![]() Travails of a former Morpheus FT user...
Started out with Morpheus FT & RefoSearch, everything great ![]() ![]() Then tried installing Grokster, but install failed. ![]() Then installed Kazaa, old Morph d/l's successfully resumed, everything great ![]() ![]() Then tried hacking Morhpeus FT (as opposed to "Gnorphleus"), first by changing 4th byte of network config, then by installing Indy's reg zip. Both ways, still got 'too old' message and still wouldn't connect ![]() Then re-tried Grokster, installed OK spyware-free as per instructions from project Amnesia, moved Morph/Kazaa .dats to My Grokster folder, and old d/l's resumed, everything OK ![]() ![]() ![]() Then installed KazaaLite (spyware-free). Fresh d/l's work great ![]() ![]() Does anyone know why Grokster ate my downloads? Does anyone know how to get KazaaLite to resume my previous M/K/G downloads? Does anyone know if these problems involve .dbb files? (I don't really know what to do with those) Does anyone know who I have to sleep with to connect to Morpheus FT? Please excuse long post. Any help appreciated ![]() |

![]() the .dat files contain the absolute target path name i.e. if you downloaded with morpheus to something like
c:\programs\morpheus\My shared folder this path is stored in the dat. you now moved them to My Grokster - Grokster finished them and now its wants to copy them to the old My shared Folder - they are either there now, or if you have removed this folder, they still are .dat and wait for being copied. maybe it works, if you create the old path of My shared folder and restart Grokster - maybe Grokster detects that and now copies the .dat to their final destiny. thats my theory - any comments are welcome indy

![]() Thanks for the tip, Indy.
I've separated my .dats in My Grok, leaving "download#####" dats there, and putting "kazaadownload######" dats into a recreated c\progs\morph\myshared folder. (Am I right that the dats called "kazaadownload####" are the unfinished Morph FT ones?) Right now, I want to let Grok run for a while and d/l a few files to make sure that 'desaparecidos' files were only old morph ones. And see if maybe some reappear. Then I'll reinstall Morph and let y'all know how it goes. Thanks for the welcome, Jack. I've been checking in on NU since I first installed Morpheus in January, and it's been a great resource. |

![]() yes - the kazaadownloads are the old morpheus .dat
grokster also handles the kazaadownloads - i think you do not have to reinstall morpheus (btw. it probably will not work) - leave the kazaadownloads in MyGrokster - grokster just needed an existing folder with the old pathname to copy the finished files to - which you have created now. indy

Since my first installation of Morpheus, and due to several reinstallation’s in different locations (Installed XP twice, New hard drive added, installing Grokster, iMesh etc. etc.) and after acquiring various startfiles, I have several download folders on my system. C:\Museekster C:\Program Files\Morpheus\My Shared Folder C:\StartfileDownload C:\Startfiles D:\Program Files\Grokster\My Grokster (never used) D:\Program Files\Morpheus\My Shared Folder (never used) D:\My Music - Shared (current default) I found out back in the Morpheus days that by adding kazaa to the new download.dat files some of the startfiles had that Morph would see them. Like indy said the newer 1.5 clients (including iMesh) can handle either type. indy - what do you mean "btw. it probably will not work". I got mine going again and actually get a download now and then. And early this morning I saw a user@MusicCity - usually they just say user@??? ![]() |

![]() well, been running Grok for a while now ("download####" dats only); most of them are 'more sources needed' or 'remotely queued'.
But some have successfully completed. AND they are actually present on my computer, not desaparecidos, which is nice.... However, My Grokster window is double-listing newly-completed MP3's (i.e. one song d/l'ed, one copy of it on my drive, but two listings of it in My Grok). Double-clicking either listing plays the song, editing details only works for one listing, deleting one listing deletes that listing AND the file, but leaves the other listing intact; unless the file is playing, then only the selected listing disappears, leaving file and other listing intact. (I backed up the files in a different folder first.) This is happening for both resumed and freshly-sought MP3's, but not with AVIs, which have d/l'ed OK and work fine, and have only 1 listing. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Re Grok recognising "kazaadownload###" dats, my issue is not that Grok has any probs resuming them (it doesn't), but that once they are completed, I can't find them anywhere: not the completed file, nor the dat. That's why I'd like to try resuming them in Morph or KazaaLite. The full Kazaa (with all the spyware) recognised them, but Kazaa lite doesn't. I'll re-install MorphFT later today and try the new reg and see if I can connect, then post any news (probably tomorrow). |

![]() Re-creating c\
![]() The completed files were nowhere to be found before, so they must have been stored in some other format in some other folder during their 'disappearance' (as the dats were no longer in My Grok shared folder). Thanks for the help, Indy. BTW I'm still getting d/l'ed MP3s being double listed in My Grokster window. Anyone know anything about that? |

![]() fine that it worked
![]() the "My Grokster" folder is shared by default. could it be, that this folder is a subtree of a folder, you have shared additionally - thus doubling the sharing of "My Grokster" indy
