Hi,
    I am using aMule under Mandrake 9.2.  I am a new user, but went through the getting started guide and everything seems to work well--could find and begin downloading the knoppix image no probs.  But when I try to download something I actually want, I never seem to be able to begin downloading--the status message is always "waiting".  I also don't seem to get anyone in the clients queue window.

I am guessing this is a configuration problem, I have opened the port and checked it on the testport site and it works, so I should be able to begin.

Any suggestions, or should I just be more patient?

Robert

Yeah, I read that.  I don't mind slow too much, and as I am only just starting I can understand it.   I set my configuration up to try to be sensible given the guidelines. I thought, though, that slow meant slow download speeds, not slow to start.  I will try to be patient, see what happens.

Thanks

If the file you want to download is "rare", and the sources have more popular files too, then you might wait 3-6 hours or even more before your download starts. Double-click on the file name to see the sources, and the queue ranks you have at them. When they're all high (>1000), you cannot do anything but be patient.
As time goes by, and you start to have some parts of the file, you'll also share it, gain credits, and your download will start faster.
