Hi,
Under Windows XP Service Pack 2 (AMD 64 X2 CPU, 1 gigabyte of RAM), XDCC-Fetch doesn't seem work with Ruby 1.8.4-16 preview1 (2006-01-30) and more recent versions including the current 1.8.6-26 Final Release (2007-12-14) to which a link is provided on http://xdccfetch.sourceforge.net/ : double clicking on XDCC-Fetch.rbw doesn't open a window, in fact simply nothing happens.
I tested with Ruby versions 1.8.2-14 Final and 1.8.2-15 Stable Release and then XDCC-Fetch worked fine. In other words, there's something broken since Ruby 1.8.4-16 preview1.
You can find all these versions on http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167
Hope you'll find a way to correct this.
Also, there are some problems with the website. As I don't think filing separate bugs for these would make sense, here's a quick list:
1- The forums at http://www.phpbbserver.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=xdccfetch aren't working, the link redirects to an error page, suggesting a possible lack of activity. How about using sourceforge's mailing-list instead?
2- The latest version, the XDCC-Fetch 1.432, isn't mentioned in the project news at http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdccfetch/ . Lazy webmasters? ;-p
3- Since apparently there's not a huge amount of text in XDCC-Fetch, I'd like to submit two translations. Feel free to send me a message telling how to do that (coding is Chinese to me...)
I've had the same issue, Application didn't start, installed 1.8.2.14 (http://www.oldapps.com/Ruby.php?old_ruby=8#Download) and it's starting now.
Doesn't seem to work for me though, there are no Bots listed in the list and searching doesn't work (probably because those deny XDCC LIST)
