Apollon

[Kroesss]

Hi all,

It's me again with another question. I'm trying to install apollon for file-sharing. I've installed the following adept-packages for this: apollon (duh),libgnutella-gift, libopenft-gift (without gift's installed it wouldn't work was my guess). All installed itself without a problem.

Now when I start Apollon, it gices me a message saying it can't find the Gift-folder, so I point the program to /usr/lib/giFT because I believe that's where the giFT's are stored. Apollon accepts this folder without a message. Then It asks me a couple of first-time-use-questions, and after those it tries to connect, but it won't find anything. Does anyone know if I've missed an adept-package or something?

And also does anyone know how to get the fasttrack and ares-giFT plugged into Apollo?

Re: Apollon

1) Dumb Question: Did you install Gift & GiftD? - check out http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthre...pollon+install

2) libopenft-gift is the fast track plugin - but my experience was that it never connected to the open fasttrack network - so I removed it

3)The Apollon site: http://apollon.sourceforge.net/files.html has links for the plugins - I tried & was unsuccessful at the Ares plugin also

4) Currently the info screen shows "connecting" when I launch Apollon but when I start a search it changes to "connected" - not sure if it is a bug or i am impatient ....

Goodluck - in the end all I could get are gnutella connections

Re: Apollon

Gnutella is no good in my opinion, if that's all I'm going to get, I might as well deinstall it now and save me the frustration. I mainly download from the ares-network, and (less) from the fasttrack-network. Is there a program that can download from these?

Re: Apollon

you may want to look at dc++. the install is literally easier than a windows .exe process. took me like 2 minutes.

the site might be down right now, but its the first selection on this page.

dc++ the easy way.

its a good program, but you need lots of files.
