When aMule is frozen (giving the spinning rainbow cursor), use Activity Monitor to get a sample of the process and post it here.  Instructions are in this post.

When I open amule with boinc set to run allways

More info:

with boinc set to run allways, I do the folowing
double click amule.app to open it
amule opens , loads the gui and stops responding
if I pause boinc amule continues to run normaly.
if I unpause boinc (make it crunch numbers) amule stops responding again.

This seems to be a problem with aMule's internal timer events.  It's similar to that reported by another user on another thread, and to lionel77's reports of aMule chewing 100% cpu sometimes.  I don't know if it's been fixed in recent code and all that's needed is a new Mac binary, or if it's still unfixed.  Unfortunately, I don't have time to get into it myself.  :(

For the time being, I would recommend that you keep BOINC paused or disabled while you run aMule.

Thanks for the report.

I got the same problem described on the first post... aMule is very very slow... I tried to delete the /Library/Application Support/aMule directory but it doesn't change anything... I posted that before I found the Mac section of the forum... The problem appears with both 2.1.0 and 2.1.3 since the first time I tried aMule... I don't use boinc and aMule uses about 2-3% of CPU time, but it remains frozen with the spinning wheel...

So, as you can read in the other thread (sorry guys for multipost) the problem is that aMule cannot work properly while another program like Seti@home or dnetc (the one i'm using) is working... Is there a way to make them work together ?

Same Trouble
« Reply #35 on: August 10, 2006, 04:31:50 PM »

@craze:
hi i have the same problem. in your second post what did u mean by "restore the temp"? did u erase the amule temp folder? if i do this then all download parts will be deleted. or did u mean changing the temp folder in the properties? this is impossible because my properties window doesnt open. every time i try to enter the properties amule crashes/laggs.
u said that u found a thread which describes everything i need to know, which thread is it?
what did u type in the search field?
i hope somebody got the answers for this trouble, otherwise i have to make another thread focusing this problem.
greets
