Hi Wayne, I belive GCJ is what Eclipse runs off by default on Ubuntu, but my registered JVM at the time was Sun’s 1.5 (it’s now 1.6). Platform is Ubuntu, but regrettably I won’t be able to debug as I’ve just reverted to a prior instance and removed all of the offending plugins. Apologies.

Hi Stephen. The gnu package has me curious. Are you running GCJ? It looks like an XML configuration file for the PDT (PHP Development Tools) has a unsupported doctype or something. What platform are you running on? What JVM are you using? I’d like to chase this one down…

Hey Stephen,

The FeedFlare you’ve selected and set up for use in the feed are correctly configured. The main problem with the Comments Count FeedFlare is ours; we don’t make it nearly apparent enough that your original source feed must be using the wfw:comments namespace elements in order to power its display. (Without these elements in the feed, it simply doesn’t appear.) I do see the Save to del.icio.us link appearing in your feed now, however.

We should update the on-page listing of that FeedFlare to make it much clearer that wfw:comments is required. If we can help with anything else, just shoot us a note at feedback AT feedburner.com and we’ll dig deeper!

No problem - you’re not the first person to make that mistake. Web browsers and other file transfer utililities tend to use kbytes / sec (since file sizes are always in bytes) but we’re considering switching the status display to kbits/sec in the future since that’s what users tend to associate with their Internet connection.

Jungle Dave: ah, outstanding - thanks so much for the clarification. should have figured it was bad math on my end. might be useful, however, in future versions to do that conversion for stupid users like myself

Wayne: sorry, didn’t mean to say that it was definitely PyDev that caused the problem, just that that was when the problem first occurred.

Here’s one error from trying to load a PHP perspective:

Hi Stephen. The Eclipse Package Management problem is curious. The PyDev feature lists only the Eclipse SDK as a prerequisite. For kicks I set up a Python environment, accessing only the PyDev update site, and everything loaded and just worked.

I will try to determine if there are any bizarre conflicts between PyDev and the other features you mention.

In the meantime, can you provide some specifics? What messages are you getting? What packages are missing?

Just a note on the Jungle Disk upload speed - Jungle Disk quotes upload/download speeds in kilobytes/sec (KB/sec) - the same units used by most web browsers.
The speed for most Internet connections is rated in kilobits/sec (kb/sec).
Since 1KB/sec=8kbits/sec, you are actually getting 696kbits/sec upstream, or close to your (observed) maximum.

Of course, that doesn’t change the time estimate required for upload. 6 days may seem like a while, but I assume you’re just doing an initial upload and only new/changed files will be uploaded in the future - which will likely take much less time unless you modify 45GB of files per week.

The initial backup of my home machine took 4 days, but my nightly backup usually runs in under 5 minutes now.
