+ eMule-0.43b
« on: July 29, 2004, 02:31:05 PM »
  • i have a 384down/128up kbps DSL connection
  • im dual booting between win and lin and i use eMule on win and aMule on lin
  • I have hi-ID at both mules
  • the temp dir is in a fat32 partition and is the same for both mules (amule auto-disables chmod)
  • i have found no problems having this kind of configuration
  • i mostly set the uplimit at 12kB/s and down at 48kB/s (i browse a lot)
  • set hard limit=700 max connection=2100 (most of my downloads exeed 650 sources)
  • I have uploaded ~6Gigs with eMule and ~600Megs with aMule (i had emule far before i switched from xmule to amule)
  • downloaded ~6.5Gigs with eMule and ~600Megs with aMule
  • aMule seems to be slower than emule (at downloading)
  • i have set the same username for both mules
The big question is:
Do i get the credits from both mules in common or seperatly? ?(

The side questions are:
What changes do u propose at my configuration?
Where can i find aMule for win precompiled?
I fi switch from emule to amule in win do i get my credits reset?

as ytou already thought, the difference in the speed betwen aMule ane eMule is probably due to the credits (much more has been uploaded on eMule as you said).
Yopu can take the credits files form eMule (backup aMule's just in case) by copying cryptkey.dat, clients.met, preferences.dat (look at http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?threadid=1604&sid=&hilight=cryptkey+dat+clients+met ) into ~/.aMule diurectory.
aMule for windows is NOT working properly yet. so please don't use it, or not as a principle ed2k client, since it's buggy and under development yet. Ask the polish for a binnary since he posted one once (look at the win32 forums).
IF youy switch from eMule to aMule in win, you son't get ytour credits resetm but you'll have to move them to the aMule directory if you want your eMule credits to be used by aMule on win32.
I hope that all helped ;)

hey

but I would recommend you to use 2.0.0rc5 instead of 1.2.8
then you can fully import everything from eMule since 1.2.8 does not support secureIdent like rc5 does

and if you sometime switch to 2 you would loose your credits again ....
also the 2... version is just an rc because of Mac OS not because of Linux
so you can savely use it, only thing you need is Cryptopp but that is quickly installed

#!/bin/bash

cp path_to_Amule/clients.met ~/backup_mule/clients.met.a
cp path_to_Amule/preferances.dat ~/backup_mule/preferences.dat.a
cp path_to_Amule/cryptkey.dat ~/backup_mule/cryptkey.dat.a

cp path_to_Emule/clients.met path_to_Amule/clients.met
cp path_to_Emule/preferances.dat path_to_Amule/preferances.dat
cp path_to_Emule/cryptkey.dat path_to_Amule/cryptkey.datat logout from aMule -> eMule
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

cp path_to_Emule/clients.met ~/backup_mule/clients.met.e
cp path_to_Emule/preferances.dat ~/backup_mule/preferences.dat.e
cp path_to_Emule/cryptkey.dat ~/backup_mule/cryptkey.dat.e

cp path_to_Amule/clients.met path_to_Emule/clients.met
cp path_to_Amule/preferances.dat path_to_Emule/preferances.dat
cp path_to_Amule/cryptkey.dat path_to_Emule/cryptkey.dat

hmmm. just backup the aMule and eMule clients once and forget about backing them up everytime.
if you do what you're doing right now you'll loose the first backups on next app switch.
There's no need to back them up everytime since once you are in eMule, if the credits got corrupted, you have a backup at aMule's dir ;-)

hey

you cannot see your own credits...
but you should see teh message
"1000 clients are now" or something alike when you start your amule
this message should be teh same as in eMule or about the same number....
and if this file worked I guess cryptkey.dat and the other worked aswell
