OS 10.4.1, aMule 2.0.1, NO-thing downloading
« on: May 28, 2005, 02:56:19 PM »
the easy way to get me to understand how to fix this problem is to speak slowly and as if i am an idiot. please remember that.

ok soooooo....i've been trying to find more Linux isos other than the torrents i found at isohunt.com....i heard about this program and tried it out--it's pissing me off because i can't seem to figure it out. i'm connected through this server than that server and i find the episodes i want---BUUUUT they just sit there and never download.


plzzzzzzzzzz ppl, i don't get t.v. in english so this is my only mode of entertainment.

anyone care to help a girl out :))

First: No references about copyrighted material here, please. I changed that for you ;)

Second: Try reading both parts of this and see what applies to you: http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/AMule_is_slow

i'm using a router. i have the same problems connecting thru iChat using my iSight with my parents iMac G5 (and only their G5) damn the man lol.  so i'm guessing that's probably the only damn problem i'm having.  {thanx for the link btw}

are there any other ways do u think i could get the files? i'm seriously willing to host all the episodes of Gentoo and Debian Linux (the eps i want) i'm all for sharing the wealth :)) o and before my rambling mind forgets thanx for fixing the post. :)

i'm sharing my internet so i can't demand the cable modem for a month lol. so help on finding the files would be nice.

*kiss, kiss* thanx a bunch :D



"fixed" again...

OK, here are the rules:

This forum is about aMule, not about what you want to get or how you can get it. Such questions would be appropriate in the "Off Topic" section at best. So if you want help with amule ask your question (and stick to the rules, just using an abbreviation doesn't mean the material isn't copyrighted anymore), if you want to know where to get $whateveryouwant there are plenty of boards out there where you can ask that ;)

sorry about the copyright material again. i understand what ur saying but i figured it was relevant since i still can't use the program and it's the only program i know of that has even *found* the files i want.  i figured maybe someone might know something here. and since it is not exactly user friendly for my macself it's not like i can go to the other sections or even to the FAQ--a FAQ which only includes a few articles for the mac users.  no insult to aMule i'm sure it's a great program if it works.  but feel free to get rid of me by suggesting a site forum somewhere that hasn't already been shut down by the MPAA.

ciao~

Well, talking about your problems to get amule running: amule on Mac isn't very different from amule on linux or win32. It looks a little different, some files are saved at other places, but it mainly is the same app.

And I think you already got it up & running. The point is (and that's why I pointed you to the "amule is slow" document) that amule and the whole ed2k network is slow. It's something completely different from bittorrent or even http / ftp downloads. The BIG advantage of ed2k is, as you already found out, the big ammount of files that you can get if you are patient ;)

One note: Even if you have a LowID (which was your only problem as far as I can see) you are still able to download. You will have problems getting on some servers and you will loose some sources, but it will still work, only a little slower than with a HighID. So you can just leave amule running and try to figure out how to forward the ports in your router to your Mac. And don't forget: amule is slow, if you use it for the first time and only have a few files in your download it can take hours until it even starts downloading...

thanx dear! so as long as i keep the program running in the background it should download.....eventually. btw i was reading that FAQ and the colors and some of the downloads are a deep blue (and so everything should be good) but even those refuse to download.  maybe i just need patience :P

thank you for the help :))
