Hi,
I installed amule a couple of days ago. I am running Gentoo, do not worry I installed amule according to the instructions I found on this web site.
Everything is working almost fine (I'll come to this later), but among the files I am downloading is a file which is larger than 2GB. For that file amule is driving crazy. First of all it can not keep a constant d/l speed and secondly (this is the most important) the remaining size does not decrease. I have about 700 MB to d/l (the total size of the file is 2.7GB) and when it stops d/l the remaining size is 731MB and when it starts d/l the remaining size is 747MB and it keeps decreasing.
Now, for example it stopped d/l and the remaining size is 743.40MB.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

If you can't wait then use the CVS version :P

I was thinking of doing that, but since it is only a couple of days .... Well, maybe I will do that :rolleyes:

Ok, I downloaded the cvs version (amule-cvs-20040322). Since it needs libcrypto, I emerged (remember I run Gentoo) crypto++. This is the correct file.
configure run without any problem
and then make gave the following error
g++ -g -o amulecmd amulecmd-TextClient.o amulecmd-MD5Sum.o amulecmd-ECSocket.o -L/home/vasilis/Install/amule//lib -pthread -lwx_base-2.4 -L/usr/lib -lcurl -lz -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lssl -lcrypto -ldl -lcryptopp
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lcryptopp
What is this lcryptopp file?
I downloaded the crypto++ source file and compile it myself. After the compilation was over, I could not find "lcryptopp "
Do I need to do any trick?
Thank you
-
I found what was wrong!!!
-
tell it for other users then :)
-
I installed amule cvs 20040322.
When it started it told me that several *.met files might be corrupted. The second time I started amule it did not say anything about it.
I was observing the remaining size for the file that is greater than 2GB. It was fluctuating. Two minutes after I started amule and while I was download with 50KB the remaining size is 736.28MB and it stopped d/l!!!
Also, if I right click on the file and select "show file details" it says that only 15% is available. When in fact I have ~73% and the progress bar has a dark blue color.
I must be doing something wrong....
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you

You are not going to like it :D
Is Gentoo related....
For some reason, the developers decided to name the libraries crypto++ instead of cryptopp
What can i say :)
-
The remaining size varies in the range 736-743 MB. When it drops below 736 it goes back to 743
-
well.. close amule, delete your known.met file and let amule rehash all the files
-
It keeps saying that 15% of the file is available. Before I closed amule, 736MB were left to be downloaded, when I opened it, 743MB are left.
-
X( It went to 734MB and then it went back to 743MB X(
-
ok, calm down. I'll take a look at it ;)
-
I am not mad with you guys, I am mad with my luck ;(
There is one good thing, however. Minimize to trayicon works fine :))

Hi Master,
I don't think your problem is amule related.
736Mo -> 743 Mo remaining arrives when someone is uploading to you corrupted data.
As the remaining size is given instantaneously it increases when you get data, but when
the uploader stops uploading, amule looks the part and analyzes it as corrupted, then it
drops it.
I am at this time finishing (still 200Mo to go) with cvs a file of 2,7Go beginning with 1.2.6 . Hoping
it will be completed without problem.
But I am sure that a file begun with amule cvs will finish as i tested it on a local config :
- eserver on local 1
- emule 0.42d on local 1 in vmware for uploading a file of 3Go
- amule cvs on local 2
md5 after checking ( just to be sure ) were the same

domino,
I think you have a point, because in the amule log section I read a few messages about corrupted files.
The question is will I ever be able to download the file. It seems to me that I am always getting corrupted files. Actually only a couple of parts of the entire file are corrupted... The other thing is that why these files are corrupted. How is it possible to download these from 7 different sources and all to give corrupted files. Are they truly corrupted or is there a bug in amule?
-
I was having this bug too in 1.2.6 but with latest cvs it's gone ;-)

dom
-
What is the latest cvs?
I have 20040322. I think this is the latest, right?
-
I'm 50Ç% there is a bug on hashing.

