OK I just downloaded an album from Vuze without a problem.

It just works.

Dave said he would fix it when he got home from work.

I have now tried 64 bit kernel mode and it runs everything fine except it really messes with my mouse. Hopefully Logitech will release an updated driver set and control center soon. I went back to 32 bit kernel since there isn't a big advantage to running the kernel in 64 bit.

I do love the 64 bit apps though. and I find that VMWare Fusion with Windows 7 32 bit as a guest OS runs faster and smoother on Snow Leopard.

Can I get in on the Great Thread Merge Thread?

The Logitech Control Center wouldn't work to program the wheel button to activate Expose/Spaces. Research on the net suggests it is 32/64 bit issue. They recently released an update but it will not install on 10.6. In order to install Logitech's latest mouse/keyboard control center (v3) I had to view the app contents and specifically select the .mpkg to do the install. Even then, no Expose/Spaces support, but it does launch from preferences without any issues.

I always assign my middle mouse button to show Expose, All Windows. In order to make it work I had to assign Expose/Spaces to my F5 key, tell the Keyboard to use F keys instead of special functions, then assign the middle mouse button to F9 (if Expose/Spaces is set to F9 you can't do the assignment in Logitech because it launches Expose), then change keyboard back to use special assignments, then change Expose/Spaces to use F9 for showing All Windows.

In order to use my Safari plugins including AdBlock and Glims I had to change it to 32 bit.

And I didn't change my kernel to boot in 64 bit just yet, stayed with the default of 32 bit. The change isn't complicated, involves a plist change or manually holding down the 6 and 4 key while booting to activate 64 bit. There is a program that will make the plist change for you on CNet.

No other issue yet.

Rick, which mac do you have? Just curious.

It still works, it's just that the speeds aren't as fast if you have port forwarding set up and your Mac firewall enabled and you have to copy the link rather than clicking it.

Did you get an error when clicking the link and have to copy or drag the torrent in?
Do you have port forwarding set up on your router?
Did your connection have a green light?
How was the DL speed?

When i click the link it just starts downloading and i'm not sure what port forwarding is.Everything i've downloaded today has been really fast-faster than it usually is for me. Just grabbed any album to take a screen shot for you, if that helps answer any of the questions you are asking me Europa.

I might try to hackint0shize this tonight.

Bitewound, these issues have to do with port forwarding so if your not using that, you're not going to experience these problems.

I recommend setting up port forwarding to maximize your download speeds. Click view and then look to the far left of the torrent, you'll never get past the yellow smiley face icon if PF isn't set up or isn't set right. It will turn green once working properly and not blocking connections. I'd wait until they fix these problems though.

Thanks, that's why i love this place
