Great news!
« on: October 07, 2004, 02:38:10 AM »

Ok, guys, I made a great advance on Mac aMule: there were less sources than it should be, and now it's fixed. Doing it, I also found that the Mac aMule was not using SUI, so that was making us lose sources to (tho it shouldn't, some mods ban non-sui sources).

So, I have been downloading with AMule today on Mac and I must say it's wonderful :D


Bugs left, from my side:

a) People reports periodic hangs, tho I don't suffer from them neither I lose downloads.

b) Hang on server connecting -> same on linux, after a time it gets back. It's being investigated and will probably be fixed tomorrow.

c) The server retries before deleting it it's not usable on the Mac I'm working - shows gray with no size. Anyone different?

d) File details grow and grow and grow and.... (Easy one)

e) Big bug: Downloading ipfilter/server met via HTTP download dialog crashes aMule. It's curl's FAULT!, so what can we do?
    -> Possible fix 1: Find out that I'm stupid and I'm doing something wrong (I have confidence that this is not true - it's working on linux and I reviewed it lots of times, and it crashes inside the curl lib).

    -> Possible fix 2: Use single curl calls, tho this will break the usage of a Cancel button, unless I make it kill the thread, which would be dangerouns, to say the least.


     -> Possible fix 3: get rid of curl. Not possible at this stage.


so I'm for NÂș2. I agree Cancel button is important, even more on big files, but as the window is deatached and doesn't interfere with aMule, I think we can live with it till I do fix 3 (or fix 1 :P)

it seems like this is only happening when the "secure connect" option is enabled.

one other thing i noticed so far is that (copy and) pasting does not yet seem to work (neither via apple+v nor via right-clicking).

i'll go ahead and do some more testing, but this is already looking very cool...


EDIT:
geez, that happens if you don't hit refresh on your browser for a while... ;)

wow, now you really make me start drooling... :D


EDIT2:
let's just assume for a second that i'm dying to get the most recent code that has the changes that you described implemented... how can get that from cvs?
i tried cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.amule.berlios.de:/cvsroot/amule co amule-cvs but that seem to have given me quite an old checkout...
