hello

in the faq there is an explanation about the different numbers of sources found.
i am looking for the same for the searches window.
the main problem is i have several downloads that stall after having downloaded some parts, because no source seems to have the missing parts. is there a way to know that in advance ?

kind regards     philippe

It's exactly one paragraph above the explanation of the sources numbers in the transfers directory: http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ_aMule#What_do_those_numbers_in_brackets_in_the_search_window_mean?

So if you do a search you get the number of total sources and in brackets behind the number of clients who announce to have this file complete. There usually are more full sources because not every client announces a file as complete.

P.S.:
Don't bang your head against the wall because you didn't see it in the FAQ. When I was first looking for this information I read the FAQ 20 times, searched everywhere and didn't see it until somebody pointed out the exact location to me  

[Kry]

Well, not exactly. The results you see on search are in the form  a(b), which means there are 'a' sources, and from those sources, 'b'  sources reported to have the complete file.

Which doesn't mean that the other a-b files doesn't have it completed, just they did not report it to be complete.

[thedude0001]

Hmm, yes, that's what I wanted to say...  

[philippe]

thank you for your fast and precise answers, thedude0001 an Kry.
i just edited the faq now so that next time in my ctrl-f i would find it.

i would like to know some clients that do not report files completion.
it would be interesting to have a list of clients that are friendly
or unfriendly to the network/users.
i waisted a lot of resources to download incomplete files,
and spreading incomplete files can therefor currently be used
to sabotage specific material.

[philippe]

please answer the above post if possible.
i see many trap themselves in downloading what they will never be able to get.
this is confusing.
could you allow users to post comments on these files ?

also, there is a bug in version 200rc7 where if you specify a search to only look for video, then deselect "extended parameters" the next search will still only look for video files ...

kind regards     philippe

philippe,

I think that if you do some googling you will find such lists, though I can't assure its procedence. Look for ipfilter.dat. And copy this file to ~/.aMule. And don't forget to enable ipfilter on Preferences.

About the search bug, can you test it on rc8 or even better, on a recent tarball?

Cheers!

[philippe]

only if there are deb files for download.

[phoenix]

For rc8 there is probably a deb, yes, but someone else will have to tell you, because I don't know. For recent tarballs you have to compile yourself. In case you want to adventure yourself:

Cheers!

[thedude0001]

There are .debs for Debian SID for rc8 here: http://www.amule.org/files/details.php?file=59

To be honest I have no real idea if they work on Ubuntu. But if they didn't change anything substantial they should be ok...

[philippe]

thank you for your help, thedude0001

i had to install libwxGTK2.5.3 first via synaptic, then
download and "extract here", open a terminal,
go to the folder where the .deb file is, and enter:
sudo dpkg -i amule_1.2.6+rc8-1_i386.deb
now it is running.
it said again it had to change the encoding to system
value (UTF8), despite having done that with rc7 already.

the search but is resolved in rc8 :-)

in the shared files list, almost all are red now, 0 sources completed.
this is not correct, they are almost all completed.

in the statistic graphs, can i have decimal scales ?

the disconnect button is big, prominent and always calling the attention.
why ?

kind regards     philippe
