Configuration tutorial...

[akuira]

I have been trying out GTK-Gnutella and I finally got it installed and all. I am working on the configuration for it right now, but there is so much to understand when you are decently new to most of this along with linux. I am used to kazaa, simple and all, so I'm a bit confused. I was thinking maybe it would be a good idea if anyone is interested, to possibly make a tutorial on configuring gtk-gnutella for optimal performance (possibly on a cable modem)... It should include screen shots of every tab of configuration to help ease the process along with speed it up. This would be a great idea, if anyone is interested. Maybe there is already one out there? If so can I get a link to it? Also, if possible can whoever does take this offer up, use the newest release of gtk-gnutella for the demo? THANKS!

and if by chance you do get a reply please share it with the rest of us , because just like you I'm a bit confused about the whole thing.
Just a polite way of saying thanks for this post.
And if some one does take out the time please give hints or clues on which distro's work best.
I personally use Fedora & Ubuntu.

If you have a specific problem it's best to ask about it
on the users' or developers' mailing list. There are tons
of options but (almost) all of them are set to reasonable
defaults. Usually, the only thing you really need to configure is adding the paths to directories with files you
want to share. If the tooltip for a setting doesn't look
interesting or you don't understand what it's about it's
rather likely that keeping it as-is is perfectly fine.

One thing that's interesting but a little difficult is the
filter system. However, you'll find a link to a short tutorial on the website:
