1. Download the Linux version
2. Extract unstopcp from unstopcp.gz
3. chmod +x unstopcp or from the GUI: right click unstopcp > Properties > Permissions > check "Allow executing file as a program" > Close
4. Kubuntu users (or others running KDE) can simply double click unstopcp to launch it. GNOME users may find nothing happens after double clicking. Running unstopcp from the Terminal reveals: unstopcp: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. libqt-mt is the Trolltech Qt library, necessary for running KDE3 apps.
5. Head to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, do a quick search for "libqt3-mt" and install it.
6. Now GNOME users should be able to launch unstopcp successfully:
   
7. Notes:
   • Logging and auto skipping of damaged files can be enabled under the "Settings" tab.
   • Had to launch with sudo in order to copy user files from an OS X HFS+ volume (as permissions are maintained across platforms).
   • To copy directories instead of a single file, put a trailing asterisk in the Source path (see screenshot above), otherwise nothing will be copied.
