Dear friend. thanks for your testing rapidshare download. But sorry to say that... Have problem with your perl script may be. Or can't understand. When I type that shell command then perl script tell unknown shell command. so please provide exactly shell command or please provide with pic... thanks

Hi,

I would like to try install slimrat on freenas (www.freenas.org) which is lite freebsd-based NAS distribution. Can you advise me which modules shall be installed on freebsd to use slimrat in command line mode only (without GTK/X11)? Thanks

Igor

You are missing one dependency: libspiffy-perl is needed for the GUI version.

I installed slimrat. I can open the program, put my rapid link and then click the download button (the one that looks like play) However, then it doesnt start downloading. The program shuts down (at least it disappears from the screen) and nothing happens. I checked the download folder to see if it downoaded but no.

What am I doing wrong? I am using XUBUNTU 8.04

i install on windows and get error cpan>"install Getopt::Long, LWP::UserAgent?, Term::ANSIColor, WWW::Mechanize" Catching error: "Can't locate object method \"Mechanize\" via package \"install Getopt::Long, LWP::UserAgent?, Term::ANSIColor, WWW\" (perhaps you forgot to load

\"install Getopt::Long, LWP::UserAgent?, Term::ANSIColor, WWW\"?) at C:/strawber

line 359
CPAN::shell() called at C:\strawberry\perl\bin\cpan.bat line 208
How does i resolve this problem ???

Comment by premysl.vyhnal, May 17, 2009

muhammadmukhlisin: I dont know, try it without the quotes, or run just cpan and type that command (install ...)

Comment by premysl.vyhnal, May 17, 2009

ozcelikov: Some missing dependency? Check config file too.

Comment by valanthe86, Jun 01, 2009

coll stuff :)

Comment by rimenx, Jul 26, 2009

what is the command for starting the application or where should icon be placed after installation, cause I really have no idea how to start it... (what can I say, Rookie I am)

Comment by premysl.vyhnal, Jul 26, 2009

rimenx: if you made symlinks as described on this page, You can run it with 'slimrat' or 'slimrat-gui' command. If not and you are in directory where you unpacked it, run './slimrat'

Great work mate. I'm always looking for little gems like this one to run on my headless servers.

Comment by keyosjc, Sep 13, 2009

In CLI version, how do I see downloads progress without ls'ing the files?

Comment by bymenda, Sep 20, 2009

Please, include in the installation instructions that asciiwiew is needed.

In Debian/Ubuntu: $ sudo apt-get install aview

Thanks for this fantastic app!

Comment by tim.besard, Sep 27, 2009

@keyosjc: this is a standard feature in the upcoming release.

bymenda: thanks, I'll add it.
