$ electricsheep
please be patient while the first sheep is downloaded...
lost contact with v2d6.sheepserver.net, cannot retrieve sheep.
I have literally about 3GB of sheep downloaded manually in my
~/.electricsheep folder. I noticed there was also a ~/.sheep folder and
I moved them there and attempted to start the screensaver, with the same
error.
