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

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

      No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.

      Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
