Hi Stief,

I've never seen anybody uploading from me. I've followed all the instructions but nothing seen. I've tried to get advice in the main chat's about slots and how you locate and open them. But nobody seems to be able to understand what i'm trying to say.

Do you know anything about slots?

Al the best. Jack.

slots--never stopped for long in Las Vegas

don't know anything about donkey slots (sounds like a search term)-- but the slots could be the # of download spots each user sets for uploads (see prefs). You can't do much about that other than get on a network that has lots of users with lots of the files you want. If only a few of a lot are open--get lots. You can try fiddling by building up the best set of connections you can by deleting ones that return few results, even after several repeat searches.

Did you open the firewall and router for 6346, and force IP? Maybe slots = ports.
displaced over on the Acq boards is developing a little applescript that checks to see if you have an open channel to gnutella.

Cheers

Hi Stief,
Yeh slots are the spots for uploads/downloads.
I have no trouble in getting any files that I require but would like to share what I have. (maybe nobody likes what I've got) Ha Ha.

I will look into the Firewall and Router 6346 thingy and see if that helps and I'll take a look at the Acq boards and see what Displaced is up too.

Thanx for all the info.
All the Best. Jack.

Hi Stief,
I went back into the settings for Direct Connect & changed from Passive to Active mode. They tell you if you are behind a Firewall to use Passive which I had done. Anyway went to Active mode and typed in my I.P. address, changed the Download Port and Search Port from default to 6346. Now people can share my files Hope it keeps up.

See Ya.
