Currently Gnutella can't connect because its cache isn't up to date. Running "giftd -v -p /usr/lib/giFT/libGnutella.la" results in [20:12:32] Gnutella: try_some_nodes() returned 0. node list len=0 [20:12:32] Gnutella: No hosts to try. Looking in gwebcaches... [20:12:32] *** GIFT-WARNING: Gnutella: skipping webcache http://mcache.firstlight.dk/mcache.php, in bad gwebcaches [20:12:32] Gnutella: gt_web_cache.c:583(check_dns_error): lookup failed on "loot.alumnigroup.org": Unknown host [20:12:32] Gnutella: gt_web_cache.c:588(check_dns_error): webcache "loot.alumnigroup.org" not in DNS. banning [20:12:32] Gnutella: banning webcache http://loot.alumnigroup.org/ [20:12:32] Gnutella: file_cache.c:140(file_cache_sync): syncing /home/alex/.giFT/Gnutella/bad_gwebcaches.tmp to disk The fix is simple. Edit the /usr/portage/net-p2p/gift-gnutella/files/cacheupdate.sh script and change CACHE=http://loot.alumnigroup.org/ to CACHE=http://www.gnucleus.com/gwebcache/ It fixed the issue for me. I have a forum post here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3845349.html#3845349 and the info for this I got here http://www.gnucleus.com/gwebcache/ ---Alex Reproducible: Always
Done, thanks.
The gwebcache that's hardcoded into chaceupdate.sh is broken. There is a list of gwebcaches at http://gcachescan.jonatkins.com/ This site scans known gwebcaches around the net and updates the list of working ones regularly. This site is *NOT* a gwebcache itself... just a listing. I set CACHE=http://gwc.glucolene.com:8080/ in cacheupdate.sh because that was the one on the top of the list when I checked.
It's unfortunate that this keeps changing; the gnucleus.com one was supposed to a semi-official mirror and I thought it would be around for awhile. Anyone know of who to get into contact with to see if there is a stable mirror? Their team should probably fix this. ---Alex
Created attachment 124141 [details] cacheupdate.sh This new version of cacheupdate.sh tries to fetch from a list of URIs instead of only one.
Created attachment 124147 [details] cacheupdate.sh A bit more of magic, fetches list from http://gcachescan.jonatkins.com/, if it's successfull then it tries with the first 10 mirrors, if not it tries with the hardcoded list.
Going to add it then, Santiago?
Ok, fixed in CVS.
