SVN 20080518: aMule doesn't save sources on rare files
« on: May 19, 2008, 10:18:41 PM »
I'm not sure if this is a bug... but aMule used to create an extra file in the Temp directory called 00x.seeds to store sources for rare files when configured to do so.  SVN 20080518 doesn't do that, and I don't know if it is beacuse now it stores the sources elsewhere or because it's a real bug.


Cheers

The feature is still there in the source, but the configuration option was removed. I can't tell you why...

I have attached a patch which should turn it back on again if you're interested.

Thank you ;)

I find useful this feature, and in my opinion shouldn't be removed.

I think that it was unintentionally removed, because if someone wanted to remove it, he would have also removed the checkbox in the preferences dialog. Well, let's see if anyone can tell us what happened...

It was an innocent victim of the removal of source-dropping.
Now it has been restored to its former glory.

Fine!
Why is it listed under "ExternalConnect" btw ?

To confuse you ;)

It was there originally, it has been restored there. Maybe eMule put it there in the first place?
