GigaTribe recently modified the Free licence.
Details are available in the news page displayed in the software and on the following web page: http://www.gigatribe.com/en/help-connection-direct-Automatic.
In short:
Users connected with Direct Connection can download any file free.
Users connected through the VPN servers can download up to 2 GB per month free. They may purchase the Ultimate licence for unlimited downloads.
We’re aware of repeated issues for the last days.
We’ve recently installed a new version of the server software managing the connections between users. This server crashes every 8h approximately. After each crash, users who have not been disconnected will be invisible to the others.
We’re working to fix this issue.
Even though we still need to fix significant bugs, we’ve confident that the new version will be way better than all the previous ones.
Thanks again for your patience.
We found that a local GigaTribe folder was involved in the freezing problem.
We’ haven’t identified what is causing the problem but here is the solution to fix it:
- Quit GigaTribe
- Delete the following folder :
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Shalsoft\GigaTribe
Windows Vista/7
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Shalsoft\GigaTribe
- Run GigaTribe
We’ll let you know when we’ve found what has generated the issue.
Best Regards
GT Team
Dear Tribers,
Some of you have reported GigaTribe Freezing shortly after beeing launched.
We believe problem might comes from ‘illegal’ GigaTribe versions which are sending confusing messages to regular versions.
We’ve blocked all PC versions prior to 3.01.006. All users who were connected with the illegal version have been suspended. Suspended accounts can be reactivated by paying the Ultimate version.
If your GigaTribe was freezing, please let us know if the problem is now fixed. Please use the the customer care page to contact us.
Best Regards

Dear GigaTribe users, since the test servers are generating frustration, we’ve add a button on your info page (www.gigatribe.com/en/user-information) to avoid being redirected to the test servers.
The button won’t appear for Ultimate users since they are not redirected to the test servers.
This button will disappear when we release a version where you can select your connection mode (Direct/EasyConnect/Automatic).
Best Regards
