Kry, which Linux distro do you use?
Yea, I know this is a FREE, Open-Source software and we can't complain, but we can give our opinions.
And some of them are very simple and important to implement in aMule's project.
I am not an expert-programmer (still learning at university), but if I was I would have done a lot of GUI-Improvements in aMule.
Not that aMule MUST be just like eMule, but some graphical-bugs could be fixed...
Is it that difficult? Or you simply never have time for this?
aMule is GREAT, but-and you have to consider that is the Only eMule's Linux ALIVE.
If aMule dies, Linux community won't have another good choice for ed2k downloads... :(
And, after I read all the posts of this thread, the only thing I can see and understand is that you don't really want to continue this project...
Only because "this bug doesn't happen to me" it is not a reason to "do nothing".
The bug, the crash, the protocol-obfuscation, the GUI-improvement, they aren't only for you and for your Linux distro, but for Everybody that uses Linux and like downloading files on the web.
Only a few people that uses Windows uses aMule... because eMule, comparing now, is better.
So... aMule is not for your PC, for your Linux distro.
It is for everybody...
Again: if I were an expert-programmer, I would have already fixed a lot of simple bugs in aMule... no, it is not that I have time, it is simply that I like ed2k files and use them very often and like to see people happy with something that I have done.
I've made a site that helps people configuring eMule, and I am always updating it with better explanations, better screenshots... the site is not for me, but for newbies. And it gets like one thousand visits per day (what surprised me).
If you wanna see it (it is in brazilian-portuguese, so maybe you won't understand :P):
http://www.tutorialemule.rg3.netAnd, if aMule gets better and better, I will wanna make a site helping to configure aMule too!
Thanks for the attention and keep up with the good work :D
