Like many other Java programs, Furthur uses a lot of RAM. 64MB is the bare minimum, and I would highly suggest a bump up to at least 128 if you're going to run Furthur. Of course, Furthur is also still very much in beta testing, and there are many known bugs.
All Furthur components are included in the download, including the packet piggybacking (PCP) and downloading from multiple sources (Antelope). I'd suggest checking out Furthur Forums for more information: http://forums.FurthurNET.com Wren On Thu, 7 Feb 2002, james moeder wrote: > > I can't do a thing with furthur open and downloading.
