Troubleshooting

I can not connect to the P-Grid network

P-Grid is a new Peer-to-Peer system without an existing public network and without a public P-Grid bootstrap host (www.p-grid.org:1805). Please read the network setup to create your own P-Grid network.

All hosts in my P-Grid network are replicas of each other

A P-Grid tree can only be build-up if the amount of shared files of all participating peers is greater than a constant hard-coded in the Gridella source code. The constant can not be changed currently, but sharing at least 100 files per peer is usually enough to create a P-Grid tree. For further details read the network setup section.

I can not open my shared files with Gridella

You may not have specified a program for the given file format. Please read the configuration files section for further instructions.

I have files in my shared directory but Gridella can not find them

Verify that you have specified the correct path name for your shared directory (see the configuration section for further instructions), and make sure that you have used forward slashes (/) instead of (\) in the path. If not all file-extensions are shared, make sure that the file-extensions of the shared files are in the list of shared file-extensions.
Some file-extensions are blocked by Gridella and can not be shared to disable the distribution of possibly copyright-protected content.

I changed/removed my shared files but they can still be found in the P-Grid network

P-Grid is a Peer-to-Peer system based on a distributed hash table. Shared files stay at sharing peers but may be managed by different peer(s). P-Grid currently supports no update or removing of previously shared files. Therefore once shared files can be found even after they are not shared anymore. The download of these files is not possible.