How can I help you identify the problem?
-
What is this I.C.H?
Right click on the file and select "show file details" gave the following disturbing message
Lost to corruption: 980MB
Packages saved by I.C.H: 0
Whatever I.C.H is, it does not work
One thing that I do not understand is why I lost so many byte on that file.
-
did you tried to remove known.met from your .aMule folder?
-
Yes, I did

one or two days? please remember to include last translation files :))
PS. for gentoo users... I didn't try but crypto++/cryptopp problem should be solved using portage crypto++ and creating symbolic links
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto++.a /usr/lib/libcryptopp.a
ln -s /usr/include/crypto++ /usr/include/cryptopp
-
I hope I fix the cryptopp / crypto++ stuff before releasing ;)
-
I think the problem with crypto++ is a minor problem.
The important issue here is whether the new vesion of amule can download files larger than 2GB. So far, from my experience I have to say that it can't. I do not know if this is because of corrupted parts or something else, but it just can not download the file
-
dom tested it on a lan Master .. emule -> amule .. it works
-
This means that I am the lucky the person 8)
-
hard to say whats wrong there ..
hum, what if u backup and remove the file , search for it with amule and add to your dl ..
-
I actually deleted the file. Search for it and start again to download it.
The first thing is that although the progress bar is blue, it says that only 15% is available.
Does this mean that I will have the same problem
-
plz pm me the name of that file
-
Just to let you know Master that the 2.7Go file begun with amule 1.2.6 was finished
without prob with amule-cvs :-)
Just to be sure, i erased known.met to rehash the file incoming dir, and it was Ok

Domino, I did that. It did not work.
I have another computer that has windows on it. I am downloading it with emule and then I will try to transfer it to Linux with amule. Maybe it will work, who knows
DeltaHF, I am sending you the pm that you asked me
-
yap , got it. thx
testing now
-
looks good
-
As I wrote, the progress bar is blue, but if you right click and select file details you will see that only 15% of the file is available.
-
maybe it's only a small bug in the file info .. "completed size" seems to be ok here
-
I will let you know in a couple of days
-
With emule I was able to download the file. Now, the problem is this: How can I transfer the file from one computer to the other. I was thinking of using emule and amule for that. But, because both computers are behind a router, they share the same IP address.
Does anybody know how to transfer the file with amule
Thank you
-
if both computers are in the same lan, why donŽt you use samba?
-
Because I want to test whether amule can download files larger than 2GB.
-
hey
you can set up and edonkey server in your local lan and make both clients connect to it....
once they are connected they can share their files and you can lod the 2GB file from the other emule ;)
stefanero
PS you can probably PM citroklar he know how to do it.. if you are not sure
-
He is not online.
Anyway, it is not important. I am downloading the file with a very good speed I "will have it" in about 11 hours.
As I said I am doing all this to check whether I can download a file>2GB
-
2,4 GB completed here till now Master
-
So far, I have downloaded 600MB
It says that you use emule V00. I wander why amule can not recognize amule!!
What I do not understand is why sometimes it stops downloading from a certain source.
I got my first corrupted part, but I.C.H was able to recover.
-
deltaHF, I do not know if you managed to download the file, but I do not think I will be able to do so. Within three hours the downloaded size increased from 2.01GB to 2.02GB and there were 1.11GB corrupted parts.
In other words it stopped downloading at the same point where it had stopped downloading when I had started downloading with the amule 1.2.6 and then I used amule cvs.
Moreover, there is another thing that you should know. Maybe, it is not related to amule, but since you are the experts you are going to decide. For three hours, that I wrote above, the computer was not used. When I came back, amule was not responsive. Namely, I clicked on the search button or the sharefiles button and the window for that task did not appear. Instead the two windows (the old one and the new one) were kind mixed, many of the buttons were faded or even had disappeared. The only solution of course was to kill amule and to start it again. As I wrote before I do not know what caused this. It could be my system or not. I see this kind of behavior and it is because all the informations are written on the harddisk, swap memory, and it takes some time for the kernel to recover the information. But, for amule I did not see such a thing.
I will install the new version of amule that you have released and I will let you know.
-
like you see..
-
It works :D
I installed the rc1 version and it works. So far I have not had a single corrupted file and if everything goes well I should have it in a couple of hours.
You did it.... Thank you :))
