Hi, I have aMule 2.1.3 and Mac OS 10.3.9 Panthera and I have a problem with that applications,' cause my aMule hangs up my mac, nothing is working, even shot down. I have to quit system pushing start button. What is wrong? Bad version's of aMule for that OS? Or I did something wrong in preferences??
Sorry for language mistakes, I'm not english native speaker.
Regards,
Radius.

I agree...I just posted this in BUGS as I was having the same problem.
How long have you been having this issue?
I notice that if I have not been using aMule for very long (any version) on OSX(Panther) I can quit, but then after I successfully connect, which is the whole purpose of aMule....then upon quitting it HANGS....(pinwheels)
In fact, aMule will quit as far as the FINDER is concerned, or what I think, on the top bar, even though it takes a while, but on the TOOL BAR it has the little black arrow which means it is actually still running in the background....I think aMule just doesn't want to quit.
No FORCE QUIT will work, and the computers speed not to mention the whole network is slow because of it...
I agree, this must be a OSX glitch, because nothing should run in the background on OSX.....after you quit it....UNLESS SPECIFIED.
I will keep you posted too, on this issue, and will you keep RESPONSE if you find a solution?
I hope the tech team can find a solution or atleast an option...HARD RESTARTS Are not nice to the computer....BETA apps do this...
not full versions...but again it is FREE.....
once they fix this I will donate... ;D
thanks

Hi djcarpediem,
Could you please check the following preferences (in the general tab):
Prompt on Exit -> enabled; should ask you before quitting, if not there's something wrong
Enable TrayIcon -> disabled; there used to be problems on Mac IIRC
Minimize to TrayIcon -> disabled

thanks I will check this. I did ENABLE the prompt. Right after I emailed I tried aMule again and found that it does quit it just takes a while.
Like I said, and I may be guessing here, but the longer you are on aMule (or connected to actual sources) I think this makes a difference.
Then it dawned on me. The times I was not downloading anything YET...I was only uploading, aMule quits quickly, and the network is up to speed. Like I said I could be spec on this, but I wish a programmer could verify my hypothesis.
I guess that aMule quits, but, then it has a window of time that it FINISHES either DOWNLOADING what it is actually on(the part?)
or the Upload?(the part) am I possibly correct? For, I can't see it waiting to UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD everything, but there is something going on under the hood so to speak that DELAYS the FULL quit, and I was able to check aMule down in the DOCK, and the little black arrow was in fact gone! where as before I was assuming that it had frozen or was hanging....it was just super super slow, and for most people who QUIT using the DOCK, it never takes this long, and the PINWHEEL is a sign that something is wrong....I wish the pinwheel would tell you, but there are other FINDER apps to help you to monitor what is going on....I just don't know exactly what I am looking for...
After you close or QUIT aMule, does this not allow people to access your computer? Or do they have to access it via the network?
I don't like to keep turning ON and OFF and changing my FIREWALL and router settings...
but I would like to FEEL SECURE, even if I am on a Macintosh...
Thanks again, for the aMule, help!

Hi,
aMule will not finish to download/upload something, but it will in fact save the part files (unfinished files). This might take a while on a slow computer with a slow hdd.
It will not allow people to connect to your computer, but there might be people trying to connect to your closed aMule as they are unaware of this.
