Title: server issues
Post by: mniemierko on May 06, 2006, 06:42:37 PM

Hi,
I searched to see if this was posted and I couldn't find it; I hope I'm not reposting.

I tried to download the newest version of amule for Mac (I have a 10.4.6 Tiger) but stuffit wouldn't open it, so I download 2.1.0, which worked as far as unstuffing and opening. The problem is that it won't connect to any servers. When I try to download the server list I get this message:

Failed to load server.met file '/Users/Malvina/Library/Application Support/aMule/server.met.download', unknown format encountered.

I'm sort of new to this so I don't know what that means...any help? Does it matter that I'm using a wi-fi server?

Thanks!

First, try doing Open With -> BOMArchiveHelper to open the newest version of aMule.  That's the tool built into Mac OS X for handing .zip files.  StuffIt may be buggy.

If you still can't download a server.met, try copying the URL into your web browser and using that to download the server.met.  Then, move the downloaded server.met to ~/Library/Application Support/aMule and start aMule.

What URL do I use?

You can use the URL that's at the top of aMule's Networks screen, just above the server list.  Or, you can google for "server.met" and download one of the results.
