Title: searching the servers
Post by: benedictep on December 04, 2005, 01:22:31 PM

I am very new to amule...

When I want to search, what is the difference of a local search and a global search? Is local a search on the server I have marked, and global a search on all the servers I have downloaded? If not, how can I search all the servers at once? Please explain it in a not to difficult computerlanguage :baby:

Thank you very much

As you already figured out, "local" search working on currently connected server, while "global" will ask all servers in your list one-by-one.
You can not  ask all them at once: this would impose heavy load on servers and thus avoided.

Thank you very much!!

Another question you might be able to answer...

If I am looking for videos with English subtitles, how do I search? What does the .avi and  .srt mean?

.avi means the file is video. avi is a container-format, this means this file *might* already include subtitles, either hardcoded (this means they are a part of the images) or softcoded (this means you can choose in your player if they should be displayed or not)

.srt is a file containing just the subtitles. you'll need some player, that is capable of displaying them along with your movie (be it avi or mpeg or whatever). a good player is vlc (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/). this subtitles can also come in a .sub file
