I'll submit this shortly in both our names, how's that ;=)

Just curious: did you compile this on dsl, or (I suspect) another system?

You made the debs with checkinstall?

Compiled on Woody with checkinstall, and things compiled on Woody seem to fit right into DSL for me. I am still learning on how to make a proper deb as well as a dsl, but it is slowly coming. Thanks for your help.

As the GWebCache options have quite old servers I had trouble getting Mutella to work.
I got it working pretty good by changing those hosts with new ones.
Here's a list of some Gnutella Web Caches: http://gcachescan.jonatkins.com

That's where I got the gwebcaches that my startup script sets in mutella - see the info file.

Is the startup script is working for you? Of course there could be a new top 3 webcaches on the jonatkins site by now ...

I thought of writing a perl script to autoextract the top 3 webcaches from that site and set them in the config file on startup, but seem overkill in the light of gtk-gnutella.

Mutella works perfectly for me, has a nice friendly web interface, and it connects to the network in a second or two. Two of the three web caches in the default mutellarc file have a score of 100 on the jonatkins site and the third has a score of 95. Maybe the issue Zucca is dealing with is location. I do not know how much location plays a part in choosing web caches, but for me it makes a big difference in choosind Debian servers. Internap is like greased lightning near Atlanta, but when I am in the mountains, the server in North Carolina is much better. Maybe what entry works fast in one location doesn't work as fast as in another, and a few folks may have to add different web caches. But I think the default entries are good. Just a thought.
