    I'm using xubuntu 6.10 thats what I have I just need to know EXACTLY which file to burn to make the boot disc ?? pls help
    This is the file you need for xubuntu

    p.s someone mentioned an .exe install that would be alot easier for me where can I get that

    Ok i belive this is the file. Perhaps greg can let you know if it is not. fyi good find greg, ubuntu just keeps getting easier and easier.

    if I install that would it replace window ??

    no windows will remain on your system. however there is probably an option to remove it

    Once is a coinsidence

    Twice is a dubious coinsidence

    Three times is not coinsidence and should be investigated.

    I had not ment to arrgavate you with my comment. I had ment that pressing the clear button is a coincidence and the actual error is caused by something else. This was in an attempt to try and see if we could get to the bottom of the problem. as said the clear button clears a registry setting which is completly unrelated to apex. I gusse i cannot say it is defenetly not the cause, computeres can be wiered but it is highly unlikly to be the cause.

    in the example you gave above you say

    • I then shut down Apex DC++
    • clicked the clear buton,
    • restart Apex DC++
    • favs are gone

    did you try to test this without pressing the clear button. if not it is much more likly that the process of shutting down and opening apex was the thing causeing the problem. Not the act of pressing the clear button. Please also note that we,i appreiciate people reporting bugs, issues or just asking for help and we will try to assist the best we can. If i gave you the impretion that i was patronising you, i appolagise that was not my intention.

    Lain_13. What you have descriped is QoS. This is not something which should be imlpmented into a file sharing app. It would be like asking for a firewall. I have had a quick look around and there dosn't seem to be many software solutions you can try here but i dont vouch for them in any way. this is genrally something that is implmented into your hardware firewall or router. I am just about to leave work so i havn't had time to read this. However it looks like microsoft are implmenting better qos support into vista.

    Hello A_S_R,

    I have split this topic as it is slitly different to the other one. This sound like a very strange problem. Could you use a brodband speed checker like the ones on dslreports to ensure you do not have any genral connection problems. Also has your ip address change since you have upraged.

    Problems continue with getting file lists and periodical disconection from hubs
    it is worth mentioning that this is not unusal in normal cercumstances. however you download speed should certanly not go down after you have upgraded.

    if you are on a windows box try the following

    start -> run

    cmd /k nslookup [hub address] --- e.g. cmd /k nslookup techgeeks.geekgalaxy.com

    this wil give out put like the following

    Server: ***.***.***

    Address: *.*.*.*

    Non-authoritative answer:

    Name: techgeeks.geekgalaxy.com

    Address: 68.94.183.60

    you should then search for the address that appears in the following file C:\Program Files\ApexDC\guarding.p2p (open in notepad). note that you may need to search for only the first three or possibly two octavise to find the correct entry that is blocking your hub. hope this makes sense

    Hello,

    I just wanted to let people no that i have retiered from my beta testing position. I wil continue to be part of the apex support team. However for one reason or another i have been unable to forfill my role as beta tester and thought it best that i give someone else a chance. As said i will stil be around the forums and once i have sorted out a few things i have to sort out i will come back begging for my position. keep up the good work everyone and i gusse i now have to wait like everyone else for the wonderfull up and commin 0.5 release

    To do this you would need to download the file list of every user who returned a search result. I dont think the functionality is possible. Just incase you mist it you can search by catagory. e.g. vidieo (avi, mpeg, ..) image (jpeg, gif, bmp ...) and so on. however this is is restricted to the predifined list below. With the current protocol it is not possible to get anymore control then this.

    • for any file type
    • for audio files ("mp3", "mp2", "wav", "au", "rm", "mid", "sm")
    • for compressed files ("zip", "arj", "rar", "lzh", "gz", "z", "arc", "pak")
    • for documents ("doc", "txt", "wri", "pdf", "ps", "tex")
    • for executables ("pm", "exe", "bat", "com")
    • for pictures ("gif", "jpg", "jpeg", "bmp", "pcx", "png", "wmf", "psd")
    • for video ("mpg", "mpeg", "avi", "asf", "mov")
    • for folders
    • for TTHSearch

    STUN is not really that usefull with dc++. it can not open ports on your firewall and would only be usefull for getting your external ip address. In fact the way that apex gets the external IP address could be said to be a sloppy implementation of tcp stun.

    Good work kien. it would be good if the topics on the front linked to the relevent sections. Also you are missing one - Advance settings explained. People may also benifit from haveing a link to the post on the forums so they can read updates and coments. Altogether a good guide though looks quite nice ad easy to read

    well i think (as almiteycow has said) it is going to take a while to make a decent basic client and i belive the revconnect code is much more of a priority then anything else. however i think it is mabey a good thing to aim the linux client at OP's, if they are using linux then they probably know what they are doing and therfore want a client that can do more then the norm.

    the counter argument to this is I want people to use free open source software. ubuntu is making big steps in opening up linux for humans. therefore the argument of "if they use linux they probably alredy know" starts to loose its credence. if we want people to stop using propriatory software then developers have to make software that is easy to use.

    well its late, im drunk and have just noticed thati was going to rant for ages so im going to stop. :P merry christmas all :)

    AFAICS your LAN IP is 192.168.2.1, and you are setting to 192.168.2.2.

    maybe, but i suspect this is the ip address of the router, 192.168.2.1.

    AFAICS, do you have more then one network card or do you have a software firewall. could you also confirm 192.168.2.2 is you addy, e.g. windows -> run "cmd /k ipconfig". TBH you are probably best trying to get hold of some one in TGO. Could you also say what hubs you are tying to search in. some hubs require you to reg before you can search.
