Hi,

this is a file to ensure that you only start aMule once to avoid problems when two aMules are trying to access the same files and ports.

If aMule doesn't shut down properly the file does still exist, but no aMule is running. aMule will then delete the file and create a new one.

I'm not sure if I understand you, can you please explain it again?

the thing is now when i open amule it takes a long time to give me the list of servers and then when i try to go to the window of transferings , it doesn't appear and as well  as for all the others windows, i cannot move through amule anywhere and as well i cannot shut it down and the only way to quit is by forcing it
it is stocked in the first window but the downloads and uploads are still running
i thought it was related to the file mulelock...
thank u

I see that you are using Mac OS X, which version of the OS and of aMule are you using?
