Re: [fox@xs4all.nl: Re: gnapster won't download: fopen: No such file or directory]
It's buggy, you can only share mp3's, I often try to download a few songs only to get error so I can only assume that their database isn't kept updated very often at all. I can only compare it to gnutella under linux, which is also buggy but I like how it's distributed and not limited to mp3 files. Under windoze, I prefer Scour Exchange because I can share any type of file, it's more configurable, and the database not only seems to be right nore often, but it's much faster. Hope that helps. I'm nothing of an expert with any of these. * Krzys Majewski ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [000803 13:40] wrote: Out of curiousity, what don't you like about napster?

Re: gnapster won't download: fopen: No such file or directory
I had trouble downloading with gnapster too, so I switched to knapster, which I found more reliable. John *** K, it seems to download now, though I still get the fopen() errors. I like the gnapster interface but things like this, I hate to say, make Windows look good at the expense of linux.. -chris -- Using Linux

Yup.
Hmm. I downloaded the source, and after a quick grep for fopen:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] src]$ grep fopen *.c
chan.c: f = fopen(conf, flags);
chan.c: perror(fopen);
gnapster.c: f = fopen(download-fpath, w);
network.c: dl-fdesc = fopen(conv_unix(dl-file), r);
network.c: dl-fdesc = fopen(dl-resume_path, a);
network.c: download-fdesc = fopen(download-resume_path, a);*/
network.c: download-fdesc = fopen(download-resume_path, a);
network.c: download-fdesc = fopen(conv_unix(download-file), r);
resume.c: f = fopen(conf, flags);
resume.c: perror(fopen);
servers.c: f = fopen(conf, flags);
servers.c: perror(fopen);
upload.c: f = fopen(conf, (status == 2) ? a : (status ==
1) ? w : r);
upload.c:// perror(fopen);
I first suspected servers.c, but...
FILE *open_servers(char *flags) {
FILE *f;
char *conf;
conf = g_strdup_printf(%s/.gnapster/servers, getenv(HOME));
f = fopen(conf, flags);
if (!f)
perror(fopen);
g_free(conf);
return f;
}
This looks like it's just looking at $HOME/.gnapster/servers,
which is there, so it's probably fine.
chan.c is the same kind of thing, opening $HOME/.gnapster/autojoin
upload.c has the perror() call commented out, so if the source agrees with
the binary package, it can't be that.
Looking in resume.c:
FILE *open_resume(char *flags) {
FILE *f;
char *conf;
conf = g_strdup_printf(%s/.gnapster/resume, getenv(HOME));
f = fopen(conf, flags);
if (!f)
perror(fopen);
g_free(conf);
return f;
}
It's looking for $HOME/.gnapster/resume, which I don't have. I'm
not sure what that's for, resuming incomplete downloads maybe?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] src]$ grep open_resume *.c
gnapster.c: f = open_resume(r);
resume.c: f = open_resume(r);
resume.c: f = open_resume(w);
resume.c: f = open_resume(r);
resume.c: f = open_resume(w);
resume.c: f = open_resume(r);
resume.c: f = open_resume(a);
resume.c: f = open_resume(r);
resume.c:FILE *open_resume(char *flags) {
Looks like it's called a lot, so perhaps it's being called when it
shouldn't be. It'd be worthwhile to add to the perror messages to
distinguish them to make sure that it's the right one, and then track it
down.

gnapster won't download: fopen: No such file or directory
Anybody else have this problem with gnapster? Everything works except, gah, the downloading part. If I try to d/l something I get fopen: No such file or directory on stderr, several times, and nothing happens. This is Gnome gnapster 1.3.10 -chris
