Should I keep It Online?

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/everything-related-board/t-filesharingtalkcom-slavanap-server-163745

The server FileSharingTalk.mensap2p.com has been running now for 23 hours, 24 min. It was a spontaneous idea/intention of mine to keep it up for only 24 hours..unless :) you would like me to keep it online.. If you look at the server statistics below, you will see it's been quite busy for a brand new file-sharing server, considering it is it's first day online...

If you like this idea, then I could make a simple guide with some screen shots to help you connect rapidly to the server..

It would be for simplicities sake, the Sunshine client, you see in the thread mentioned above. There is a download link to it.

34 minutes to go... and the server is filling up again :)

We could try and make it to the top of the league..
check the list here http://www.gotnap.com/index.php?loc=list

(you will need to scroll down to find server, FileSharingTalk.mensap2p.com ...but with a little bit of help... ...we could reach number one, let me say, within a month or two.... ( minimum share on the server, by the way is, 3 files and 12 mbs, no porn, but I know you wouldn't have any of that now, would you :noes: ) :yup:

What's your advice? Carry on ..or take it offline in 30 minutes...

:pizza:

[thewizeard]

I have added a guide if you want to join those who went before you...

http://z15.invisionfree.com/Imagine_If/index.php?showtopic=204&st=0

That should help get you in, there might be a few typos etc ....I could copy and paste the whole thread here... now..I wonder how long it takes to reach 1000 users .. at the moment, 462

[100%]

To be honest, i get everything i need off of bittorrent and i seriously don't need more.
It is a great gesture, of course i would prefer to share to fst users as a priority instead of the masses, but that is not the way torrents work.

[Jagarga]

p2p is for gays. ng ftw.

[thewizeard]

OK well after a successful 30 hour experiment with users rising to just over 700 and sharing 40,000 gigs data, I have shut the server down. :)

[MediaSlayer]

its was cool of you to put it up tho thnks

[Chip Monk]

p2p is for gays. ng ftw.

What's ng, is that like usenet.

[thewizeard]

its was cool of you to put it up tho thnks

Thanks, you were welcome, and the only reason I shut it down was because I was using FileSharingTalks's name and the Admin had neither said, "go ahead" nor "stop" and... it was just for a bit of fun... :D

[thewizeard]

So you thought you had got rid of me.. hehe :) Well due to popular demand.. like loads of emails and a few pm's.. I have restarted FileSharingTalk.mensap2p.com server ..and will leave it running for at least a week unless FST administration request me to shut it down..

If there are any WinMx users trying to connect, please contact Vargas..Mensap2p's WinMx specialist and moderator...

[Alien5]

ok dave

[manker]

I think j2k4 should move this topic to the filesharing part of the bored.

[thewizeard]

Do you really, erm.I was thinking more in terms on the Movies, section part of the bored .. :yawn: :)

[manker]

Nah, not really - he should leave it here as that's where you intended it to be read.

See, I have a feeling that j2 didn't attend the 'Seen but not Heard' faculty of moderatorship, but was rather schooled at the 'Look at me, you cunts, I've got a fucking BADGE now' center of middle-management preparation.

[GepperRankins]

pissing stupid thing wont connect so tever

[thewizeard]

I could help, if I knew what you are tring to connect with (WinMx?) and what nick you're using..this one I suppose..I will add it to teh list :)

[thewizeard]

WTF..on the second page..it's still online by the way yesterday we reached over 1000 users 1147, to be exact.. I noticed jetje found his way to it..so I made him mod on the server..hehe so if you need help ;; you can always message him ( Don't dont use the FST pm service for your messages, the FileSharingTalk filesharing server has all that)
These are the last stats of the new FST servers I will showthem here for the last time , as otherwise I might run into trouble with cheese or manker..when I visit Plymouth later this year...

*erm...regarding moderation...you may move this thread, if you want to.. to..Movies? :)

** minimum share on the server at the moment is 3 files and..12 Mbs **

[thewizeard]

*bump Should I continue to bump this thread, or have it moved to, "Funny Stuff" ( Drawing Room ) forum ;)

It's growing astronomically,

[21:45:02]: <Filesharingtalk.mensap2p.com> Maximum users: 1289 local, 1888 network.

The new network will be needing a couple of modulators soon; with far reaching powers, if it carries on like this.

Now once Paul has fixed Klite :w00t: so it connects to the the FST network too, there is a potential for up to 23 million connections ......

http://www.mensap2p.com//Rafi/wizeard.jpg

[thewizeard]

with nearly 2000 users online, 3 million shared files and 150,000 gigas data , I just thought you should know, that the new FileSharingTalk filesharing network, is passing a milestone and maybe this evening reach the top of the list you see below..

http://www.gotnap.com/index.php?loc=list


:rolleyes:

[JPaul]

What is it but.

[thewizeard]

It is but a File-Sharing Network thats heading to the top...



http://www.mensap2p.com//Rafi/FreeLans/TOPlist.jpg



2196 user are now logged in, sharing 3300000 files and thats good for 170,000 GB

at this very moment click here http://www.gotnap.com/index.php?loc=list

[JPaul]

Yeah but how do you use it.

[thewizeard]

That's simple. First though, one needs to download a client. One very similar to the SoulSeek client, is Lopster. It has similar complete folder downloading capabilities and can be extremely fast, if one allows it's to multi-source. The interface is fairly user friendly and if you are used to SoulSeek, it's a walk over. It has also IRC functionality and is basically rooted in Linux..

