Could everyone go to their options under File Transfers, and check the 'Try to bring up direct connection' option? I think it's off by default. Unless you'd rather not do that, of course :p

getting swamped? :D

i've been doing that for over a week. i notice it says "try to bring up direct connection..." i guess it isn't always able to. but i wonder if that's because both parties have to choose the option or if something else interferes, like firewalls maybe.

- js.

Heh, sort of. I don't really mind, and Waste is capped anyways so it doesn't become a problem (that's why my speed says 'slow dsl' :). But unless you're specifically paranoid, you'll get better speeds (and more reliability too I bet) if you check it.

I think it says 'try' because it depends on several things. Probably both users need to have the option selected. Firewalls are another thing. Then you need to have each others keys.

I'm back on, and adding a few different goodies. :W:

Hmmm, :PO: is there anyway of telling if this was me, (or my ferret I should say)...I was away from the puter today and he was dancin' across the keyboard and playing with the mouse.....did my Nikki Taur do that?:eek:

away a few days..playing with nix...(not that any would notice..) :)

diego did u get the linux version of waste to work?

This is weird. It seems like my computer is trying to send the files but they're timing out on the other end so I keep getting new transfer requests. Maybe my 56K modem doesn't like two simultaneous uploads to the same user. In the meantime it's monoploizing every last bit of my bandwidth even though nothing seems to be going through.

Maze, first try aborting any transfer that's not active.

Second, try aborting the duplicate transfers and leave only 1 active ul see if that clears it up.

You may also have to shut down waste then reopen again to see if it sticks - no worries though, it'll resume.

1 particular nasty problem i see with waste
 

if you've done some housekeeping in your shared folders - waste takes foreva to show the changes, regardless of whether you immediately rescan your folders or not!

Don't like that much at all.

did you try just having this ticked while you were doing your sorting...like rescan every 10 mins or something..?
dont know if it would help ..thought it may of been for for something like you were saying..

ah the pic..

hey multi
 

i had the default listing for startup but have since changed to every 300 or so minutes.

Guess i'm just so used to seeing instant results...... :doh:

ok....
 

im trying to set up a waste network with some freinds, what am i doing wrong here, all i ever get is "connecting" in the network area never "connected" or wahtever is supposed to happen....



im new......thanks!!

Kriz look over your settings. Make sure you're listening. Then have your friends key and IP and he yours and connect to eachother. Then add more people by doing the same.

Everyone on the network should maintain at least two connections to the network.


Ð :S:

hi kriz..
one of you must not have a firewall running..and use that ip to connect to..if u have a firewall on
if u using xp turn off the firewall thats on by default maybe..if you dont seem to running one..

start with no network name/ID
decide on one after you all get connected

thanks
 

i will try that, thanks a lot.....
