Ok, I don't know what's going on. I have forwarded port 6881 to my IP, but still no one is downloading and I have no peers.

Use a different port. Most ISP/Servers block port 6881 now. Also, you do know you must use a client that supports DHT right? Like uTorrent for example...

I'm seeding as well, but no one seems to be biting. Just an FYI, the torrent IS online, please use it so we don't put load on the servers.

Very odd, indeed. But this morning I saw it was fully downloaded for me, and available for others, but no one is requesting from my PC. No uploading. :unsure:

Knoppix and others are being uploaded, so not a port issue.

Now I'm a linux noob, but have tinkered in the past (as barney can testify) It booted OK, the wallpaper was not full screen (1280x1024) And I don't know if it is resizable yet. GIMP and ABI worked, firefox didn't.

I get the same issue with the wallpaper, it is only in the top left of my screen.

Also I can start Firefox, it just doesn't connect to the internet for some reason.

I haven't been able to boot this yet (I am at work), but if this distro uses feh for the images, it should be a matter of making sure that fbsetbg specifies to stretch the image to fit the user's selected resolution.

If someone could run fbsetbg -i, it should tell you some information on the best wallpaper setting app found on the system.

Ok, I ran fbsetbg -i and got the following:

display doesn't set the wallpaper properly. Transparency for fluxbox and apps like aterm and xhat won't work right with it. Consider installing feh, wmsetbg (from windowmaker) or Esetroot (from Eterm) and I'll use them instead.

Sounds like a better image-processor is needed.

Can you apt-get install feh? Not sure if the repos are set up to allow this or not (heck, it is a beta LiveCD) :p

But it would be nice to include feh or esetroot for this on future releases. :yes:

Hey,

Your fine then. If there was a port issue then you could not download either.

Well, I've uploaded over 4GB so far. So I know it works fine... And like you said, you downloaded the entire thing without issue. :) But yeah not that many people are downloading it now.

Any who, at the moment there are three other seeders and only 1 peer, whom is not connectible. If your not connectible you will not be able to download from me or anyone else who is behind a router.

Here is how to test if your connectible:

http://www.utorrent.com/testport.php?port=53346

Of course replace the port part of the url with the port you use. If you are not connectible then most likely either your firewall is blocking connections or your router is. If you have a router then you must forward the port(s) you use for torrents. Here is how:

Take Care,

Will

      My wish list is: A trailer for Final Fantasy VII part 3 and a proper look at Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Not happening, but I'd kill for would be another game of any genre in the Frostpunk world and another game in the Detroit: Become Human world.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By robertwnielsen · Posted

      I tried Wino-Mail and had the same issue with it that I have with New Outlook: My two centurylink.net email accounts (one of which is my primary email account) refuse to work with either one, and sometimes refuse to even log in, even though ALL the relevant information is accurate. Thunderbird does not have this problem, so I'll stick with what works, thank you.

      For me it has everything feature wise that I want. But boy the app sucks big time. This and Teams. Ever since they made the transition to WebView it has been slow AF. I mostly use both apps in the browser now because of too much memory being used by these 2 apps. Hoping that native versions are being worked upon.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11 by Taras Buria The May 2026 Steam Hardware & Software Survey results are now available on the official Steam website, showing Windows 11's continuous growth among the gaming audience. As of early June 2026, nearly 70% of all participants reported having a Windows 11-powered PC, while Windows 10's market share is steadily declining. According to Valve, in May 2026, Windows 11 increased its market share to 69.76% (+2.02 points), while Windows 10 dropped to 23.99% (-1.64 points). 64-bit Windows 7 is still showing up in Valve's reports, and apparently, about 0.07% of all survey participants still use the 17-year-old operating system. Valve no longer updates its client for Windows 7, but it still can access the platform, so the Windows 7 holdouts can stay away from newer Windows versions. Overall, 93.85% of all users run Windows (+0.38 points), while Linux is second with 3.99% (-0.53 points). macOS is third with at 2.16% (+0.15 points). The most popular Linux flavor is Arch Linux (0.35%), while macOS 26.4.1 is currently the dominant macOS release. On the hardware side, the most popular picks include an Intel processor (53.94% against AMD's 46.06%) with six cores (28.02%, -0.6 points), 16 GB of memory (41.14%, -0.28 points), and an NVIDIA graphics card (72.42%, with AMD having 19.13% and Intel 8.05%). The most popular graphics card on Steam is the desktop NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (3.85%, -0.14 points), while the laptop RTX 4060 is second with 3.77%, and the RTX 3050 is third with 3.10%. The average amount of VRAM is 8GB (25.89%), and the dominant display resolution is the classic 1920x1080 pixels (51.89%, -0.32 points). As usual, you can find more details from the latest survey on the official website. The results for April 2026 are available here.
