385778 2005-09-04 23:54:00 keep trying... when it goes dead, click Back and try again... It took me about 35 tries to get through.

Though I could find the bittorrent file if you want it assuming its ok to do so by the mods

385779 2005-09-05 00:11:00 how does the bittorent work (I have never used it), I read Jens comment about azuereus is it a client or is it a whole program? (perhaps i should start a thread about it) Morgenmuffel (187)
385780 2005-09-05 00:59:00 Bittorrent is more like a P2P program, you take some data, you give back data

Well just reading back up the threads I can't give the link to the Torrent so, Poodoo

385781 2005-09-05 01:04:00 Ok I've installed it, with azuerus but I get stuck at the listen port thing

I am on a computer with a firewall (pc-cillin 2005) connectedto a switch which connects to a router,

what do I do here?
Morgenmuffel (187)
385782 2005-09-05 01:06:00 allow the firewall access to the internet

edit: also allow the router to forward ports to the internet
give us the make and model of the router and we can work it out from there

385784 2005-09-05 01:42:00 You guys thought of asking somebody that has already downloaded it to burn and send ? plod (107)
385785 2005-09-05 01:56:00 i got it in about a week off bittorrent on 56k :D

I didn't know about the free deal tho.

385786 2005-09-06 07:42:00 Greetings from linspire

Bit sluggish in parts, but pretty good nonetheless.

Was there a free subscription to CNR warehouse included or not? as I can't see one, but I did see it mentioned on a discussion group somewhere, might have to have a hunt methinks, heaps of little linux games and my favourite game "UFO: Alien Invasion" and no stuffing round to install them

Any thanks all

especially bob_doe for the help with my router
Morgenmuffel (187)
385787 2005-09-06 07:56:00 No, CNR wasn't included. you could have used the coupon for the CNR edition, but all the coupon was was a $49 discount, (hence "free" linux), so it could have teen used on the CNR edition, but you'd still have to pay the extra $40

Anyway, fine time for blowing the dsl cap and limited to 64k ;_;
