after they're uploaded (Diffusion), they dissapear from Upload tab list. So if you're using Share since a while, it's normal to see such tab empty, since all your shared files are now floating around the caches of random nodes on the net.

Please can somebody post a big txt file with allmost of share nodes? Im having some problems finding stuff -_-

Hey all!
I followed the tutorial and everything but, I can't seem to get connected to share, how can I get a better node list?

You only need one working node and Share will download the rest.

this is strange, i've been using Share for a year or so no problem...now all of a sudden after a few mins I am connected to no nodes and the Connect button is depressed. I press the button again and it starts to connect and do its normal thing, then everything is disconnected again after a few mins. Any ideas?

nm, i looked at the log and it says

07/10/06 22:07:13 Disconnected due to time check error

What the heck is that?

Your computer clock has the wrong time. FIX IT! (i.e. sync it with an atomic clock from the Navy, Windows can do it by yourself). Then, restart Share.

I was using share this morning and closed it when it crashed (I am assuming because I use vista), when I tried it later I cannot connect to any nodes despite reisntalling share etc.

Hello, can anyone pls provide me a workable download link to a .exe "share" program? I've been asked running around in circles on the internet to find nothing but dead or bogus links. It's driving me nuts! Without "share" I cannot download "share"!

I tried http://www.uguu.org/share but there's nothing there. Pls help!

Check out these sites, they contain nodes, manuals and binaries:

http://p2p-db.net/ => japanase, also provides Winny and Perfect Dark nodes/help/binaries
http://tomman.monkeeh.com/share/ => spanish, nodes/binary/translation

how to delete cache correctly? Any software?

On the Query view for your keyword/files, select the file, and hit CTRL+Del. Don't use the right-click menu, the "Delete cache" item does nothing (bug in Share).

DON'T EVER TRY TO CLEAN THE CACHE BY DELETING FILES FROM YOUR CACHE FOLDER! It's a bad, really bad idea...

I can connect to nodes, but they do not stay connected for longer than 40 seconds... anyone have a solution for this problem?? I have the program allowed and am not blocking any ports

This happens if you're on a LAN, behind a router/firewall. I've experienced the same issue on my university network (Share always disconnect due to "Port Error"), so if you're using a external firewall or router, you may need to open some ports there. If you're directly connected to Internet, check if your ISP is not blocking any port, or worse, blocking/throttling P2P traffic (this is a pain in the ass, and although Share traffic is crypted, some ISPs cut such users for save bandwidth)

BTW: it's a bad idea to run Share in your university computer lab... unless you're checking the connection each 30 seconds :(

I've been having a problem recently with files that I've download is unable to be open with winrar or 7zip. It gives me a "This file is either in unknown format or damaged". I used Share to check and recover no problems deleted and converted a couple of times. I've also tried winrar's repair option but no dice. Anyone else having this problem?

>>649 "DON'T EVER TRY TO CLEAN THE CACHE BY DELETING FILES FROM YOUR CACHE FOLDER! It's a bad, really bad idea..."

What happens?

Since there is no way to know which file is which (filenames on cache files are hashes, and your cache surely contains your downloads, plus downloads/uploads from other people), you could end deleting your downloads! See the warning at http://uguu.org/share/

There is a Share cache browser program, but i don't know how it's called or how it works. If anyone knows something about it, please post it!

I have a serious problem. When I select a folder to share my files seems that I keep having 0 at User catalog. What can I do to make share recognize my files?
Thanks!

Im the same anonymous @ 657. I check my share and it said : Cache administrator system error. Code 3. System cant find.
What should I do? :(((((

Just a note to anyone getting "Disconnected due to port error"
You can use this site to see if your ports are truly blocked or not (you need to be able to read JP though... if you're using Share I assume you can)
http://win-mx.cool.ne.jp/port_mapping/port.html

I managed to open my ports by updating my router firmware.

I search for something on keydb.info but can't find the file when I search Share. am i doin it rite?

>>660
Just add the hash to a trigger within Share and you should eventually find it.

heya, I have a bit of an issue. Lets say I download a file and it downloads completely. Size 1000/1000. However, if I convert it and try to watch it becomes 995/1000 and pretty much makes it unusable. Any ideas?

Since my country (Venezuela) will be in a new timezone (starting this Sunday, December 9), i will need to rollback my clock by 30 minutes. Will this affect my Share usage? (we all know that Share bailout when your clock has the wrong time, but i don't know how it deals with DST or new timezones...

no

Nice to hear that... although i made a minor mistake when changing the hour - lost only one cache file... D'OH!

At least Share is running OK on the new timezone.

In the Upload tab, there are a lot of files that I have already deleted. They all have status: "init failed". In the Folder tab, I already chose "recheck" and "quick check" for the Upload section, but the deleted files are still listed in Upload tab. How can these deleted files automatically be removed?

share community is too small that it fall out in any survey of popular p2p software

hello
I'm Japanese "Share" user.
Do you have any question?

>>668
Why do not you work? lololol

I have a question. Im downloading a dvdiso:
【DVDISO】BON-BON BLANCO - Winter Greetings 『 LIVEBEATS 2003～2004 』.rar 2,403,727,394 d39b517e2fe2bce25e5c9d36652e3091602c4ddf
to be more exactly.
Im at 99% since weeks. How can I know if the file shared isnt complete so I wont be able to finish it?

