Title: Why is amule so big ! (136 Mo )
Post by: Piero on March 29, 2005, 04:51:43 PM

I've just downloaded amule, which is GREAT ! (especially since it's downloading ;) )

But I've a little question, when I donwnload, the compressed file is around 24 Mo, and aMule weight 136 Mo when uncompressed !  8o

Isn't there a problem, such a program should weight around 10 Mo, why is it so big (and why is it possible to compress it so much (20% ratio is rather uncommon, isn't it the sign that there is a problem)) ?

it contains really a lot of debug info which makes it soo big.

and it has all the libs included which are needed to run amule aswell, like wxGTK

and only this lib is really big also on linux.

so on linux you have it distributed all over the place ;) and on Mac it commes all together in one zip.
