well that didn't take long...

already the server has auto banned two people:

one with an ip address ending in 177.241
one with an ip address ending in 16.207

and i'll bet it's because their ftp clients tried to open up 2 connections to the server at the same time, then kept on trying over and over after the 2nd connection was denied until they got banned.

Hi

I don't understand computers at all so could you make this a little "incomputent" friendly.

Let's start with: What's an ftp client? How do I get one? What do i do?

Little help

Whee, let's see if the Poptart/Satyrgirl can help.

An FTP client is a "File Transfer Protocol" program. (Is that not correct? I believe so...) You can download them at downloads.com. I suggest using a trial version of GlobalScape's CuteFTP. It's the easiest.

And FTP directly connects your computer to someone elses using the information given by Trs80. CuteFTP will be very helpful in showing you where to plug this info in.

If you have a firewall (and you very well might), you need to go to 'edit' 'settings' 'connection' 'firewall' and then click the little box next to 'PASV'. This will keep your connection from screwing up.

You should then go to 'connection' and set 'retry delay' to at least 90 seconds. You'd get booted for hammering from the server, otherwise. Hammering is when you try to connect too many times in a row too often when you're not allowed on a server.

Once this is all done, you can go back to the connection manager window and click 'connect' on TRS80's server. You'll have three windows to look at.

On your left is your computer's folders. Open the one where you want to download to. On your right is TRS80's stuff. Double click the file. It will begin transfer.

This good?

Comfy is the way...

Thanks alot,

I've got it now and am trying to download...

I've set it to wait 90 seconds between retries but now need to know if someone knows how I can find out what MY IP address is. I want to know if I managed to accidentally ban myself while stumbling my clumsy ass feet around.

So much drama

I feel blessed with the good fotune of this awesome community. I download as I write. I didn't know ftp from a whole in the ground 20 minutes ago but I learn quick. the internet is quite a tool. thanks trs80!!

It should tell you in the little message that TRS80's server gives you whether you're banned or not. Something like "You've been banned!"

Unless you hammered for a while, I doubt it banned you. If you can't connect, odds are good too many peeps are already on. CuteFTP sets the standard retry at 60 seconds, so you didn't really hammer at all if you tried connecting before setting your retry to 90. I've just found 90 to be more acceptable all over the board, which is why I told you to put it at 90.

It'll keep you safe if you decide to foray deeper into FTP territory. :]

But, about the IP, just do a search on the internet for "what's my ip address?" and it should give you a site that'll tell you. There are TONS of those. Try Google.

Kazaa should be a lot better to get it from in a day or two if you can't get it elsewhere(like his wonderful ftp!)

Once more people get it on kazaa it'll be easier to find and faster to get, I've got 3 people getting it from me right now(albiet at 2 KB/sec each :( )

Hate is such a strong word, Visionary...

No, seriously, it's cool. Odds are good other peeps are reading over your posts thinking "Yay! Someone asked that question!"

Do you get this message at all:

STATUS:>Connecting to ftp.hitechgadgets.net
STATUS:>Connecting to ftp.hitechgadgets.net (ip = 64.140.34.184)
STATUS:>Socket connected. Waiting for welcome message...

If so, and you get "control connection closed" it means you're getting cut off, I believe. Doesn't necessarily mean you're being banned, but I'm not sure how to deal with it. I've never had it before.

Anyone else?

Oh, likely just means there are too many users on. I don't think you can manually enter filenames to the transfer que, or you might be able to setup the program to continue trying to connect until you can, and then have it auto download for you.

But, barring that option, you'll just have to try back later. My file transfer should be done around 6:30 AM, EST. Could try back then.

For people with it on Kazaa. There's a program called sig2dat ( http://www.fasttrackmovies.com/sig2dat_install.asp), [see the function "signature calculation] which allows you to build a link to the file, so people don't have to search for it. Users paste the link into their own copy of sig2dat, and then Kazaa picks up the download. If anyone could do this, I'd appreciate it.

Hi all,

Yeah, hopefully after a few people get it from me they can put it up on Kazaa and help spread the wealth

As for whether you're banned on my server...if your connection is immediately closed and you never see this:

STATUS:> Connecting to "ftp.hitechgadgets.net" on port 21.

220-Hitechgadgets.net FTP Server Ready...

when you try to log in it means you've been banned.

First, wanna say thanks to Pollaxt (if he/she reads this board) and and a huge thanks to TRS80 for the actual download. I've got it up on Kazaa(lite) now. I will warn whoever tries to download it from me: My ISP gives me a really, really crappy upload speed of 128Kb/sec which if my math works out right would make it a 5-6 hour download minimum. My Kazaa(lite) is DarinPo. If it won't come up by looking for Firefly - 1x13 - Trash then try looking up the Gag Reel and finding my user name and select the option to search for more files from the same user. Now, I'm gonna try and post the sig2dat thing...hopefully it'll work.

File:[URL="sig2dat:///|File:Firefly - 1x13 - Trash.avi|Length:238937111Bytes,233337KB|UUHash:=nIGc332zZ7VmjfoySxCxdhWRU2c=|"]Firefly - 1x13 - Trash.avi[/URL]
Length:238937111 Bytes,233337KB
UUHash:=nIGc332zZ7VmjfoySxCxdhWRU2c=

Well, let's see how this looks when it's posted.

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doin' wrong here with the sig2dat copy/paste?

I'm trying it now. It sort of seems to work. What you posted isn't quite right. I took the second part, and prepended "file:" in front, like this:

File:Firefly - 1x13 - Trash.avi
Length:238937111 Bytes,233337KB
UUHash:=nIGc332zZ7VmjfoySxCxdhWRU2c=

You then half to shut down Kazaa and restart, and the download should show up in the traffic window.

The download window says "more sources needed" though, so clearly it can't find you.
Thanks for trying. I'll leave it running, maybe it will figure things out.

What are you trying to do exactly? When you generate a signature. You can click url style, then you copy to clipboard and past that into the message. You can then post the link into internet explorer. HOWEVER, you still need sig2dat to decode it.

It seems like you've generated the signature okay. I don't know enough about how Kazaa works to figure out why it won't pick up the file.
