Hi, m2iko, and all that have tried my version:
If it doesn't work, could you please launch it from the command line, with the instructions I placed on the original post? It is probably a lib that I forgot to include, but I don't know which it is if you don't tell me!
About the beachball: if you have lots of files shared, aMule takes forever to hash them, every time you launch it. It is a thread, so you might not notice it. The best way to check for that is to launch aMule from the command line. The hash thread prints lots of usefull stuff to the Terminal, so you know what it is doing.
This is the biggest problem I have found with aMule so far: the hash is loooong (5min), and the system slows down a lot while it is happening.
