1. How to connect to other serversChoose "File->New connection..." and type in the name of the server. Or, choose "Trackers->Manage trackers..." and connect to a server on that list by doubleclicking.
Maybe you accidentally turned on debugging output (see "Help->Toggle debugging output"). This causes rl to throttle file transfers to approx. 10K/s. Get a HOTLINE.DAT icon file (for PC) and put it in the directory ~/.redlight (see Where does rl put its stuff? ). Also make sure that the option "Show user icons" in the Options dialog is enabled.
That depends. On Windows 9x, everything goes into C:\WINDOWS\.redlight. On Windows 2000, everything goes into C:\Documents and Settings\username\.redlight. On Unix, in ~/.redlight. On MacOS X, in /Users/username/.redlight.
rl understands the .hbm format which most Hotline clients use to store their bookmarks. So, usually, you can simply copy your existing bookmarks to the ~/.redlight/Bookmarks directory, and they will show up in the "Bookmarks" menu.
Use /me is sleeping. Select the files you want to view, then right click to open a context menu. There's an option to view the selected files there.
Go to that server and select "Bookmarks->Set current site as home". If you want to connect to multiple servers, use the commandline. rl accepts bookmark files and hostnames as commandline arguments.
Close all open connections and select "Bookmarks->Set current site as home" from the Bookmarks menu.
To add a tracker, enter it's name in the lower text input field and press return. To switch between trackers, click the down arrow and select from the popup menu. Throw away the file "rl.conf" (see Where does rl put its stuff? ).
