FunToosh - Funny Gnutella File Sharing Application

Why does FunToosh take so much of time to start ?

It takes a while to initialize FunToosh. Java applications are slow to start than native applications. However, Java programs will work much faster after initialization.
I start FunToosh but nothing happens ?

This generally happens when there is a corrupt Java installation or the Java version is lower than 1.5.0.1. Please reinstall latest Java version or contact your System Administrator to reinstall latest Java version. The minimum requirement is Java1.5.0.1.
FunToosh is not able to connect. What's the problem ?

First of all please activate your internet connection. FunToosh cannot activate your internet connection. Secondly see that you if are behind a firewall then give permission to java.exe to access the internet. Please refer to firewall section to know more about configuring firewalls.

Searching

What kind of files can I search with FunToosh ?

You can search for and share any kind of files including but not limited to audio, video, programs, games, etc. Example types are html, pdf, doc, mp3, avi, jpg, exe, etc.
Why can't I find the file I am looking for ?

The files available on the Gnutella network depend solely on the people sharing files on the Gnutella network. If no relevant searches are available then it means that no one in your horizon is sharing the file.
When does FunToosh stop searching ?

Unlike some other Gnutella clients, FunToosh shows you a status line showing the percent of search complete. A 100% search shows that a search is complete and no more results are to be expected.
The search shows all kinds of files. Why ? This is because we provide you with a on the fly search feature which allows you to filter your search results even when a search is currently on.

Downloading

Why do I see total number of candidates zero ?

This generally happens when you try to download a file which is shared by a single user. For best downloads we recommend you to download files that are shared by large number of hosts. (The number of hosts sharing the file is shown by a plus sign before the file name and a briefcase which bears the actual number of people sharing the file).
Why do the files take so long to download ?

The transfer of a file is dependent on the bandwidth of the downloader as well as the uploader. Thus it could be that your bandwidth is high but the speed of the person downloading the file is low.
What happens to my downloads if I exit ?

FunToosh automatically saves all the downloads in a temporary directory. Thus even after you close FunToosh while downloading a file you can rest assured that the remaining file will automatically be downloaded the next time you open FunToosh.
Is it possible that I might download I virus ?

FunToosh does not maintain any data regarding the files being shared by users of the Gnutella network. Neither do it scans any file before being downloaded or uploaded. FunToosh therefore recommend you to install a good anti-virus for protection against viruses.
Where are my files stored after they have been downloaded? All files downloaded are moved to My Documents->FunToosh Shared->myLibrary. However you can directly access and launch these files from the Library Tab in FunToosh.

Firewall

I am behind a firewall. How do I use FunToosh ?

To use FunToosh when you are behind a firewall provide internet access to java.exe when you are prompted by your firewall. Many firewalls ask to Grant server access as against internet access. In cases where server access is asked please say yes, and in cases where you are asked only for internet access please say yes here also. For more help, please consult your product documentation. Please see that some organizations provide web-only proxy or a SOCKS proxy. In these cases FunToosh might fail to work.
How do I know if I am behind a firewall ?

Generally most organizations are behind some kind of a firewall. Please contact your System Administrator about the type of firewall the organization is using.
What is a push request ? When downloading files you might view push requests. A "push" is a signal sent by your computer to a firewalled computer, which requests that the firewalled computer initiates a file transfer. If your computer is also behind a firewall, the push request will fail.

Memory Profiler

What is this Memory Profiler ?

Memory Profiler is a smart way to keep your PC running smoothly. Memory Profiler keeps a tab on the system memory and keeps a minimum level of free memory available. This increases the speed of your system in general.
Where is the Memory Profiler setting available ?

You can change the settings of the Memory Profiler from Settings->Memory Profiler. However a shortcut is directly available from the icon in the System Tray.

General

Will FunToosh work for multiple users ?

Yes, FunToosh works independently for multiple users, thus providing each user its own library for downloads as well as user themes and configuration.
Each time FunToosh is started it says Java not installed. What should I do ?