Unfortunately, this is very common on Share recently: i also have a bunch of files (episodes of the same series) that are stuck at 98-99% since a few MONTHS :(

If your files are old (2003 is ANCIENT on these networks), they run the risk of being quickly deleted from caches due to low/no demand. The files should be damn popular for not being deleted! (example: Galaxy Angel, even the first season can be downloaded in just one week, despite being from 2001).

It seems that you're looking for a music video DVD, and these things are not very popular, compared with music CDs and anime RAWs, so the complete file may have been deleted from the network due to lack of requests... creating incomplete files that will NEVER finish download...

It's just a theory, but it could be a valid one...

I was wondering, how do I know what clusters to add in share?

Sup, /chiisai/,

So I just finally decided to start using share. I followed through uguu's guide and have it set up just like that, and now I'm at a loss. What exactly am I supposed to do after making the folders? I've got one for each type, I've added a few clusters, so what now? I've tried to search for items, but when I do, it just opens up the query tab and does nothing but display the search words.

Or am I just missing something stupidly obvious like a massive "WORK" button?

The same here. What do I have to add at the clusters? What are they for? And if I push the connect button it just say test or search and automaticly shut down. here: http://img184.imageshack.us/my.php?image=herehg2.jpg

lol... I turned my clock back 1 hour and the problem went away. I'm in Chicago (central time zone). It's possible that Share checks your location against your system time, but has some bug with daylight savings

no, i think its my router thats blocks it...

i keep having trouble with share on my new pc (c2d , 2gb ram, winxp) . share just crash it self after run for few hours. it give me error , problem with my ram . i run Memtest86 for 3 days without any problem. anyone enounter same issue here?

I have a problem with Share since 2 days. I need to open ports everymoment that I want to use it. Dont know why, seems that router configuration of share open ports is not working correctly by any reason that I cant understand.
The problem is that share start correctly, without any error message, but since 1 minut it goes to 0 kb/s download / upload.
Nodes all are time changing by yellow/orange colors but seems that is not searching anything :(
What should I do?

I installed Share EX2 on Windows XP SP2. When I first tried to run it, I got a "Runtime error 0 at 0049B23D," but if I restarted Windows, I could usually open Share. Starting yesterday, I just get the same error even after a restart. I have Remote Procedure Call and Protected Storage services on Automatic, and they are started. I ran a memory check using MemTest86+, but it didn't find any errors. Windows has installed a couple of updates lately. Does anyone have any suggestions about what I could try next?

>681

I figured out the problem. Either my firewall or my anti-virus was loading into memory first, and keeping Share EX2 from loading. I unticked them in msconfig, restarted, and got right into Share. By the way, is Serika's site down? Does anyone know where he is or where to find a mirror?

>I was wondering, how do I know what clusters to add in share?

Clusters don't matter that much. Add the type of file you are searching for ドラマ, 邦画, 動画, avi, DVDISO or whatever. Imitate the cluster words you see in the Nodes window.

>I've tried to search for items, but when I do, it just opens up >the query tab and does nothing but display the search words.

Try searching sharedb.info for triggers, or run a DB-only trigger to add more hashes to your DB. If you do a search with nothing in your DB, you won't get many results.

>What do I have to add at the clusters? What are they for?

Clusters help Share find other nodes (i.e. users on Share) who have similar interests to yours.

>And if I push the connect button it just say test or search and
>automatically shut down. here: >http://img184.imageshack.us/my.php?image=herehg2.jpg

If you are using an old nodes list, it is possible you are not connected to anything, but if you have at least one node that stays connected for a minute or more, Share is just scanning all the nodes it finds for whatever triggers you have set up.

>>683
Clusters matter a lot if you're not looking for mainstream stuff.

And what is in log? port error? Im too!

I say about 680

I'm having a bit of trouble with my Share since 2 days ago (when it previously had no problem at all). For some reason, my downloads will reach "1" in order, and then just stuck there without initiate downloading. At first I thought there was something wrong with my port setting, which I've resetted to a different port on my router, but the problem is still remained. I can still upload new files as well as those in my cache, but I can no longer begin downloading... Does anyone know of any possible solution? Thanks...

damn my ISP block Share :'(

>>687

>>687
Could well be that those files, that you are uploaded, they are nobody liked, and all (or many) set filters to you in ignore. In this case your ability to download will be sharply reduced.
Question to Tom Maneiro and to all others - how likely such a situation? And what need then do?

to 687:
I have same problem since aproximate 2 or 3 days. Sometimes seems that Im having port problems but checking carefully I dont have this message error so ports are working. But allmost of time when people start downloading from me or I start downloading something, I have 0 upload / 0 download. Ports keep working but seems like dead :(

>>690
You can set filters to stop fake files from appearing in your search results. There is no way to know who a user is or what files he is sharing. There are plugins available that can cut off uploads below a specified limit, so you should try to give all your bandwidth to uploads, but even so not many people seem to use these plugins.

>>687 and 691
On the Nodes screen, if you are getting Search, Share and Diffuse nodes under type, then you are connected to the network, and just have to wait in queue. If you aren't getting these node types, then probably you should check your firewall and/or router to see if you have the appropriate ports open. Try switching to different ports on both Share and your firewall/router to see if that helps.
