Are you familiar with the TWiki? Experiences likeOn Friday 24 Dec 2004 23:31, Kenneth wrote: <snip>

Yes, I think I followed a link, perhaps from one of your posts off this list in regard urpmi to Twiki. I think it is a fantastic resource. One frustration I have with the official Mandrake Hardware database is that I was not able to see away to give any feedback about my experiences - the Twiki puts the ball in my court for sure. I think I will take the plunge and try to be more of the solution and less of the problem. :)
Where are you getting your BitTorrent from? As far as I can remember I only had Mandrake and plf sites set as sources when I got mine, and it was never any trouble.
Right. Everything worked wonderfully with the "official" Bittorrent GUI and Bittorrent GUI installed. Then I saw BitTornado and decided I'd try
it out. I couldn't get it to work and then afterwards, when I re-installed the official BitTorrent, I couldn't get it to work again.
My "octet-stream" problems occurred when I tried to manually eradicate
all references to BitTornado and BitTorrent so that I could get a clean
install. As I have mentioned. Something is obviously still awry here.
I'll keep working on it.
You're welcome. Please add your experiences to the TWiki. If you've not done any TWiki editing before there is a beginner's section in the Index. It's very easy, and you can either copy edit styles from other bits on the same page, or you can add things with basic html tags if necessary. You get a chance to preview and correct if necessary, and you can always ask for help if you need it ;-)
Okay. I suppose I could start a "Wisdom of a Fool" section in hopes of discouraging others from recklessness. :)
Twiki Time!
