    Erm I have found another, although im uncertain whether its directly related with Apex DC, using Apex DC is the first time its happened. This one is pretty severe.

    Ok so I have raid 0 array spanned across 2 160GB sata drives. Ive around 200GB shared and so having installed Apex I began the hashing process.

    After around 70GB hashed, my PC blue screened telling me that my raid driver had caused an exception. I never had any such issues with Peerweb, though like I said im uncertain whether it is a definate bug. Though I have just began the hashing again and recieved the same crash.

    Fortunately it hasnt fried my array and I have no data loss, but I thought it would be prudent to bring it to your attention just incase.

    Ok couple bugs Ive noticed with my first bout of use. Please note, It looks very nice, enjoying it thus far ;)

    1.) Having closed the program, and opened it again it takes a substantial amount of time for the program to open on the second try.

    2.) UPnP still doesnt seem to work :/ This is a feature I was most hoping for. At least it doesnt seem to for me, with PWDC the UDP port would be assigned, but the TCP wouldnt, with Apex neither seems to work :/

    Still though guys, nice release look forward to seeing future renditions.

    I shall have to hunt it down, but bare in mind its orientated heavily to our uni network and worked as an absolute idiot guide.

    It was very specific.

    No worries, they certainly made us laugh.

    I would recommend a different set of icons to distinguish it from Peerweb, unless of course you wish to keep the association.

    My major criticism of peerweb is complete lack of documentation, we had 100's of users asking what do all the icons mean? Obviously we figured out 90% of them through sheer trial and error, but its kind of silly if even we can't answer them.

    Hell one of our admins wrote an entire peerweb configuration guide, around 30 pages in length simply because one doesnt appear to exist.

    Though I believe I have read about an Apex docu in construction, so thumbs up, this forum is useful too, though with PW being discontinued, I have to admit finding support for it was difficult :s

    Well thats certainly the plan currently, is there anyway to get early builds?

    As for UPnP, well yes im currently writing a guide, but alot of these students are to put it mildy computer clueless, at Uni alone where there are no routing issues I must have setup around 25 computers in my hall alone to connect to the Hub.

    Port Forwarding is just an added complication.

    Was really manic the level the Hub reached, it was talked about in general discussion around the campus as an adjective, similar to the status Google has reached. Theyd say "Oh ill peerweb that when I get back". And this happened repeatedly with just randomers I was walking past.

    Hell alot of students thought it was an official Uni provided service, we even had tutors connecting.

    This external hub wont reach anyway near the significance of the internal hub for the simple fact that word of mouth wont work outside of campus :) But it will still be cool for those of us who are more adept with computers.

    So yeh definately, thankyou for Peerweb, we considered a fair few clients, you came up top and so got our recommendation, im sure the same will be true of Apex.

    Hello,

    Basically peerweb has been our client of choice on our Uni network, we ran of a hub with ~ 800 students connected at any one time. We are now running a smaller private hub for those of us who miss the benefits DC brings being that Uni is over for the year. However, im having some trouble with UPnP, I mean, dont get me wrong im perfectly adept at portforwarding and my connection is working fine. Its just I would rather be able to tell those less knowledgable students with newer routers / firewalls to simply choose the UPnP option than walk each of them through a tedious portforwarding process.

    Ok so my problem is, when I enable UPnP, the UDP port is correctly added to my routers port forwarding configuration, however the TCP port is not, hence a non-working search / download / upload.

    Is there a known bug with the UPnP implementation in peerweb, or is there a workaround for this problem?
