Exclamation Strange giFT and appolon problem!


I have downloaded and installed succesfully the appolon project with apollon-dist-0.3.run . WHen apollon starts it connects to fasttrack and openft after a while but it never connects to gnutella.Also searching is a bit slow and sometimes when i search a file although i kow it is shared ( check it with kazaalite) apollon can't find it! Is any other having similiar problems? Can anyone help me?

Also FastTracks users (after FastTrack connects) from 2.4 million after 5 minutes drop to some thousands , eg. 99.3 thousands!I used apollon with no problems when i had mandrake 10.0 community , but not this version i am trying in Fedora.Should i use the older one from mandrake?

try Limewire instead

Hi,

I am very sure you havent tried Limewire.

I strongly recommend that.

I have RH8.0 and on 56k modem. I installed LimeWire recently and I am amazed to see the search speed and search results set.

www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml

Hope this helps. Let me know.

regards
Amit

mine never connects.. I have all the plugins needed. It tries to connect using OpenFT and just sits "connecting: indefinitely.. What's the trick to getting it to connect? is there a certain port that needs to be opened?

Thanks,
-myk

To install using the .run file type sh apollon-dist-0.4.run at the command line I did have a problem with no networks connecting using this however, and so I got individual slackware packages and installed them and now openft and fasttrack work, not so bothered about gnutella.

same here. FastTrack is working. Seems as if trying to start the Gnutella plugin makes the others crash. So, disable Gnutella and you should be fine. Fast Track will net you 2.4 million users anyway.
