Thanks for the reply. We checked the hostname to make sure it was 
resolving to the right IP and that wasn't the problem. However, we tried 
it again today with the hostname and everything seemed to work okay, so 
I'm not really sure what was wrong.

One more thing. It's been a while since I've tried to download anything 
off of gnunet and today I gave it a try on my home machine and noticed 
that gnunet-download and gnunet-gtk both use up *a lot* of cpu when 
they're downloading large (300 MB+) files. On my athlon-xp 1700+, both 
will easily use up all my cpu and bog down my system in the process. 
With gnunet-gtk, I can see that there are well over 3000 active requests 
for one file, which I assume is what's eating up all the cpu. Did 
something change in the code in the last six months or so? I've haven't 
had this problem in the past. Any suggestions? Running GNUnet-0.6.6a on 
debian sid.

Thanks again,
Brent
