Title: Temp Directory missing
Post by: Brigadier on September 30, 2005, 01:47:47 PM
Hello everybody ! I´m new in this forum and just starting with aMule. can someone tell me which is the correct adress of the temp directory by default ? I know it is something like ????/.aMule/Temp.
Trying to locate it in another place I´ve make a mess and now everything has disappeared. So the uploading is working but the downloading not. Thanks in advance ! Sorry for my broken english.

ups

well usually your temp dir is inside your homedir
so its

/home/username/.aMule/temp

but it could be a problem if your username contains non-unicode chars.

maybe create a folder on your system, and place new temp files in there...and also change the path in amule-prefernces to this new spot.

maybe you can use the finder to find the already created ".met" files..just search for it.

The folder .aMule is hidden and therefore not shown by the Finder. To go to the folder, do "Go->Go to Folder" in Finder (or simply hit Shift-Apple-g) and then enter "~/.aMule" and click "Go".

The Shift-Apple-g shortcut also works in any open/save/choose folder dialogs. So hit Shift-Apple-g when choosing a Temp folder in amule and go to "~/.aMule". There you can choose folder "Temp" to make amule use the default temp folder again.

Hope this helps. :)

Brigadier, the normal value for the Temp directory preference setting is: /Users/yourusername/.aMule/Temp

For example, my username is "ken" so my Temp directory is: /Users/ken/.aMule/Temp

stefanero was almost right, but Mac OS X uses "/Users", not "/home".

Once you reset that value, you should quit and restart aMule.  Then, all of your downloads should reappear.
