run on a different port
 
hi, i am running from behind a proxy which only allows connects from the essential ports such as ftp, telnet, ssh and obviously 8080, basically just web browser stuff.

i have heard that you can rig gnutella to run on one of these ports if you can find a server or two also running on that port.... does anyone know of such servers and also if anyone has modified the source code to do this? if they havnt i expect it shoudnt be a problem to do oneself.

thanks in advance!

It's almost impossible to run Gnutella from behind a proxy. I heard some one managed to run it with HTTPTunnel, but even though he admitted that it wasn't worth the trouble.

Wrong!

If the client supports proxies its not impossible!

gtk-Gnutella supports proxies and Xolox too!

I am no proxy expert but I think its enough to change your port! You should send the developer a mail and ask for support, he is VERY seldom here!

You can enter your proxy (has to be IP address) in the gtk-gnutella configuration. Set the proxy to http and check the 'proxy connections' box, but you'll see what I meant by "not worth the trouble". You get very few results, (25% of what you usually get), downloads are failing quite often and it's hard to keep a connection for a longer time.

Are you using Limewire or now gtk-gnutella?

Limewire has no proxy support!

As a T-Online subscriber I can user their proxy www-proxy.btx.dtag.de : 80 to test things...
