excuse my euphoric tone, but kry, ken and i just finished an 8 hour debug-athlon and guess what, we found and fixed a sockets bug in wx that was responsible for the extremely poor download performance of amule on the mac (see here, here and here)!!!

just to give you an idea of the magnitude of the effect:
before, i got a download session average of 2-3k/s and now... well just see for yourself (see the attached image)...

anyway, can't tell you how happy i am -- this was really a major issue that was causing a lot of frustration among mac users...
so thanks to everybody who was involved!


we will put together a clean binary tomorrow so you can enjoy the all new amule experience for yourself...

ps: i guess i really have to change my download graph scaling -- my current rate is over 60k/s...

I'll submit the patch for wx also.


And BTW: it improves a lot on unix also. Yay!

[faibistes]

I love you guys

[Kry]

Shhh, my girlfriend might read that!

[sssnake]

Cooool!

[lionel77]

i just uploaded a new binary here.
sorry it took a bit longer but we wanted to provide you with a clean build, plus, some main developer kept insisting on continuously improving his own patches...

anyway, hope you enjoy

hi,
thanks for your hard work.
i have dl'ed lionell77's cvs20050301 version and cannot experience any improvement. i believe that this version has wxMac statically linked into the app, so i don't have to install anew version into the system manually?

does this version actually improve dl ratio for others? i'm a little bit confused right now.

... m2kio !

I'll let it run for more time, maybe I haven't had enough patience... it has been running for more than 8 hours (and I'm running the downloaded binary)
Same problem here:
UL:DL = 3.77:1
Downloaded data: 76.95 MB
Avg Downloadrate= 2.64 KB/s
Max Downloadrate= 21.62 Kb/s

That's weird because, it has been solved. For sure. So lionel might have broken something  :]

maybe he has managed to omit "the patch" ?

... m2kio !

[Kry]

Maybe, because I gave him about 12 different versions of it

[m2kio]

probably one version too many.

ok, i'll try the next version as soon it's available.

... m2kio !

[chapulin]

Not working here either

Please, release the good one!
(and I'll stop fouriously reloading this page seeking for updates)

[Kry]

You will probably have to wait till tomorrow anyway :p

BTW guys, this won't "magically" set your mule to full speed. This fixes a dl problem where sockets were being closed, and that made people sending you send only few bytes. this will only help if you face THAT problem, other speed problems come from the files you dl, missconfiguration, and such.

my aMule runs with 150 kB/s! thanks, even better than eMule!!  :baby:
