Hello everyone,
First of all let me thank all those working on the amule project. I've been now using it for some time and it works just fine.
My question:
I've unfortunately shreded a downloaded file that can't be find that easily. I was wondering since amule knows when I have already downloaded a file is there anyway, knowing some key words of the file, to find the ed2k link or perhaps the exact file name? is this info stored in some sort of file?
Thanks in advance
-
If you search and find a file that amule has already downloaded, it will be highlighted in your search results, provided you have not erased your known.met file.
Regards.

Thank you for your reply skolnick.
The problem is that I can't find the file with amule's search function. I need to get the ed2k link but I can't view the known.met file. What editor to you use to view the content of the .met file?
Thanks again
-
There is no such viewer. I made one, but it's written in java. If you want it anyway, I can give it to you.
Regards.
-
Thank you for answer skolnick. I tried to track the link but still no success.
If it isn't to much work, it would be very helpfull to use your java viewer to find the link.
Regards,
Fred

good, I'll look for it, and when found, I'll post it here as an attachment. If I forget about it, then PM me.
Regards.

Thanks skolnick. I appreciate this a lot.

Hi there skolnick, I was wondoring what the status on the java viewer is.
I hope I don't sound too pushy, I know you have a lot to do :)
Best Regards,
Fred

Hi!
Sorry, just as I foretold, I forgot :(. Attached you will find the jar file of my software, run it like this:
java -jar javaMet.jar
it will display the contents of a server.met, known.met or part.met file. It will not let you modify anything, just show.
Hope it helps. If you have any difficult time with it, please PM me, since this software is pretty offtopic here.
Regards.
Edit: I had to change the extension of the file to .zip, just change it back to .jar and use it as I explained to you.
-
Thanks skolnick for posting your software.
I tried right away and had a problem viewing the content.
I go under know.met, opent "know.met" file and the terminal shows me hash codes and also this:
INFO: This should have never happened! b_tagType=90 //sometimes 90 or 103, 115, 123 or someting else.
Anyway when loading is finished I don't see any content
/.aMule/known.met
Header = empty field
Number of items = empty field
Know Files = empty field
Anything I could have overseen?
thank in advance
[edit]
tried to open a server.met and a part.met file and it worked right away
-
Sorry, it seems to be a bug in my software...you see, it's not finished as you can see. Sorry, I though it would be useful for you, but it seems not :( Did you try looking through all the messages it throws to console? there are lots of debug messages, and IIRC, it throws also the name of the files it finds in the known.met file.
You can help me improve the software. If you want, please send me (maybe attach it here) the known.met file that produced this error, so I can correct the bug. Compress it in winzip first, so the forum lets you attach the file.
Regards.

Hi,
I saved the terminal ouput and made a .zip file with the know.met file + terminal output. If there's anything else I can do just let me know.
Thanks
-
Thanks, I'll take a look at it.
Regards.
Edit: There was no known.met file, just the console output. Maybe you forgot to add it?
-
Sorry my bad, uploaded the wrong file ;D
The terminal ouput is the right file though.
Here's the know.met

Hi!
I tested your file and found (and possibly fixed) the bug that happened to you. Please test this new version of the software, and tell me if it suits to your needs.
Regards.

Nice work skolnick. Ran the program and it loaded the .met straight up; displayed everything just fine. One thing though I don't how long you've worked with it but in my case the programm crashes after 5 minutes or so. I'll install the latest updates on my OS tomorrow and let yout know if that helped.
Anyway thank you for the time you've put into this.
Best Regards,
Fred

Hi
I'm glad it worked for you, at least 5 minutes :P.I have not worked much in it. It has huge room for optimizations and improvements, since it was born simply as a test software to help me understand the structure of the files used by aMule. . I have coded a bit these last days (added column sorting among other couple of things). It's strange that crashes, however, since it does nothing but read the files and close them...when does it crash? after loading many files? is there a specific file which crashes it all the time? maybe you could help me improve this, so it could be useful for more people.
Regards.
Edit: Are you using the SUN JRE to run the software? or the GNU java? I have used always the SUN JRE 1.5.0, and have not experienced any crash.
-
Hi there again.
I must apologize for not posting this sooner but I've encountered some problems with my isp.
Anyway I did install Sun's JRE and your software works like a charm. Only takes a second to load files and did not crash once :D
Thanks again for all the time you've put into this.
Best Regards,
Fred

Hi Skolnick
I used your little program. Thanks!
Is there any order to the order in which the known files are displayed in? Is it possible to have them arranged by date? That would be extremely useful!
Thanks very much!
Justin
P.S. And is the date displayed, the date the file was created, or the date it was downloaded? Thanks!
