hello Emmanuel,

its not really necessary to make it a package, but i thought this way
other users could benefit from this efford.
here comes a more detailed desrciption of what i did sofar.

i compiled hxd-0.1.33 enabling hotlineserver and exec [to utilize the
find command]. at first everything seemed to work fine except for the
find command.
when i get the userinfo from a user currently downloading i get the foll=
owing:

   name: [removed]
  login: [removed]
address: [removed]
 userid: 
    uid: 3
  color: 2
   icon: 13601

0.00kB of 640.29MB, SPD: 0.00B/s, ETA: 24855d3:14:07s
 - Uploads -

no matter what speeds the user is getting this info always comes up like=
 this.

next thing i installed the readline lib from gnu.org [there is some
readme on vivahx.com about installing hxd on darwin] and tried to compil=
e
enabling the pthread option. this efford returns the following error:

accounts.c

hxd.h:23: pthread.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop.
---------------
then there is another bug/error where a download slot is still recognize=
d
as being used even though the user aborted the download. then the built
in Q enforcement tells the user to only download one at a time [or 2 if
the max downloads is set to 2 and so on].

to recap, i need to get the /find, /broadcast [dunno how to set the
permissions for that, since documentation blows ont his aswell], fix the=

user info and the hanging slots. oh and its currently only using CAP for=

macos binaries and enabling netatalk would be really handy. so you can
have access to the data not only through the server which is pretty slow=

and complicated since you cannot tranfer folders...

i tried the package you made [http://gizmo.minet.net:8080/hxdpkg.tgz] bu=
t
it is only 4k and tar returns the error: 

gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: child returned status 1

i dunno what went wrong here, but maybe you can check the file you put u=
p...

thx for now...
