FAQ
Q. How do I send multiple files (queuing)?
Queuing works if all the CIA's files are in the same folder.
For selecting a CIA to send in queuing, check the little box in the State column.
Q. Is there a trasnfer limit?
The size limit for CIA files appears to be 4.5Gb. You may see error "File size limit reached" if you attempt to transfer file that is over 4.5Gb.
Q. I am getting error "Failed to install from URL" during transfer.
Turn off any Virtual Machines if they are running. Also make sure to check all of your network settings:
- If you have multiple network adapters active, make sure the one you're using has priority.
- Try logging into your router and make sure you don't have any ports blocked by default (opening 5000 and 8080 locally for good measure).
