Blubster performance oddities
:( I sorted out the connection problem with Blubster by changing my Zone Alarm internet setting to medium, so now I connect, sharing 2750 files, and Blubsterites are uploading from me. But what happens when I place an entry in the search panel? Not a darned thing! Was looking for some stuff by Vonda Shepard (should be some of hers), Nils Lufgren (not so sure) and in desperation, Britney Spears. What did I get? A total nil reply to each of those in turn. Waited and waited. Nothing.
So Blubster users, tell me please, is there something else I must do before Blubster will let me download some files? (I thought that since I am able to log on to my personal homepage, and others are able to upload from me, then I should be able to download from others). :con: |
i'd disable za completely and try again, if nothing else but to eliminate it as the potential problem. i just booted up blubster and pulled down a few groove armada files (at the usual good speeds) so all seems well with the network (except for browsing - some hangups there). maybe mr hunt can shed some light.

:( Thanks, J.S., for your timely and thoughtful reply. Tried with ZA disabled, and still no results for Vonda S, or Spitney Brears, but I was using wildcard (five asterisks) in the title. So I tried Salt 'n' Pepa, Push it, and got immediate "replies", same with Sade (forget which track title). Reloaded Zone Alarm, and tried again with the S & P and Sade tracks - same result - plenty of files.
So there we have it - nobody online with Vonda S or Britney Spears files, so nothing to download, hence the blank screen. And btw, I allowed about three minutes for something to appear in each case. I guess we can't always assume that the music we want is "out there somewhere"! Picture caption should read "What Budgie?" |
cat 'n' canary too!
glad to hear it's working pb. whenever i'm in a spot i just do "beatles". never failed yet (thanks lads).:) - js. |
