Ctorrent has to be added to 215 by way of the puppy software package manager, as it is not installed. If you have either web_215.sfs or webmini_215.sfs, then Azureus will work fine. If you would like to use transmisson, simply download the torrent file to a directory such as dotpups-downloads, start transmission client, click add, browse through to the directory that you downloaded the torrent to and pick it. That should do the trick.Pizzasgood wrote:There are bittorrent clients for Puppy, but I know very little about them. I just used Azureus, which I included in the web_215.sfs file. If you already have that file, just use it. Download the torrent file and open it with Azureus, and it should start downloading.
Otherwise, there should be instructions on the forum about ctorrent (I think that's the name).
So far I've seeded substantial pieces of it to one downloader in Stockton, California, one in New South Wales, Australia, another in Western Australia, and one ongoing right now in the Philippines. Gee. I wish I could charge long-distance tariffs.Previously known as Guest wrote:Btw, I'm still running the torrent & will for a while
I downloaded it from different locations to different folders without success, and tried 2 versions of Transmission.Failed to load torrent file:
/mnt/sda7/_torrent/puppy-215CE-Final.iso.torrent: not a valid torrent file
Yep. See following thread for updates and patches to fix most of this stuff.richard.a wrote:Indeed I thought I remembered him saying several times that when he rebuilt it with changes in, they were over-written by older stuff.
Those are from MU's rox traybuttons applet. They are started inside the WM startup file that is edited from the Quick Launch menu on the task bar. The application lives in /usr/local/MU-rox-traybuttons and should start automatically with the Icewm window manager.richard.a wrote:There is something else odd too. The taskbar icons to the left of the clock have vanished, and I also can't find the button you click on to make them appear. I've compared every config file I can find associated with icewm in both the rc4 and the release, and can find no suggestion of anything that is different. I'm really puzzled.
No, richard. It's not you or your download. It's the blankety remaster process that decides what parts under /root are in or out without letting you know! I've gotten used to watching carefully that it puts most things in, but the couple you mention slipped by me again this time. *sigh*richard.a wrote:Am I the only one who has found these things? If so it HAS to be my bad download - two in fact, from two different servers, because both were burned and the same problems show whichever CD is run.
This one is new to me. I'll look into it, but it may be beyond my ability to solve if it also existed in 2.14.richard.a wrote:There is also a problem with my attempting to load any background not in the background directory; when locating it and clicking okay in the dialogue, the utility changes directory to /usr/local/Puppybackground/resource
The ice icons are available from MU's PSI repository. They are also available from http://www.kde-look.org as a complete set called, oddly enough, Ice icons. Why reinvent the wheel when these are GPL?richard.a wrote:So I need a brief tutorial please
The number of icons available, beautiful as they are, need augmenting.

Heh. It's your lucky day. It so happens that, yesterday morning, I started to download (in Puppy 2.13 Firefox) the .iso you are mirroring, after discovering that every other mirror was busy. The .iso started to come over at only 1.7kbps to 3.4kbps, so I walked over to the Win98SE machine and commenced to start downloading from the torrent. And forgot that I had started the download from your mirror.richard.a wrote:So, can someone please download the iso I'm mirroring and try it for themselves?
