Ok, I don't know what's going on. I have forwarded port 6881 to my IP, but still no one is downloading and I have no peers.

Use a different port. Most ISP/Servers block port 6881 now. Also, you do know you must use a client that supports DHT right? Like uTorrent for example...

I'm seeding as well, but no one seems to be biting. Just an FYI, the torrent IS online, please use it so we don't put load on the servers.

Very odd, indeed. But this morning I saw it was fully downloaded for me, and available for others, but no one is requesting from my PC. No uploading. :unsure:

Knoppix and others are being uploaded, so not a port issue.

Now I'm a linux noob, but have tinkered in the past (as barney can testify) It booted OK, the wallpaper was not full screen (1280x1024) And I don't know if it is resizable yet. GIMP and ABI worked, firefox didn't.

I get the same issue with the wallpaper, it is only in the top left of my screen.

Also I can start Firefox, it just doesn't connect to the internet for some reason.

I haven't been able to boot this yet (I am at work), but if this distro uses feh for the images, it should be a matter of making sure that fbsetbg specifies to stretch the image to fit the user's selected resolution.

If someone could run fbsetbg -i, it should tell you some information on the best wallpaper setting app found on the system.

Ok, I ran fbsetbg -i and got the following:

  Quote
display doesn't set the wallpaper properly. Transparency for fluxbox and apps like aterm and xhat won't work right with it. Consider installing feh, wmsetbg (from windowmaker) or Esetroot (from Eterm) and I'll use them instead.

Sounds like a better image-processor is needed.

Can you apt-get install feh? Not sure if the repos are set up to allow this or not (heck, it is a beta LiveCD) :p

But it would be nice to include feh or esetroot for this on future releases. :yes:

Hey,

Your fine then. If there was a port issue then you could not download either.

Well, I've uploaded over 4GB so far. So I know it works fine... And like you said, you downloaded the entire thing without issue. :) But yeah not that many people are downloading it now.

Any who, at the moment there are three other seeders and only 1 peer, whom is not connectible. If your not connectible you will not be able to download from me or anyone else who is behind a router.

Here is how to test if your connectible:

http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=53346

Of course replace the port part of the url with the port you use. If you are not connectible then most likely either your firewall is blocking connections or your router is. If you have a router then you must forward the port(s) you use for torrents. Here is how:

Take Care,
