Momentarily brushing aside the fact that some (like Zeus) hate people with macs (and I dont mean just the macs, actually the people who have them), I would require some help in ironing out the connectivity issues with the Shakespeer + Stunnel - solution.

So here's the deal, installed stunnel from source:

Code: Select all

 me$ stunnel -version 
stunnel 4.24 on i686-apple-darwin9.2.0 with OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006
Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP
 
Global options
debug           = 5
pid             = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid
RNDbytes        = 64
RNDfile         = /dev/urandom
RNDoverwrite    = yes
 
Service-level options
cert            = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
ciphers         = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH
key             = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
session         = 300 seconds
stack           = 65536 bytes
sslVersion      = SSLv3 for client, all for server
TIMEOUTbusy     = 300 seconds
TIMEOUTclose    = 60 seconds
TIMEOUTconnect  = 10 seconds
TIMEOUTidle     = 43200 seconds
verify          = none

OK,

the stunnel configuration file from twofo website is at :

Code: Select all

 /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf

And I have changed the port to something different. Now running

Code: Select all

 sudo stunnel3

(for some reason its called stunnel3, instead of stunnel4) gives the following:

Code: Select all

And running

Code: Select all

 sudo stunnel

gives nothing in the terminal, and the following output in console (where there are logs)

Code: Select all

....

if I remove the [twofo] - line after Service-level configuration and run stunnel3, I get messages as above, but it tells me that inetd-mode doesnt accept connections. If I then comment the "accept"-line, it actually makes a connection, but obviously I then am not able to connect to localhost:8000 with Shakespeer/anything.

Any ideas ?

What have you actually got in your stunnel.conf file as it is connecting there to something called 'wofo' rather than Twofo as it should be named in the file.

I know a fair number of people have gotten on via Shakespeer this year, however none of them ahve been able to get the thing searching/downloading in active mode for some reason (unrelated to stunnel). Just as a warning

I only hate Macs and Mac Fanboys, if you use a mac and shut up about it I wont mind (one of my best friends is a mac user)

Regardless, isn't it easier to use valknut? I know it's not the prettiest program but it has been working (besides the known filelist bug) so why try to use Shakespear?

Posted: **Tue May 27, 2008 6:42 pm**

Heya,

well, the reason really is that Valknut, in its compiled distribution, currently only exists for PPC. The nightly build is universal, and therefore somewhat snappier, but it's buggy.

And I was joking about your mac-hate. Everyone hates computer fanboys, be it on either side of the mac-pc divide.

So finding a way with Shakespeer would be nice. And it's also a great way to avoid studying for exams...

Also, I personally have had problems with the Valknut hash-list, so eg. Rampage can not download from me (he sees 0b shared out of 440Gb), which has grave consequences when getting kicked off the hub is concerned. I don't blame him for being mr. zeal, but hashing does seem to take forever on my machine, and I was hoping Shakespeer could prove a solution...

I'll get back once I do some more testing.

Well, if prior warning is given I'm sure a 24 hour grace period can be granted.

Posted: **Tue May 27, 2008 8:14 pm**

Macs are crap indeed. Mac users don't really *use* the machine so fail

And regarding stunnel if you are running stunnel3 you need the following to set it up.

Code: Select all

sudo stunnel3 -c -d 8000 -r hub.twofo.co.uk:4146

or

Code: Select all

sudo stunnel -c -d 8000 -r hub.twofo.co.uk:4146

Stunnel4 uses the config file avaibable but stunnel 3 doesn't. Use the following to run stunnel4

Code: Select all

sudo stunnel4

Hope that helps

EDIT: Umm, if the stunnel4 doesn't work try the stunnel3 code not sure which one will work. Also run a this and check how many stunnel conf files there are please.

Code: Select all

locate stunnel.conf

Excuse me, but what known filelist bug?

Anyway, a new version of valknut is about to be released, including a fix for your sharesize being reported as 0 (for a very short time, not during all hashing).

I know uploads cannot be started during refresh, but your filelist can still be accessed. I will look into improving that situation.

Posted: **Wed May 28, 2008 6:35 pm**

well that bug specifically, there's no better term for it since it shouldn't give a share without having hashed it. It's how the other DC clients work.

Posted: **Thu May 29, 2008 2:04 am**

Well,

none of those above commands worked. Cant even remember the output. Here's the link to a new post (make sticky maybe?), which explains how we can just rely on GUI to get things working (...well...apart from compiling Stunnel) !
