I installed successfully on Linux with Java 17. Default datastore size was 100 GiB indeed. On a side note, it would be great to be able to define a custom value without having to live-edit the page with web dev tools, like it is possible for bandwidth settings.
Default upload speed was 32 KiB/s. Default number of threads was 1000. All default bookmarks worked. Thanks for all the continued work :) On Sun, Apr 3, 2022, at 01:09, Dr. Arne Bab. wrote: > Thanks to TheSeeker for the review! > > > We found an error in dependencies.properties: wrapper-linux-ppc-64 had > the wrong CHK key.
