Would appreciate it if someone could help me!...

why would u upload ur client.class into ur vps? i hope u know what a vps is. whats wrong with ur auto cache

Code:

File f = new File("C:\Cache.zip");
if(!(f.exists())) {
try
     {
        long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
 
        System.out.println("Connecting to site...\n");
 
        URL url = new URL("http://www.dropbox.com/blahblahblahblah");
        url.openConnection();
        InputStream reader = url.openStream();
        FileOutputStream writer = new FileOutputStream("C:/Cache.zip");
        byte[] buffer = new byte[153600];
        int totalBytesRead = 0;
        int bytesRead = 0;
 
        System.out.println("Reading ZIP file 150KB at a time.\n");
 
        while ((bytesRead = reader.read(buffer)) > 0)
        {  
           writer.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
           buffer = new byte[153600];
           totalBytesRead += bytesRead;
        }
 
        long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
 
        System.out.println("Done. " + (new Integer(totalBytesRead).toString()) + " bytes read (" + (new Long(endTime - startTime).toString()) + " millseconds).\n");
        writer.close();
        reader.close();
     }
     catch (MalformedURLException e)
     {
        e.printStackTrace();
     }
     catch (IOException e)
     {
        e.printStackTrace();
     }
} else {
 System.out.println("Cache exists, no need to Download it.");
}

But I think your problem is you haven't made any changes to the client, and just expected it to work for you (As it would seem from your post), so this wouldn't help you at all in that case.
1) The cache URL might not exist anymore (Usually when you download clients, the previous Cache URL goes down after some time)
2) People are trying to connect to your VPS, which doesn't have the server files on it (As it would seem from your post) - Why are you trying to upload Client.class to your VPS?
3) The IP the client is connecting to isn't your own (You haven't edited it)
Probably one of the three that is your problem.

No, the cache url download exists because i made , it, it just doesnt download and the screen sits black. The IP is mine,

Where did you upload your cache.

Post your client here

My friend gave me his 317 server cause his cachedownloader works, but it keeps putting the cache in my documents and settings folder, and i dont think the client has the correct path to load it from to run the server

public static String findcachedir() {
File file = new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Process-PK/");
if (!file.exists()) {
if (!file.mkdir())
return sencondDir();
}
return System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Process-PK/";
}

whats with the
public static String findcachedir() {
File file = new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Process-PK/");
if (!file.exists()) {
if (!file.mkdir())
return sencondDir();
}

is that where its extracting to?

That's where is locates it and creates some cache files.

Put your cache in user.home directory.

Do you have this in client.java?

Code:

new CacheDownloader(this).downloadCache();
