ipget does not work on Windows 10 ... #82

Closed akobelan closed 3 years ago

akobelan commented 3 years ago

I'm running Windows 10. I also have IPFS Desktop installed. After installing ipget, and then invoking ipget, it hangs and after 30 seconds or so, returns complaining:

C:\Users\username\Desktop\ipget.exe --peers /ip4/10.101.25.16/tcp/4001 --progress QmbjXfUs1wpQyp1hEmFCzdSjHtjZvwsK7ABz8oziq8RXy5

Solved. If you have IPFS Desktop on your machine, rename the directory and the executable so as to replace " " with "_". The space will ruin everything.

Did that, and it now works fine.
