If you should need further assistance setting avdump up visit us on irc://irc.zirc.org/anidb

Note:

If you use a firewall you will have to open a port for avdump first. You can force avdump to use a fixed port with the option -port

Note:

It is possible to run more than one instance of avdump at once, but not more than three will work ok. At the moment only 10 sessions per ip are allowed by the server, meaning the eleventh instance will terminate the first. Also, if you suffer under NAT, running more than one instance will make it worse.
