Presentation works fine here. Media Player Classic, 3ivx decoder, 
all standard stuff right out of the K-Lite codec pack.

Here's the K-Lite Mega Pack download location, also with Real and 
Quicktime support without their players, no spyware:  http://www.codecguide.com/download_mega.htm
For those with Windows, though.
Someone's autofocus is a little inconsistent, but the audio is good 
enough.

I'll keep my bittorrent running to contribute the downloading.

Alan, do you have a firewall appliance? If so, you need to open a 
port. If the firewall appliance has UPNP support, Azureus can open 
the port for you automatically if you tell it to. BitTorrent is a 
two-way protocol.
It is also best to tell Azureus to do all of its communications over 
a single port (this may not be optional now). Some ISPs also block 
or slow down the standard BitTorrent ports, so you may want to change 
that port 6881 to something like 50000.

BriahH;yes a belkin router and I told it via the congig window to 
allow ports 6881-6883 to be open,but still getting a nat error :( 
?
same with port 50000
tried to find my port docs to see what other tcp/udp ports I cna 
use
BrianH

Do you also have the XP SP2 firewall or some other software firewall 
installed?
Alan
4-Oct-2005
[2122]
yes all the latest patches plus ZoneAlarm Pro
BrianH
4-Oct-2005
[2123]
Well, ZoneAlarm may be causing the problem. What software in particular 
throws the NAT Error, and does it provide more detail?
Alan

I am trying to config Azureus and getting the problem when it comes 
to the port dialog page
Pekr

TCP  	 	6881  	 	6881  	 	6881  	
TCP 		6969 		6969 		6969 
UDP 		6881 		6881 		6881

Oh, the autoconfig wizard. You can ignore that error for now - it 
is probably caused by proxy settings or some such. As long as at 
least some of the seeders are poked through their NATs or otherwise 
visible to the net, you should still be able to download.

Those are my settings for Azureus taken from my xDSL modem NAT
Graham

You need to make sure that the router also forwards the port to your 
ip address.
BrianH
4-Oct-2005
[2129]
Later you can tweak the settings to make it run faster.
Graham

For those that have firewall problems, suggest that they do the http 
download.
Pekr
4-Oct-2005
[2131]
Yes, simply catch those three ports and NAT (translate/forward) them 
to your internal IP address - address of PC azureus is installed 
on ...

Graham:got the files via torrent just trying to set up Azureus
BrianH

My Netgear NAT/firewall appliance does this automatically with UPNP. 
I think the Belkin supports that too.
Be sure to not forward the remote control port (default 6883) beyond 
the firewall though, or other people can make your computer download 
stuff.

It's the first time I'm using Bittorent . What does Seeds 4(6) and 
Peers 0(1) mean ?
Alan
4-Oct-2005
[2136]
think it means that there are 6 ppl with the torrent and 4 are online/the 
other not sure about
Graham

[2137x2]
It means there are 6 people who are seeding ( ie. they are not downloading 
), and you are connected to 4 of them, and there is 1 peer ( who 
is downloading ), but 0 connected to you.
ie. you are not uploading to anyone.
BrianH

Everyone that is downloading or has downloaded the file(s) is a peer, 
part of the swarm, until they disconnect. What Azureus calls a Peer 
is someone who hasn't finished downloading yet - this was traditionally 
referred to as a Leach, but some people got offended. A seed is someone 
who has the whole file(s) and is still connected to the torrent to 
provide the file(s) to those who are still downloading.


When it says Seeds 4(6) and Peers 0(1), it means the tracker can 
see 6 "seeds" but you are actually connected to 4, and that the tracker 
can see 4 "peers" but you aren't connected to any of them. If you 
are behind a NAT your external IP address is different, so you may 
be in either the peer or seed set, one of the ones you aren't connected 
to.


You may also be connected to others through DHT, a kind of distributed 
tracker. The regular tracker won't necessarily see those, so you 
can't assume that the 4 seeds you are connected to are all part of 
the 6 that the tracker sees, for instance. This only matters when 
you are connecting to shaky tracker sites or those that enforce friendly 
upload/download ratios.

On a more DevCon-related note:

Maarten, thanks for mentioning the posting of the experimental rebcode 
support! I have been going through it, figuring out how to improve 
the assembler and such. Fun!

What can I use to view the mp4 file?  Get errors in WMP and QT that 
the profile used to encode it is not supported. Have updated QT to 
support mpeg-4.
Graham

[2143]
I used WMP, but I guess I had all the codecs needed.
Luca

Brett - I received an error about an unknow codec from Quicktime 
too, but if I press the play button when it shows a black screen, 
the video starts with a good video and audio.
Pekr
5-Oct-2005
[2145]
no problem with codecs here. I stopped to use whatever else than 
divx and xvid. Those guys did really good work in bringing you good 
codecs. So - go and download some codec pack - e.g. ffdshow, or all-in-one 
codeck pack ... go to http://www.free-codecs.com

I'm using ABC and I'm behind a router, even if I didn't configure 
any forwarding the program is able to upload. Is it starting the 
uploads sessions as a client other than a server?

Thanks for the tips. Luca, yes I should have just clicked play on 
the black screen! Sheesh. :-)
