sammacbeth / dat-fox-helper Goto Github PK

I ran the setup script on MacOS, and the extension test passes. But when I click on a dat:// link in Firefox, a blank tab opens with the URL. Then the page is opened in Beaker Browser.

This character should be removed during folder name sanitisation.

I'm running dat-fox-helper with Firefox 80.0.1 on Peppermint 10 Respin, installed using the Linux installer. I notice that it uses nearly 34G of virtual memory, doing nothing but running in the background, waiting to be useful. This is 10x as much as any other single process running on my computer. Is this normal?

We have a custom Manjaro distribution https://www.tromjaro.com and we want to ship with this DAT feature integrated into Firefox. It would help a lot if there was an AUR package for it. We are decentralizing our websites via DAT and want to ship Firefox + DAT as default. Would you be interested to help us do that? Cheers!

trying to install on windows, but i dont have a datahelper.json?

The following error occurs when I run dat-fox-helper-win.exe, v0.1.0, on Windows 8.1:

internal/buffer.js:53
    throw new ERR_BUFFER_OUT_OF_BOUNDS();
    ^

RangeError [ERR_BUFFER_OUT_OF_BOUNDS]: Attempt to write outside buffer bounds

i downloaded and clicked on dat-fox-helper. exe but dat-fox-helper. exe is running empty endlessly without installing anything except of library folder. anyway, I tried to access dat website from my firefox but it was denied with the error - "The proxy server is refusing connections", what am i doing wrong to fix it?
when i run the test to test the connection it prints "Error: An unexpected error occurred"

*have to note that on regedit the key NativeMessagingHosts was missing(i added it)..

Can you please include a method in your install script to do a clean uninstall of the helper.
Or at least provide instructions somewhere on how to do so manually.

Like for example this one dat://ca85cb3c20ad37649e72b274fc47be5586bd75815b7a90aa19de4a4e7e441908/ - it only shows the text "directory" but no content.

the path to dat-fox-helper on linux is:
chmod +x ~/.local/datfox/dat-fox-helper
and not
chmod +x ~/.local/datfox/dat-fox-helper-linux
:)

1. Open dat://beakerbugs.hashbase.io/

Expected: To see a directory listing with files.

Actual: just the string “Directory /”.
