Title: Waiting forever
Post by: Etaoin Shdrlu on September 11, 2006, 08:19:34 PM

Hi all,

I am newbie

I have just installed amule (and xmule) on a Mandriva-Linux 2006.
I got my first download ok. But since then, I just get waiting, forever.

I have been searching in xmule forum and got an old thread: they
talked about removign cryptkey.dat and changing IP if possible.
But I couldn't. It seems it is bad setting and probably I am getting banned.

The last post is quite recent (jul 2006) and speaks as if someone
found a solution here. But where?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance, and I beg you all your pardon if this is an old newbie thread

Maybe this (http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?threadid=1090) is helpful. :)

thank you very much Lionel

Is the link correct? That is what I got:

----------
Ciao,nel menù preferenze le etichette potrebbero essere messe una sopra l'altra in questo modo:

Generale Connessione Server File Cartelle
Statistiche Notifica Tweaks Abbandona le sorgenti

Così se in futuro doveste aggiungere nuove etichette,per nuove funzionalità, sarebbe,a mio avviso, più leggibile il menù preferenze,e senza le frecce sinistra e destra,meno scomodo.

-----------

That is italian, isn't it?
I don't get the point

hey looks like lionel got the wrong post ;)

anyway do you have a high or low ID ? you can check this by looking at the little earth on the bottum right corner

yellow = low
green = high

make sure you have the kad network enabled in prefs

also maybe this wiki page will help you :)

also one last point, either use x or a mule they kinda dont like each other :)

Thanks a lot stefanero

I'm getting used to that stuff. And things are getting improved.

I got high id and now I am downloading and uploading files. I am also learning
how to understand the screen (sources, priorities and the like)

BTW, I choose amule, definetively.

thanks

Oops, must have linked to the wrong thread -- sorry about that. Anyway, looks like stefanero has already put you on the right track. For further information, you might also want to have a look at the Getting Started guide (http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started) and the aMule FAQ (http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ_aMule). :)
