Newbie / Sources Question
« on: June 29, 2007, 11:12:29 AM »

Hi guys, I am kind of new user of amule. I quite do not understand very well what are the EXTENDED OPTIONS ....Swap Every A4AF to this File Now or Auto means? I have a file that I am trying to download, the sources is very low, just one user, but the file is important so I would like to give it full priority. I did put HIGH on priority but it still keeps light blue all the time. Could I give it more priority by assigning Swap Every A4AF to this File Now?

By the way, has amule an option to display a window that tells you when you download a file, like Emule does?

Thanks a lot for any help and best,
Sebastiao

To explain things very quickly:
A source may have more than one file you want, but you can only ask for one file. If this is the case you'll see something like 3/4 +1 (5), where the +1 indicates, that there's a source, but you are asking for another file from this source.

Now if you swap A4AF (ask for another file), you'll remove this source from the other file and add it to the one you're swapping to.

aMule has (in CVS versions) events, where you can set up a script to do what you want.
