Sweet, got it up and running, thanks. Afterwards I checked the readme.txt and saw the same thing, amazing what happens when you read the documentation :p

I know how to use the hash. It just strikes me as really unlikely that the makers of that site would have you select the entire blob of text and make you select the parts you want from inside a comma separated list if the only things you would want out of it would be, mostly the hash, but maybe the trip or filename, if you were just going to copy that stuff out manually they shoulda stuck that info in a table so you can select it easier.
So there's probably a better way to use it.
Well it's true that you can manually add them to the download.txt file in your WinNY folder as well, I just find it quicker and more convenient to add a download rule using the hash, which basically has all the information you need to get the file, like I wrote earlier everything else is just extra information so you know what you're getting, the program only needs the hash.
Well, true it only needs the hash, but It'd sure be nice to be able to know what that specific hash is for, especially after you go ahead and add thirty of them. And what about when you have a hash thats been lingering around for a month without getting downloaded?
Thanks for the download.txt file info.
Hi, I hope you'll undersand me: English is not my language. Since one week, I can't download nothing. Can you?
I've changed the nodes list to version 7.21, because 7.28's nodes web is down and I also change in "Winnyp.ini.txt" ver=0 to ver=3. But nothing.
Do you know what's wrong?
My winny connects to nodes fine and displays Japanese on the menus. But inside the window where the files are listed, the Japanese just turns up garbage. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Also, does anybody know where I can find Winny 7.1? Best I could find was 2b66 unless it doesn't matter.
I have a file that's completed, but I couldn't find the completed file in the "download" directory, where is it?
anyone know what's my problem?
>>108
I think your cache folder is running out of space. Clear a few MB off the HDD if you want Winny to work again.
So has it ever been explained here why "key lost" happens? I'm still using b7.1 btw.
>>110
My opinions biased probably, but I tend to think b7.1 is the best one, so there's nothing wrong with your version.
I always figured the key lost error just meant the node disconnected before you could download the key...
Anyone having problems with Winny recently? A few days ago Winny hung/froze my computer for several minutes, and then when my pc started working again my antivirus software found that a Trojan variant of formatall had been downloaded into my Winny cache folder.
Today, Winny hung/froze my computer for a few minutes AGAIN. There was no malware detected, but when my computer returned to normal I saw in my bandwidth limiter that Winny had just been uploading at a very fast speed, like 500KB which is probably an error because my connection can't upload faster than around 150KB. But for sure something was getting uploaded.
Just curious if I'm the only one experiencing these issues recently.
If Winny is uploading at a very fast speed, this means it is uploading the antinny virus. The virus is a small file, but it pretends to be a large one, so when it uploads, Winny thinks it is uploading very fast.
The virus is usually in an ZIP file from my experience. Never open ZIP, RAR, or EXE files from Winny without scanning them for viruses first. Most virus scanners have antinny in their definitions.
winny 2b71 / 2b72. using non-japanese winxp.
I can't add a nodestring.
whenever I click on 'add node' button,(green button on the most left side) nothing happens.
How can opening a zip, rar, or some archive be dangerous? Only running executables w/out scanning is a bad idea.
beware of those files that show icon as zip file but with other extension. this may look stupid trick but I fell into it 3 times
>>115
Exploits.
Plz help me 2 find an appropriate nodes list for 2.0b7.28

I can't seem to connect to any nodes longer than about 30 seconds! Does anyone know what might be the matter? I have all current nodes, all added correctly. I'm not getting any errors in the log and I'm not behind a firewall of any kind. I've been looking around the internet for quite a while and still can't figure out the reason for my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I recently installed window vista. I can run Share but not winny on vista. I have the same problem as described in a previous post by KITA. But that post was four months old, anyone know if people have found a solution for this problem yet?
I don't get it. Whenever I explicitly specify ports for Winny to use (and forward them on the router), it will randomize them on the next start to non-forwarded ports and thus fall to Port0 setting.
If I just forward Winny's randomly chosen ports, it works just fine. What gives?
Recently I'm downloading files which are ZIP, in RAR archive (with password), ZIPped again. There are HTML file with details about the passwirds, which leads to some sort of money game site (gendama). And although I tried following the instruction, the password doesn't seem to work.
Anyone know the password to extract it ?
>123
those types of files are generally fake anyway. you're jumping through hoops for no reason.
Could anyone please post OpenWinny.
could anyone post a nodelist for 7.28? i just can't seem to find any good ones.
could anyone post good nodes for download anime?
I have a lot of nodes but allmost are dvd isos.

anyone can translate this for me, please?
For reading Japanese in Winny, I tried using apploc.msi from MS. It doesn't work well, most characters are still unreadable. Asian characters are already installed (winxp).
Why is this?
Also, in the menu for starting an application, there is a section called "Arguments". What needs to be filled in here?
about the translation, http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/5258/warningdh0.png, if I quickly translate it: not enough space for cache, please make some room for it in folder (something like this).
Does anyone have trouble with japanese keyworded searches in winny b7.28 ?
It cuts every japanese keyworded search to two letters, and if i search on that keyword again it cuts it to a single letter... and I have no idea why. I'm running it on winXP using applocale and used b66 without any trouble before.
Hi, I've just downloaded Winny and I realised that the Japanese characters can't be displayed in most of the fields. Can anyone help?
@132: You must install Japanese support for Windows if you haven't already, and then enable JP support for non-unicode programs. Look here: http://greggman.com/japan/xp-ime/xp-ime.htm
@131
I'm having the same problem here. I'm also using b7.28, with XP and applocale. And when I try to type japanese with IME it turns out garbage. :O
My downloads are all stopping at 2,031,616 Bytes. This seems to be a common issue.
Can someone translate the related Answer in this FAQ?
It looks like the files are virus infected. If I'm reading it correctly you probably have Norton AV installed and it's scan of the cache picked up a virus.
If you REALLY want to chance it, delete the current cache for the problem files, turn off your AV's active scanning and try again. I wouldn't do this myself.
just change ur system to locale japanese, evry pb will be solved !
by the way , when I try to add a upload folder, I got a strange message error (pb of address reading...) , anyone know why I can't add upload folders ?
I haven't used winny in a few months, but now I notice none of my nodes are active anymore and all the node sites have been taken down. Is Winny officialy dead?
>>139
I'd like to know about this too. Winny won't connect at all for me, and the keydb.info database for Winny is "Unavailable". I think its gone...
These lists are still alive:
http://winny.cool.ne.jp/Noderef.txt
(links ripped from http://jcafe.vnmanga.com/index.php/topic,552.0.html)
>>131
Well I found out that if the text in the search is cut off you can usually add some extra characters to the end like asdf and it will cut off less. Sometimes it will keep those extra characters or not enough and in those cases just add more or less random characters.
can i just copy the nodes from one file and paste into another noderef file to make a new one?
I have a 92.2% rate of Disconnection due to "key lost" and I cannot download for shit. Is there something I can do to fix this massive key loss? Or are all the Japanese blocking Western IP addresses from downloading or something? They can download from me just fine which is really frustrating.
>>123
Had the same problem with you, and there are more and more of such files. This is really getting frustrating.
No one in this whole tree of posts even post about "how to get stable nodes" for winyp.
It seem i can only get 2 node going at all time. Is this even normal?
hi...
i'm new winny user and i've read the guide
but i still have a question
to add new site i should modify Noderef.txt right ?
let say i want to download something from hashsb, sharedb, and 2ch...
but the node only accept specified format(encrypted address, etc)
now how do i know encrypted address of those sites ?
