You're having a bad day !! LOL ;-) (sorry, couldn't help myself....) Are you getting this from the Azureus website or is this an rpm package ? I downloaded the newest version from the website and just did a './azureus' and it ran fine on 10.3... Downloaded a movie without problem. Perhaps you should launch from terminal and see what it says.

Also the logfile does not give me anything. Must be the way you held your mouth when updating. I got into the same goatrope updating on a 10.2 machine - just one, the other 3 went as expected. I gave up, uninstalled Azureus, then installed the latest version. Subsequent updates went well, so who knows? BTW, the uninstall/reinstall process took a lot less time than I had already wasted trying to fix the original. -- Will Honea -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

The most important thing I see in using these types of progs is the Peer Guardian Filter. So, dine and dash with something different. Take the free hour you get from not configuring Azureus and do something constructive while Ktorrent finishes your download in the background. Scope the girlies at lunchtime, grab a workout at the gym, etc. Cheers.

The cycle started all over again. Anybody an idea as to why it does not download (or at least save) it all as it should? I will be trying out different torrent programs later. Anybody an idea for a CLI torrent, which is NOT Azureus? houghi -- houghi http://houghi.org http://www.plainfaqs.org/linux/ http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html > > Today I went outside.
