As of right now, the paypal amount is €279,55 EUR. 100 more euros and it'll be covered.

Big Thanks to every single one of you that donated - the big ones and the small ones. If anyone wants to be in a donors list, go ahead and we can revive that section fo the website, which has been gone for a while.

To be honest about the server prize, yes, it's expensive, it's hosted on http://www.ngz-server.de/rootserver/rootserver.php and it was chosen a long time ago. So far it's been reliable and the expenses had been covered by a single donor whenever we needed payment and there were no enough donations. You can check the prize at the website to see we're not fooling you, and it's a pretty powerful server with a big pipe - which helps us when we're DDOSed, which is more often than you would think.

Having a dedicated server is expenbsive and luxurious, but other services we've had in the past haven't lived up to the needs we had, of configuration, bandwith and other needs. Also good luck finding people wanting to host a server for a p2p project, even if it does no P2P at all.

To those that think the program is crappy/unstable/that we're the scum of the earth and don't want to donate, have a happy life thinking that. It's a DONATION, because noone is forcing you to donate. You don't want to donate, go ahead, but posting here how righteous you are because the application is a piece of shit? That's just childish and pathetic. How old are you, twelve? The application is free - and it will remain free, I don't agree with selling binaries either, it would involve licenses and other stuff that's just annoying. If you don't like a free application, either find a different free application you like or pay for a better one.

On a unrelated note, we're aware of the Mac problems, most of them caused by wxWidgets, which is our multiplatform layer (and now, we're not going to change the layer, either).

Once we have a developer with enough time and a fast, reliable and usable Mac to work on it, rest assured the program will improve. As it is, the current team is doing what they can to have as much as possible working.

You could also take a look at hosteurope.de. I do not use them personally, but a friend of mine said it is very stable. Mind you, his site is not as loaded as yours. Anyways what you should seriously consider is sourceforge or something similar. I know it is not as cool as having a dedicated server, but at least you get to keep the donations.

BTW: I am really happy to hear that our donations (small in my case) already covered most of the expenses!

Numéro de reçu : 2286004954520415C

Question pourquoi le compte amule est en USD alors qu'il serait plus simple qu'il soit en EUROS comme la location du serveur ??
'sorry i don't know how write this question in english :) '

Long life to amule

Hello aMule team,

I am a many years aMule user on Linux. Started using it with SuSE 8 through SuSE 9 an now on Ubuntu 8.04. aMule did a good job for me and I decided to donate you 50 Euros.

But. I don't want to use PayPal nor moneybookers. Could you please post your SWIFT account data somewhere? All EU citizens can donate you money through SWIFT free of charge. And for users from Germany German account data would be helpful.

However. If you don't want to post the account data publicly. Could you please send it to me privately? I promise to donate!

An other point is: I think you would do you and aMule users a great favor if you move the server to a less expensive hoster. I myself have good experience with 1&1 hosting.

Regards
Alex

All covered, and a day early! Thank you guys, and we'll work on getting a cheaper hosting solution that fits our needs. And also on improving aMule so you don't feel your efforts have been in vain.

Hey you....
how much it costs?
I recommend you to move your content to www.tophost.it (italy)
It costs about 10 euros/year...

It's only an advice...

Bye
