Title: Installation Guide Links Don't Work
Post by: Blackfire on May 01, 2006, 09:46:05 pm

I checked for this and I couldn't find anyone else who had this problem.  When I go to the first link in the installation guide for the installer for Mac OS 10.4, an error message appeared saying that Safari could not connect to the server of the link.  Then I tried the Mac OS 10.3 link and I received the same message.  Is the server down, or is something wrong on my end.  This problem has repeated itself for about a week now for all but the Mirror 2-4 links.  What's happenin' Cap'n?

Hostrocket is being bad. I'm talking to them about it. Hopefully, it should be fixed soon!

EDIT: Fixed! :)

Okay, so it worked, but now I keep getting a message saying that decompression failed and when I try to open client no window pops up and my mouse dissappears.  And when I try to open setup my mouse dissappears and I can't do anything with it.  I am using the app files, but they still don't work.  What's happenin' Cap'n?

You're using the Java installers and you have admin privileges?

No.  Yeah, now I feel dumb, but now I can't get the right PSclient for Torrent (and I don't even know how that program works).  I am just a lot of lost here.

Use the Java installer (linked in the Guide). Make sure you're an admin!

I couldn't be an admin., so I worked my way around and got the BitTorrent to work after an hour of hassle.  There is a link for the 3.014 client for Torrent that works on a page that I accidentally reached.  It is a PlaneShift page with just steps 1 and 2 of what is under the Mac section of the download page.  It is kind of hidden for those who are wondering; just follow the trail and you can trip on it too.  Thanks Cap'n.

Edit: I traced my history and found the site. If this link doesn't work, just type the url (for those who need it), it should be working.  The URL is http://laanx.fragnetics.com/bt/download.html

I don't think that Bit Torrent has the latest version. Sorry, but I think you actually have to be an admin to get it working. Try the normal updater from the Bit Torrent, but not guarantees...
