Re: Error download hostlist

[Guilherme Macedo]

Hi t3sserakt.

Thanks for pointing to the doc. I saw that too. Just asked to be sure, because 
I also have port 2097 opened.

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       
PID/Program name    
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:2086            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      
503/gnunet-service-transport
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:2097            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      
473/gnunet-service-arm
tcp6       0      0 :::2086                 :::*                    LISTEN      
503/gnunet-service-transport
tcp6       0      0 :::2097                 :::*                    LISTEN      
473/gnunet-service-arm

Do you know if 2097 is just for gnunet-arm internal/local control and can be 
closed?
Otherwise, no worries, now with GNUnet fully working I can finally start 
playing :)
Best regards.
