Ohbahsan, can u list me your SHARE root folder directory & general settings. Should i create the folder manually or create through SHARE? cos i am unable to create one.
Thanks a bunch
My folder.ini looks like this:
[CacheFolder0]
Path=C:\download\cache\
Quota=0
[DownFolder]
Path=J:\download\
Quota=0
[PrimaryCacheFolder]
Path=C:\download\cache\
Make sure all of those folder's exist. Also note, if you have a non-existant folder set to be uploaded, it causes problems with adding items to your queue, but stuff already in there will continue to download. Caused me problems when I changed some of my shared folders and forgot to remove them.
Also, I can't stress this enough: with ny and share, you should rarely if ever bother with searching. Use autodownloads and triggers, respectively. With share especially, since you can set it to add everything to your DB instead of just downloading it. Set a trigger on the keyword of you choice to fill up your DB with hits, browse and add stuff to your download at your leisure.
Or if there's something you just want all of, set it to download it all. I've found that to be highly effective when grabbing older episodes of longer running TV shows.
Oh, and if your comfortable with your Japanese and with regexes, there are some plugins for triggering via them -

Cache browser that lets you see everything in your cache, delete stuff, and convert partial files with the option to fill missing blocks with 0s and still convert the rest. Highly useful when you have three seperate partial zip files of an album with 1-2 missing blocks each in different spots.
For winny, WinnyUtil is a must. Has a lot of features, but again the main one you're going to want is the cache browser.
As another note for winny: if you're using any version from 2b7.1 or older and haven't patched it, then you're just asking to get infected. There are known remote exploits and viruses that use them. b7.28 of Winnyp seems to be the most popular, and gives you the option to connect to either the older clients, newer ones, or both, depending on your ini setting.
