Anyone know why random songs fail to download properly?

s_k 05-14-2011 02:56 PM

I dunno. I switched it off this afternoon as I had to restart the computer.
Could be the problem :)

No idea, it's worked fine for me so far. Oh, and RVCA, I've been raiding you collection like crazy, been looking for that Carissa's Wierd album for quite awhile, thanks!

It usually has something to do with the user you're downloading from going offline or having a connection issue for that particular song. If any songs error out, simply right-click and retry. The song should then be remotely queued until your current download is finished.

Is there a reason that when I try to browse your files it says "no files shared?"


Is that the message that a person gets when someone doesn't want a particular person to look through their collection?

No, I've added you so you should have full access. I'll restart. Try again!

Edit:
Also, make sure you've got things set up correctly. Is your port open?

Edit2:
Actually, my port must have changed, because it shows closed.
Fixing that.

Ok, I've figured something out.
When you set up your port forwarding in your router, and add the server IP (which is your own computer's IP), everything's good.... but... most routers have a DHCP function and dynamically assign your computer a private IP like 192.168.1.X... The problem is that the lease isn't usually set to be indefinite, and when you turn off your computer, and turn it back on, the router may issue you a different IP from its scope.
The result is that the port forwarding server IP is now different from your computer's current IP, causing the incorrect configuration.

The way to fix this would be to set your DHCP lease, in your router, to indefinite (or by making a reserved IP for your computer). Or, simply configure your NIC to have a static IP address in the network your router's DHCP function advertises.

If anyone needs help with this, let me know.

hmmm I don't know if it's on my end or what but I can see RCVA's collection just fine but it still says no files shared for you.
