Blubster - Looks good but won't connect
 

:( In the absence of any sensible results from Morpheus, I decided to install Blubster. The presentation is nice, and it seems to be operated by people (!). Trouble is, the people don't answer e-mails, and the program just won't connect.
I'm using Win98 as o.s., and I have Zone Alarm, configured with server rights for Blubster, but the thing just sits on my desktop saying "connecting".
Anybody have any ideas about what to do? (I hope this shouldn't be in byte bits - if it should, oops, sorry!)

This is the advice from the blubster site.


under security settings> medium>customize settings in zone alarm you will have to specify the UDP to 41170 for incoming and outgoing. Also this will have to be done in the local zone and internet zone. Once you have done this go to configure in blubster and specify your port in the download section of the config. tab as 41170 then you will connect.

I had a similar problem when I installed it. All I did was allow full access to the program through my firewall and after running it awhile I monitored the port traffic to find out which ones it was using. After finding this out I configured my firewall as such to allow traffic and connection.
I have since uninstalled it so I don't remember the ports to allow;( At the time it had poor content because it lacked users but it seems to be picking at a rather steady pace. Sorry I can't be of much more help but I should have you going in the right direction anyway?


[EDIT]Looks as if Napho beat me too it:tu:

I can connect, i just can't DL any songs at all!;(
