OK people I'm completely lost now.
since upgrading to 1.2.6 Downloads no longer would show up in the transfers window (it says "1" transfer above the window and even downloads files fine, but it does not show them)
ok, I thought just reinstall it.
(Debian Sid btw)
so apt-get remove --purge amule
apt-get install amule
but dada: the old config (and bug) is still there
I even deleted /home/myhome/.aMule and /root/.aMule
by HAND and it still doesnt work.
created a config with user root and copied it over to /home/myhome/.aMule
no effect, still uses the corrupted one
(the stuff works fine using root)
so why is it still having a config if I already purged it completely (and I also purged xmule just to get rid of eventually old config bits
please ;(
