From my understanding, to use Peerio I need to install 3 different pieces of software:

1. GNUP number
2. PT Inspector utility
3. Peerio444 softclient

GNUP and PT Inspector can be downloaded from the GNUP website. Ok, but how do I get the Peerio444 softclient. I've been checking the Peerio website for several months to find download information and it isn't available with no directions or announcemnets as to what the heck is going on.

Peerio may want to check out Skype's simplicity and customer service/web friendliness.

Try uninstalling GNUP and reinstall.

I had problems with the old PT Inspector not properly downloading the Peerio softclient.

It kept telling me something about "The Peerio client will be available in 3 days". If you're getting that message, you need to uninstall PTInspector and reinstall.

Also, simply running the PTinspector and "upgrading" the old version didn't work for me. Had to do a full uninstall.

You can try a "fresh" PC you never installed PTInspector on just to see if that is the issue. - assuming you have a 2nd spare PC or a laptop.

I downloaded and installed the new version as per your post. PTinstpector installs fine, however everytime I run it, it craps out at file 5/8 trying to get the other files, and then tells me I have lost my internet connection.

I took some screenshots, it happened 3 times in a row, so it can't be me.

Wait a minute. Peerio can traverse firewalls? PT is on the record faulting Skype for weakening corporate security because of its ability to traverse firewalls. How ironic.
