------- Additional Comments From atomo64@gmail.com 2006-13-06 12:08 ------- The HostCache.dat file is required only if Internet Explorer (up to v5) can't be /isn't installed. Without Internet Explorer Shareaza can't request the information from the web caches because a normal web cache request is something like http://url.com/cache?get=1&hosts=1 , but without IE the request sent to the server is http://url.com/cache dropping the request arguments and then, failing to retrieve the right information.
(I tried to change the status to NEW but it says I can't because of permissions ).
