I've tested active too but it doesn't work either (but I know it worked 
before under RedHat 8.0). The reason why I'm usually do not use active 
mode is because the search does not work under active mode (I get like 
five hits instead of 100's of hits - is that normal?)

I've now built all the versions 0.85.2 to 0.85.6 (the latest) with the 
appropriate dc_gui2 version (0.73 to 0.77) but none of them have 
download of GDL work under RedHat 9. It is always "Waiting", it never 
switches to "Trying". I've tried manually clicking "Wake this user GDL 
source" when I see there are slots free, but nothing happens. I also 
have "GDL source wake up = When a search result from a wanted user 
contains a free slot" but it doesn't help either.

First I thought that maybe one have to use glib 1.2 and not 2.0 since it 
seems like the default for ./configure have changed between 0.85.2 to 
0.85.3 ... but even when I built against my own build of glib 1.2.10 
(that worked under RedHat 8.0) it does not work (download won't start).

For 0.85.6 it seem not possible to build against glib 1.2, even if I 
give --disable-glib2 or --with-glib-prefix to ./configure it only looks 
for glib 2.0, not glib 1.2. But ./configure --help say it should be 
possible to use glib 1.2, strange I think.

Also dc_gui2 looks a little bit strange under RedHat 9, there are grey 
fields under half of the usernames and around the progress bar under GDL.

Another strange thing is that it now takes very long time, like 7-8 
seconds, to have a GDL to show up after I've chosed "Download" on a 
file. After that it takes about 7-8 seconds before the "Status" switches 
from blank til "0 (0.00%) [0.00B/s]". On RedHat 8.0 it only took a 
second or two.

Is it okey that dctc uses glib 1.2 and dc_gui2 uses glib 2.0 (I suppose 
dc_gui2 must use glib 2.0)?

Any idea what causes "Waiting" to never switch to "Trying"?

Best,
