incorrect version for this server ?

[wilka]

I have just tried logging in and get the above message, I am running 0.3.012, and have been for a couple of months, has a new version come out and I have missed it ?
Tried the updater but it said everything was up to date ?
I dont know what to try next

[Karyuu]

New release version 0.3.013 has just been made available, but right now only using BitTorrent. You\'ll have to wait a while to use the updaters, or you can go ahead and redownload the entire client using the torrent.

Thank you Karyu for such a speedy reply

how long is \"a while\"?

p.s. i hate using bittorent...

[Karyuu]

The mirrors will catch up slowly, but they\'ll catch up. An hour or a few? Talad prefers that people use bittorrent where possible, still, but the update mirrors should be available relatively soon.

thats it...(look the numbers arent correct, but a estimative)Also can someone say me where i can find the torrent of the last version?!

[Kymizer]

bittorent doesn\'t work on my computer....i always use the mirrors...gosh...this sucks

[Karyuu]

Makfel - check the \"Downloads\" section on the main website ;)

Concerning the update mirrors, Talad has to take care of those, but I believe he\'s retired for the night. So it may take a bit longer. If this is the case, let him catch some rest ;)

Ok, I suppose a new version is a good thing, it shows progress.  Now, I have many questions--many.
1: Is it actually just an update?
2: bitofrent--I read up on it at wiki.  Seems like a useful thing, except for its capability to get files that it may not be authorized to do so--concerned? 2a: Must I get another program for it? 2b: Will this program be used to find copies of any bits it needs for other progs besides Planeshift, or will only ps be seeded, leeched, and swarmed? 2c: What if my network master turns me into a leech--will my bitor connecting be affected? 2d: Does BT work with mac 10.2.8?
3: I understand the mac version isn\'t available. I\'m on a mac: 10.2.8 (Has been running without lag--even while I use several other applications--so don\'t make fun of 3 yr old buzz master comps) Will PS continue to be compatible with macos 10.2.8?
4: I notice that in the couple of hours since implementation--only 18 people have come back on.  Is the proportion of Planeshift users dominant to Mac, or is there just much much trouble with BT (on PC)?

Well, yeah, and many of us are too lazy to use anything other than the updater.

I, for one, CAN\'T figure out how to use BitTorrent. It\'s just confusing.

My browser just ate an entire post :[

Yes. In the scheme of things, everything is just an update ;)

Besides the files you specify are available for others and the files you yourself download (which are automatically shared), nothing from anywhere on your computer is going to be leaked out.

What is BitTorrent uploading from my machine?
Pieces of the file you\'re currently downloading. BitTorrent trades pieces you have with pieces your peers have.

2a: Must I get another program for it?

No, you just need some sort of client - downloading BitTorrent will give you one, while I personally prefer using Azureus.

2b: Will this program be used to find copies of any bits it needs for other progs besides Planeshift, or will only ps be seeded, leeched, and swarmed?

Torrents work around whatever files you tell them to - so if you only open the PlaneShift torrent, PlaneShift will be the only thing circulating.

2c: What if my network master turns me into a leech--will my bitor connecting be affected?

Ah... hm, not sure what \"turning into a leech\" entails, so I\'ll leave this one.

2d: Does BT work with mac 10.2.8?

Can I use BitTorrent on Mac OS X?
You can use BitTorrent on Mac OS X 10.3 and newer. BitTorrent currently does not work under OS X 10.2.

Remember that there are other clients aside from BitTorrent available.

3: I understand the mac version isn\'t available. I\'m on a mac: 10.2.8 (Has been running without lag--even while I use several other applications--so don\'t make fun of 3 yr old buzz master comps) Will PS continue to be compatible with macos 10.2.8?

Once compatibility exists, it isn\'t likely to be lost. I believe the answer is yes.

4: I notice that in the couple of hours since implementation--only 18 people have come back on.  Is the proportion of Planeshift users dominant to Mac, or is there just much much trouble with BT (on PC)?

The number of people on the server has nothing to do with what system they are using, if I understood your question correctly. The server is a bit unstable after an update, as always, plus not everyone has managed to download the new client yet, plus some folks are having problems with installation, interestingly enough, etc. Until the mirrors have been updated, the number of PSers in-game is bound to be smaller than usual.
