I downloaded Daphne and inserted my dragons lair 1 & 2 disks and it auto downloaded everything and it was working great. Then something happened and now it tries to auto download the support files again and it just sits there. It's been trying to download for days and now of course the games don't work. What happened? And its there some way I can manually download these support files and fix this situation? I've made no changes to the computer (Windows XP Pro). Like I said, can I download whatever this thing is looking for manually?

The daphne server crashed a few days ago and the bit torrent tracker wasn't working as a result. I just fixed it now that you have brought the issue to my attention.

Thanks for the help, I'm up and running again.

I have the same problem, but the DaphneLoader v1.0-2.2.7 dialog also says:
Status: tracker response was not enclosed in a dictionary as expected

I can't find a solution. Help?

same error for me (OSX) .... could be a program bug?
Or some server disfunction?
6881 is open at 100%

I've just updated to DaphneLoader 1.0-2.2.7 and started seeding with no problems.

Don't know how many people are currently seeding but maybe DaphneLoader has a problem when there are no seeders?

Whose the Brazilian (Paulista??) that's downloading everything twice? I see you connected from your Mac and PC. I seriously hope you intend to seed it all back twice!!!!

The hard drive on the daphne server had filled up, so the database that the tracker was using got stuck. I fixed it yesterday. (that still doesn't solve the problem for Comcast customers though)

I am a Comcast customer. Is there something about Daphne that it matters what ISP you use, maybe the ISP is blocking ports?

I was able to download the support files for DL, DL2, and Space Ace. I bought the Digital Leisure 3 DVD set and was eager to relive my youth and show some younger friends these cool games. Thanks!

Hi,

I have the DVD, etc. The loader is showing:

â€œDownloading Game Support Files, 0 B of 64.00 KiB (0.0%)â€

I managed to get it working. My 6881 port was blocked by my router.

I downloaded all the files, inserted my Dragon's Lair disc, and am now stuck on the 'Downloading Game Support Files, 0 B of 64.00 KiB.' I've let it run for 6hrs with no change.

I did port-forwarding on my router for port 6881 but I still get the pop-up box saying it's blocked and it's a 'SLOW DOWNLOAD..'--however, it also said that when it was downloading all the other original files and it wasn't an issue.

Are there names for the files I need and maybe I can download them elsewhere?

I'm using Daphne Loader v1.0-2.2.5 but haven't updated when it suggests there is an update.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It seems im stuck at "Downloading game support files" for about 9 hours. Is there a way to manually download these files?

I’m having the same issue. I’m stuck on Game downloading support files. It’s been stuck for ove 5 hrs. Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Same here! 9 hours and counting trying to get the support files. I'm stuck in the queued status.

EDIT: Now over 3 days queued :-/

I just launched the Daphne client and I see people connecting and leeching from me... It seems there are just a bunch of leechers on there... no seeders. This is most unfortunate. So there's nothing wrong with the Daphne torrent, it looks like.

That's too bad. I've been waiting over a week just for the support files :-(

I left my client running for a couple days and I did see several people leech from me and finish downloading. I'm wondering if the Seeders indicator is wrong because I saw their % downloaded increase a lot faster than I was uploading... so I suspect there are other Seeders out there.

Well, anyway, I have my client up right now, so if you're having trouble downloading, it may be a blocked port or some other issue on your side.

Later,

Brad
