Thank you for being so forthright in describing and addressing this issue. I'm glad these issues are getting sorted out now, rather than after launch (*cough*, Apple).

If you decide to "just copying all conflicts somewhere else where they won’t get removed on uninstall" i think we need to be aware of this so we can remove them if we please. The last thing we need is more files taking up space on our HDD that we do not know about. At least give us a choice to delete or keep them!

Thanks! and great product by the way!

Don't give up on Live Mesh!

I have the latest version of the Live Mesh client. For some reason, since the last update, Live Mesh has been repeatedly crashing. It crashes, I get an error message, it restarts, and crashes again. Plus, documents and files are disappearing. I've checked the folders for hidden files, but nothing is there. Is there any way for you to help me?

@ Master Devwi,

There a couple of ways to get help. You can open a bug through our Microsoft Connect site (https://connect.microsoft.com/LiveMesh), or you can email your Live Mesh logs to lmprev@microsoft.com and describe the problem you're having.

Also, while they are currently offline (for just a couple more hours), our forums are a great place to get support for Live Mesh: http://forums.community.microsoft.com/en/LiveMesh/threads/

@jsbenjamin

Thanks. I forgot about Microsoft Connect. I'll go ask the question over there. Thanks for the help!

I'm on 0.9.3103.14 and just noticed that moe.exe is consuming 19,500 handles! That seems a bit excessive.

I would love to see some options to throttle the cpu and bandwidth LiveMesh uses. Moe frequently dominates my processes, and syncing eats up all my upload bandwidth.

This tombstone business is a bummer. I've added a synced folder for the first time to btw my father and I's computer (1.65gb). It stopped 15% of the way and thats it.

A really good feature would be to see what files are even missing. I have 3.65gb worth of school data on your servers, not sure if its all of the 3.65gb. That might have stopped half way.

As a backup utility or everyday reliance there needs to be a way to be sure of the integrity of the data. I'm so excited for this project.

This bug has been doing its damage on my friends computer now for a week. He has officially 11GB of missing data because this bug just keeps on trying to sync and dropping everything from the prior sync. He had all 59GB of data sharing with foldershare flawlessly prior to this.. boy do i feel dumb for trying to help him out. Now for a week all i can say is "Uh yeah they're gonna fix it soon, and you might get your 11GB back" This is a joke
