Welcome to the forum for Electric Sheep users. There's another forum for programmers.

If your client is not downloading sheep, try using BitTorrent and a sheep pack.

You may also check the FAQ. Hopefully you can find the answer to your question faster there than here. The FAQ is part of a larger wiki devoted to the sheep.

Finally, this forum's predecessor ran for seven years. The archives are available as flat static html and browsable cgi as long as the perl stays healthy. Your question may be addressed there as well.

Good luck, -spot
