  2. Hello anonymous, I'm sorry you didn't get it working.
    If you give us more details, we can try to help you.

    It would be great if you could tell us your OS, your browser, your java virtual machine version and some detail about your problem.

    Thank you,

  3. I use Windows XP Professional and I use Mozilla SeaMonkey for my browser. i can get past the Directory choosing part but once it starts to download my browser just closes down. I've tried it onIE7 and same thing the browser closes down and gives me that windows error saying send report or not. I've also tried to reinstall the mozilla and that didn't work either.

  5. Hello anonymous, could you please try visiting this site?

    It should display your VM version in the middle of the page.

  6. Hi guys, great work on creating BitLet. However I'm experiencing a very strange bug. I get a torrent URL, past it into BitLet, choose a directory to download it to and let it reach 100%.

    Then I tried finding the file but without any luck. I used Windows Explorer, command prompt, nothing. Tried looking for hidden files and protected system files, but still nothing.

    However, if I fire up BitLet again and try to download a new torrent, the old torrent's directory shows up the the directory choosing popup.

    This is weird!!

    I'm using Vista Home and my Java VM is 1.6.0_05. Do you think you guys can help? I even tried running a full search in the drive for the name of the downloaded file, but nothing... :-(

    Hello, I think the bug you noticed is because on IE 7 with Vista the applet runs in 'protected mode'.
    Basically the file is downloaded in a different place than you expected for *security* reason.
    You could find more infos here.

    Note also that a bug has been already filed to sun and it should be fixed with the release 6u10(b08) of the JRE.

    Swithing out of protected mode I mean... anyway, you got the point!! (for anyone with the same problem, just go to Tools->Internet Options->Security and add the bitlet.org site to the trusted sites and everything will work fine)
