Title: newbie with a bad connection
Post by: peter de querville on January 21, 2007, 11:49:52 AM

hello i am new with amule and the ed2k network. i installed amule without any problem, and it works. but my globe rightunder in my screen is marked with an red and yellow  arrow, wich means my id isn't correctly compiled.

my preferences:

udp: 10010
tcp: 25600
maximal upload: 11 kB/s (my pc is not that fast)
maximal download: 180 kB/s

maximal sources: 94

i also cannot connect to the kademlia network. i readed somewhere that i need to bootstrap to a friend or something but i don't understand how to do that, and i need an ip-adress for that
can somebody help me? thanks already

Well, if you are using version 2.1.0, you should first install 2.1.3, or even better, a cvs tarball.

For aMule 2.1.3, go here:
http://www.amule.org/files/download.php?file=160

For aMule-CVS, go here:

For a How-To compile and lots of other information, go here:

Cheers!

Ubuntu is not always using the newest version of an application and if an application is considered less important it is common not to upgrade it.
But there is a 2.1.3-package in dapper-backports which you should install.

do not worry about credits, they are stored in the other people's computers, so they are fine., You should just keep your aMule configuration, which lives on ~/.aMule folder, so updating aMule's version will not affect that.

Regards.
