I tried again a download today with the last update fromc CVS :
I always have a lot of download stuck at 0% (very very small files of 100
bytes each )
    
For the first time I have one of my download stuck at 40% (a large mp3 file).
But sometimes after I got a "Segmentation fault" on gnunet-gtk client.

I have not entered this bug because I do not think that any programmer can
do anything with such a fuzzy information (no trace, no way to reproduce,
no idea of the reason...).
      
      
How is it possible to help debug  ? is it possible to run this software under
a debugger ?
Or have a post mortem dump usefull to someone ?
      
I think that a good way to enter into a new project that you do not know
anything about is
- Read documentation if any (so I will read the various papers published
on the net)
- Read the existing code (not always very easy)
- Try to get informations from guru people (if they ave some time to spend
with a newbie)
- Run the software under a debugger to try to understant how it works (or
is supposed to)
- Try to fix small problems not located in the kernel of the project nor
tied with a design problem.

I would like also to play with a debugger. For example with gnunet-insert-mp3,
and try to see if I can understand something with the bug wich extact keywords
from mp3 files.. (for example).
How do you (you gnunet people) debug and develop gnunetd and/or clients ?
