>Summary: "Locate Servers" feature broken?

Initial Comment:
I'm a former SGI employee and total BZFlag addict. So
it surprised me when I upgraded to 1.7e2 (via apt-get
from the Debian unstable tree) and could no longer use
the "locate servers" feature.

When I do, I get the error "Couldn't open list server
http://groundhog.pair.com/bzflag/list-server.txt" I
have verified that the URL is indeed broken and it's
not some network problem on this end.

In the meantime, it'd be great if someone would post
some alternate URLs on the bzflag.org site. I thought I
could just plug one into the -list option, but after
nearly an hour of searching the site I can't find a
single alternate URL. Help??

Use: bzflag -list default

to set your listserver url to the new value. The old url is
now invalid as the old site is down.

Use: bzflag -list bzflist://209.140.76.229

to use the list server directly without any dns or web
lookup first.

I wonder why your client tries to connect to the URL you
mentioned. The default URL to connect to is

http://BZFlag.SourceForge.net/list-server.txt

Look in your config file (~/.bzflag.<hostname>) for a 'list'
entry and modify or delete it.
