dc-gui / dc-gui2

It used to work, not it doesnt:=)

Problem:
Every time I try to actually dl a file (all legit mind you;), I get the GDL, and then it just hangs on "waiting", no matter what I do, I just cannot get the dl to start. In the error log, I sometimes get errors referring to "bad param", and others seem to be some font-type problem.

What I have done to solve this:
unmerged, emerged again, emerged newer versions, removed all files referring to dctc or dc-gui, enabled Utf-8, disabled Utf-8, changed my locale settings.

Result:
ARGHLH! Nothing works! *cry* I am now working out from the assumption that there is a combination of this I have to find.

So, if anyone has been through something similar and have gotten it to work, or have some educated guesses. Bring them on!

Regards

DC is a farce most times. I'm going to guess that the problem is with the client, and the underlaying protocol. The fact that two "passive" clients can't connect to each other in DC is an indication of a poorly thought out P2P infrastructure. I remember back in the day when you couldn't stop P2P apps from transferring files.

Try setting your client up in Active mode, and forward ports through your firewall if need be.

noooooo, if I get it to work I will be the only one to use it!!! ;-)

as I said, I am trying, I am however, not making much progress as of yet:-(

dc++ under wine, well, supposedly it works if you use a REAL win98 install instead of the fake files from wine, however I cannot verify this. I have just read it in a lot of forums.

humm... :-P

I tried some apps with a REAL win2k installed and '--winver win2k' with winex... but it seem that the results are the same... : /
I think I only got one app really working under wine... it was 'ms solitaire'... why wine has to be so... uuhm... complex? 0_o

Well, not always so complex. eMule, for example, works decently right out of the box: emerge Wine, unzip emule, wine emule and there you go. But now there's lmule!
