Another Panther Update...
So far after doing some Photoshop and Finder and iPhoto all at the same time, I have found that currentl, Panther has really really bad process management. Photoshop and iPhoto can slow everything to a crawl while in the background and Finder does it even worse. So to make it work all good I had to manually manage the Procsesis. I used the Renice command in the terminal to set the Finder to +20 (lowest priority) Photoshop +19. This way the Huge app and the unstable app will never get in the way of any of my other Apps. They will fix this I'm sure, just a simple matter of redefining default priorities (and fixing this crash tastic finder)
Also, more bad news, those who expected the new Finder to be Cocoa (like me). Your dreams have been shot down. It is still Carbon, sry.

not that anyone seems to give a shit, but I feel it is my duty to report anything I find in Panther of interest.
I created a webdav server via apache as I have done before with Jag. I checked the info of the server after I connected to it. It said I had 2 TB left on it and 2TB total size. That was a weird bug. I am not sure if that is from the server or the client. I am also not sure if Jaguar did this too. Just weird... I wish I had 2 TB

Another update.
I finally got a hold of the Developer tools, I then tried to install wget from source, no go. I then tried the darwin port thing again (last time I tried it couldn't download the stuff it needed) this time it downloaded everything it needed, its just like Fink but much easier and automatic. I installed wget off of it fine. Good job apple and opendarwin.org.
*Edit*
I spoke too soon. Right when I clicked post there was a privileges error, could not put the wget program in the /opt/local/bin directory. So I tried to switch to the root user and run it. No errors, however it still would not run when I typed wget. So then I tried /opt/local/bin/wget and viola it worked. I looked around on the net how to make aliases in the .cshrc (if that is not the right file I don't know wut is) to make it so when i typed wget it would actually type /opt/local/bin/wget. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know as I really need to know how to do this.

Where does one find this "bit torrent" program?
And yes I am actually watching this thread, I'm very interested in Panther
