Seems to be a feature of the Ubuntu(Debian)-compiler (?) to protect from buffer
overflow. I'm not sure about that. Maybe a bug in entropy.

Did you compile Entropy with gcc4.*? Then some errors may occur.
Use gcc3.* instead of 4.*

It seems to me that you only have outbound connections, but no inbound.
That is of course not normal and the reason for missing data transfer.

> Is this normal, cause Entropy is not used that much?

First you should get some stable inbound and outbound connections.
You can see it in "peers.html". At the moment 4 to 6 nodes should be reached.

A reason for missing inbound connections could be a firewall or router.
Try forum search with "incomming" or "no connection".

If you have the connections it will maybe take some time to get the first
content because you have an empty store and your node needs to collect some
keys first.

Try gpl2.txt first from the gateway site then Entropy Engine (Edition 4).
If you can't get it with the first try, let the browser reload it several
times in background.
