See here for some more input from Mac users. I can't explain it, but you could still try it.  ;)

Thanks FreeToGo thanks Stu Redman...  unfortunately neither of the suggestions proofed to be the remedy... strange things happen... I have still no clue what caused this behaviour with my amule...  looks like the possiblities are vast - maybe my latest security update from Apple? I'll try to go back and erase it and see what happens... and in case you stumble across some other options that might have caused my ports not to be forwarded properly any more, I'll appreciate your suggestions... thanks for your kind help

You updated aMule if I understand correctly from how this thread went. Leopard has a firewall you need to verify when updating the program, as it digitally signs the applications. Google for "leopard firewall" or look around this forum if anyone actually posted information about it.

I am confused. If updating amule could not help, have u tried deleting your old/obsolete config files in your user directory?
In linux, something like
mv  ~/.aMule  ~/.aMulebackup

@ Kry: I'm still running on Tiger... 10.4.11 - which is why it's so bizarre that things stopped working... i haven't changed anything on my Mac, besides some ssecurity update on Max OS 10.4 that they issue regularly on the Apple website. I'm trying to get rid of it now, incase that that's the culprit. But I don't see how I can without deleting everything + starting from scratch... arghhhhh... and I don't even know if that is what has caused the problem since I have had several updates since I run amule and it never caused any problems of this kind

Also: last night I figured, that I try to connect to ED2K since Kad works not very well and gives me this "firewalled"-thing. Before, I wasn't connected to any server & the list was empty. I went with http://gruk.org/server.met.gz, got 4 servers, all of which look like I could trust them (eDonkey Servers and Peerates). But now it ceased to work completely. I can't connect to any of the servers. Kad shows me 648 nodes & firewalled. But instead of progessing slowly, the upload shows 0.1 and the download 0.0. And all the files I try to download are red. And no one is downloading the files I share. I've removes all servers. Closed amule. Opened & connected again. Nothing changes. Only me, becoming really desperate  :'(

rm ~/.amule -Rf
Don't. You might be killing your downloads as well if they are located in the .amule dir.

@Kry: first it stopped working (that's why she posted), then she updated aMule because I suggested it (she was using 2.1.3).

@Lilli: Tiger has a firewall too. Try to turn it off, see here.

Thanks Stu. I checked it. It's turned off.
My files are on an external disk. Do I still risk to erasing them?
Can I get back to the slow and firewalled Kad at least by erasing amule and re-installing it? Because now it's plain dead  :(

Thanks for your help! Lilly

As long as you don't erase your temp files there is no danger. (They are often in a subfolder to .aMule, that's why I warned you.)
Erasing the whole content of .aMule will do want you want by "reinstalling".