I have created a visual guide for it. Here...

http://z15.invisionfree.com/Imagine_If/index.php?showtopic=21

It's all free. What is on offer ? A modest number of privately run networks of file-sharing servers. where you can download, films, mp3, E-Books, CD images applications and more. One may also create private custom chat channels (on FST network) or just join the main chat or not...

The Lopster client has also it's own help and development forum here http://lopster.sourceforge.net/ and is open-sourced

The only downside I can think of is... you might meet me :)

[JPaul]

Meeting you would be a bonus mate.

[thewizeard]

This is the download link for windows http://sourceforge.net/projects/winlop/

[JPaul]

Cheers, Willdo.

[thewizeard]

Meeting you would be a bonus mate.

It would be more than a bonus for me to meet you, m8

[JPaul]

I've downloaded the program and installed it. Tried to use your guide, but the phoaties aren't there so I'm struggling to get it set up properly.

I'm probably missing something really obvious, as you know I'm shite at setting things up if they involve any actual thinking.

[thewizeard]

If you let me know exactly where you are "stalled" I will probably be able to help

:smartass: <--- not really, but if you have stalled around the area of finding a server(mine :) ) to connect to...then I can help. Sharing files is not the problem as you and more here from the lounge are already on the server's "friends list" this means you are exempt from sharing files... and can always log on, even when the server had reached it's max_users... which is at the moment is set to 1000

[JPaul]

When I log on at first i get the message, "Could not open library".

When I close that it tells me I am not connected.

[thewizeard]

Ok , so you managed to configure your library, and when you click on that tab you see all your files.

Now also it would appear, you have found the server address to connect to( first tab), there are 6 possible servers you may choose from. Also the "Mensa" servers... If you agree thats where you are.. then try now to connect, I will watch the console and see if I can see this nick JPaul(?) attemting to log in. :) Coffee or whiskey is available in the main chat the Round_Table :)

This is the nick as listed in our friends list jpaul , capitals (JPaul) can be used to

[JPaul]

No, when I click on the Library tab it shows as empty. Also I can't see any servers and I can't add any.

Do I need to forward any ports, is that maybe the problem.

[JPaul]

Right I've worked out the library thing. It's how to get connected I need to know.

[thewizeard]

The ports you don't need to adjust just yet. Unshare any files you may have attempted to share, or don't share any yet.. Like SoulSeek, Lopster uses the right click option. Click on the Server tab, top left, a window will/should open, you may or may not see a list of servers. If we begin with the null option, then right click on that page, and you should see a menu open ... On top of the options, you should see "refresh"try that first..it should then try to connect to Gotnap to retrieve a list of servers, automatically. The window should fill up now with a list of networks and individual servers, that form the networks. It's once more a right click job on any server but try FileSharingTalk.mensap2p.com as that's the Flagship :) I can see in the console right now every connection attempt, succesfull or failed ..and yes, rossco and SnnY are also in the "list" :)

You can also manually add the name of the server I showed you just now...

Top Left..in Lopster on the SERVER page, type FileSharinTalk , then go to the left and fill in the server address I gave you above, just change the port in the default view, from 8888 to say 2007 or ..3456 . Right click on the server of your choice and choose connect :)



I will keep an eye open ..

[JPaul]

Connected.

Will have to have a play now, then come back to you when I can't work stuff out.

[thewizeard]

nice..then I will hide the whiskey and hagis... :)

[JPaul]

:lol:

I've made the music directory available just now. However that will take a wee while to index. It used to take ages when one did it as first with soulseek.

Is there a way to browse other people's files or is it simply the search function.

[JPaul]

So you can see what I'm searching for, downloading etc.

[thewizeard]

Yes, you..right click on the user. and choose "Browse Files"from the menu...That works great if you join a chat channel
If you Search a file, and find a user sharing something you like..then you can try this, start a file by him/her, go to the download window, right click on the users nick..a menu will open...then something like, "browse files "depending on what language pack you use. A Scottish language pack "Pictish"will be released soon, I heard...

[thewizeard]

Well you made it into the Round_Table chat JPaul :) My excuses for our house bot Obscene_Messiah .. as we mentioned, we are still working on his "manners script"

[thewizeard]

http://www.mensap2p.com//Rafi/SP32-20070327-222116.jpg

FileSharingTalk network were second largest network today behind the largest Amber...who knows maybe tomorrow we are the largest...

[Alien5]

maybe one day i'll understand this thread :(

[thewizeard]

Thanks I really appreciate you saying that :)

Please remain patient.

basically what you see..a couple of weeks ago I started, for a laugh ( Spring!) a file sharing server with said name. Users like you can log in download and share their files...right..

Now what you see is a list.. with a few names showing some filesharing networks , Amber..below that you will notice FileSharingTalk network. Well... in two weeks, roughly, we have climbed from bottom to nearly the top... At the peak hour,this evening which is 22: 00 GMT we had 2200 users sharing nearly 200,000 gigs..and thats a lot of DVd's...

some more stats fresh from the server..

Can you give me the URL..it's possible you have stumbled across the developers forum..I will need to check once you are logged in. Some forums,like here at FST, you need to be logged in to see...but I am guessing now.. Clear your cookies and and refresh it and try asin.

One more thing. you have a higher rang on mensa.p2tp.com now..not a moderator..but with just as many powers..in fact more.
