I just compiled and installed Qtella 0.5.3, everything was fine, after having installed the required -devel packages.

Once launched the program appears and can be configured at will, but the connection fails, the states of the Hosts continue to toggle between Connecting and Error.

Thankx in advance to who may help.

I'm seeing the same things in RH73 with 0.5.3... starting to think that somethings wrong on the outside.

How did you install your qtella? with the RPM packages or t-gz?

I compiled the source code and and then "make install".
Anyway it seems that my connection problem were due to a conflicts of the ports with LimeWire, that probably I left running on another desktop.
When Limewire is not up, Qtella can connect. I also successfully downloaded a file, but I still haven't seen one single upload from my 2000+ files.... strange.

I've had 0.5.3 running fine for ages on SuSE 7.3 and tonight I suddenly can't get any connections (and I can' ping several of the autoconnection addresses either), so I suspect your client is fine, but the network is not That or all Qtella clients suddenly cannot connect. Either way, its nothing wrong with your particular install of Qtella.
