Windows installer for aMule-2.0.0 released.

You can get it from http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0-installer.exe

The installer is for Windows XP/NT/2000. If there is need, I might create a version for Windows 9X too.

It contains:

• aMule-2.0.0
• wxCas
• alc (aLinkCreator)
• the ed2k utility, for sending ed2k:// links to aMule

It does not contain:

• amulegui (not working on Windows atm)
• amule daemon (untested)
• command-line tools (amulecmd, amuleweb, cas, alcc) (command-line for Windows?)
• amulecmdDLG and amulewebDLG (untested)

That's all for now, first aMule release on Windows. Feel free to report bugs, ask questions, etc.

That would be much appreciated. Of course, when you have the time...

Great work!

Please could you provide for download an X11 based Windows download?

This would enable people to run it remotely and connect to the session, using vncserver or move the gui around different desktops without needing to restart it (using xmove) such that it integrates with their other windows (using multiwindow mode of an X server).

The only way to do this (that I know of) with the non-X11 version would be either to use the web interface (which isn't as functional), or to kick off the current console user (if using Windows XP Pro), or to be rich enough to afford Windows Server.

Thanks!

OK, I'm a bit ignorant about windows & X11 (in fact I have no real idea about it), but can't you just use the windows tightvnc server and then remotely connect to it?

Found some bugs:
1)When I copy ipfilter.dat in /.aMule folder, amule dont start. I tried emule and peerguardian ip-filter formats.


2) Server-list update dont work.

2005-05-07 12:05:28: Loading server.met file: C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\.aMule\server.met.download
2005-05-07 12:05:28: Error: the file server.met is corrupted

I add manually 30 servers and put into their list of constant servers to avoid this problem.

3) Speedmeter on tray icon not displayed.

4) Positions of many columns in GUI and statistic tree are not remembered after restart aMule.

5) When I sort sources on a file in a queue place (Priority column), A4AF sources displayed in top of the list. And should be displayed below.

In the rest all works normally and stably. Memory and CPU useage very low. Upload stable and good download speed.
Thanks for release

works and i haven't got problems copying *.dat/.met  files  from emule directory to aMule.

ps: is it normal that amule.exe is 12MB in size ?

Well, if you use the "native" tightvnc server, than you would only be connecting to the same desktop that the person sitting at the PC would be using. I want to be able to run amule on the PC without the person sitting at the PC seeing anything.

In this situation, the X11 based tightvnc server is needed, but to display amule onto the X11 based vnc server, amule needs to use X11 also. It should be fairly simple to recompile it to use X11 - just use the GTK2 based wxwidgets instead.

Yes. The executable is statically linked against wxWidgets, that's why it's so large.

2) Server-list update dont work.

It is a known bug in the win32 version, will be looked after.
Thanks for the bug reports, I'll check them.

phoenix: Some time next week.

I seem to me has understood why does not work ip-filter.
Fragment of standard ip-filter:

000.000.000.000 - 003.255.255.255 , 000 , Bogon, Fake File servers AP2P
004.000.025.146 - 004.000.025.148 , 000 , s0-0.ciscoseattle.bbnplanet.net
004.000.026.014 - 004.000.029.024 , 000 , p1-0.cisco.bbnplanet.net

aMule does not crash at startup only if remove all unnecessary zero which I has allocated with red color.

0.0.0.0 - 3.255.255.255 , 0 , Bogon, Fake File servers AP2P
4.0.25.146 - 4.0.25.148 , 0 , s0-0.ciscoseattle.bbnplanet.net
4.0.26.14 - 4.0.29.24 , 0 , p1-0.cisco.bbnplanet.net

Couldn't it be dynamically linked instead?

Yes, maybe. In next release.

That´s a shame. I was waiting 2.0 release ONLY because of the gui interface for windows.
I´ll need to keep my linux server overloaded running graphical interface, vnc, etc :(
Maybe in the next "soon" release ;)

Maybe in the next "soon" release

We hope to satisfy your needs in next release.
