I'm getting the feeling that this is some problem on my system, because nobody else has reported it, but I'll post it here just in case someone knows how to fix it. I've downloaded the latest phex.jar file. (The new features sound really neat, I'd like to try them.) I've installed JDK1.3, and I can use it to run furi and all that, so I think the installation is ok. However when I run java -jar phex.jar, I get an error in the zip handling telling me that it has a bad CEN header and invalid signature. (Sorry, I'm at work right now and don't have the exact message onhand.) This would seem to suggest to me that there's some corruption within the .jar file and the decompression is barfing. I tried getting the .jar file from several sources, thinking that maybe one was corrupted, but all the copies I got seemed to behave the same way. So, here I am. Does anyone have an idea what this problem might be?

Aside, I'd like to compliment Konrad on making what would seem to be a big step forward in reaching the full potential of gnutella and file sharing in general. This sort of persistent file-hunting behavior is something that's been on my wishlist for quite a while, and I haven't gotten up the will to code it up. Kudos.
