GamersHell P2P Download Wizard Beta Test

Moderated Post - Will remove already answered questions / fixed bugs
We are testing the upcoming p2p system with a few selected downloads

01. RTCW: Enemy Territory
02. Commandos 3 Demo
03. Yager MULTI Demo
04. Etherlords 2 Demo
05. Call of Duty Demo
06. Chrome Demo
07. Space Colony Demo
08. Homeworld 2 Demo
09. Starsky and Hutch Demo
10. Jedi Academy Demo

200K is just the exe that will take care to install the product and then download the file

it may be slow as it has just launched, once more people will have it it should get things going fast (and have unlimited slots of course)

PLEASE report issues / hints

Work in Progress / Known bugs

- There are known (and worked on) issues/memory leaks with Win95/98/ME
- High cpu usage on some systems
- Support to have download folder on a different HDD
- Support file resume
- Capped upload speed.

naaa it kinda sux normally i get 3oo-4oo kbps but with sfn i get 9 sooo not worth it i think

The idea is to get as many users as possible to download and keep this software installed (AND obviously share files)... Right now most of the traffic comes from our server, as apparently not many users are sharing those files at the moment. The math is simple - more users = faster speeds, like with any P2P app. ;)

Now I remember, the 3d gamers p2p problems were always corrupted downloads..

SFN / Our p2p has a doublecheck on each packet (100K), therefore this should not happen that easily.

Q: i have finished the file-download. now i click onto the file and onto open .. it decodes the file. but where can i find the file now?! after decoding nothing happens.. and theres no file with the original filename on my drive. can anyone help me?

A: You need to have .zip Files associated with a system application (i.e. winzip)

When I press continue in the initial 200K download it does absolutely nothing...

if you dont have the sfn client installed then it should automatically download it, and start the setup.exe file. when it's installed and you run the sfn file that you get from gamershell then the sfn client should start, search for peers, and start downloading.

That's what I mean, when I press continue in the setup it does absolutely nothing.

i dont no if some has already posted this one but in my versoin sfn when i click the stats thingy nothing happens and then i start noticing my system getting reallly sloooo
so i went and check my taskmenu to see what was runnin...
i had about 50-60 Stats.exe's runnin- each takin 7,000+ kb of ram!!
and they were not closing at will. it took a while to get them all shut down and restor order to my comp
afterwards(since i shutdown sfn in hopes of automatically shutting down all the stats.exe) i restart sfn and found that my DL did not resume and i had no idea of how to make it resume where it left off and i was scurred to clickin on any of the tabs or things under the tabs for fear that i would start getting other stuff runnin.

overall, however, i do like the software and the interface looks great. just needs some tweaks here and there and it should do fine
i hope this helps

i think you were unlucky because the devs have been changing/adding servers

i dont think you should get that problem now, but software like this usually doesn't work exactly like you want it to, hehe
