Hi all,

Amule finally implements modules that I need (remote and web gui). So I plan to move from mldonkey to amule. I actually have a poor config (PII 300 with 128 Mb ram) running ubuntu with gnome. The computer is very slow. So I plan to make a small install of  a debian sarge with XFCE (smaller than gnome) and to put the latest version of amule on it.

Do you think amule will have enough ressources to work well?
Do you think I should change the distrib

Thanks a lot

If you want you could use amuled, the daemon version of amule. This way you won't need any graphical user interface with its need for resources, just the plain shell

[GonoszTopi]

aMule runs well here with 128Mb ram, and on a 466MHz computer. Although you'd better compile wxGTK with only GTK1, because this uses much less CPU and memory.

Ok thanks for your reply! My ambition is only to have amuled launch on the pc. The thing is that I will certainly need a gui for other applications.

Thanks hope it will work fine.

Does someone know if amule go faster than mldonkey?

I think this question cannot be answered with a definitive 'yes' or 'no' because there are many dependencies (hardware, config, availibility of files,...) which influence 'speed' in both applications. I tried mldonkey and aMule and decided to keep aMule because i made better experiences with it. Although mldonkey seems to use less cpu and memory, and seems for me more stable at the moment, it was in my testing period slower (about half times). Another advance of mldonkey is its support for other networks but aMule is on the right way by implementing Kad.
Many other things are choices by taste but one big point to aMule is it's active community. Every bugfinding effort is rewarded with its fix and you find many help in this forum and twiki (@ devs: of course the order should be: first twiki, then forum...  ).

Greetings,

the communities of mldonkey and amule arent that different in terms of activeness.

but there are other pros and cons.

cause emule, and especially some mods are kind of racists, in my opinion, which means, they dont like other similar programs very well. as amule is more like emule, the chance is better, that other emules work better with it. and at the moment emules ARE the main part of the donkey-net.

mldonkey on the other side is, at least, i think so, the most advanced p2p-program in terms of remote usage. you have three different remote-interfaces, web, telnet and gui. and the gui-protocol is much more advanced than that of amule, too.

so you have to decide on your personal preferences.


so long,

That's a nice bunch of bullshit

1. as i said, in my opinion
2. it was only a little advertisement for amule  
3. mldonkey isnt the best buddy of most emules, some mods even ban them on sight
  (i can show you some long time statistics of my mldonkey too)

4. emule pair better with other emules or amule for many reasons, some are protocol-inherent, some feature-inherent reasons. we could discuss them in detail, but i think this would be more than offtopic.

mldonkey has problems with other clients because of their buggy and broken protocol implementation, which harms the network to say the least. Don't get me started on "multiple server connection" and going on from there.

eMule/aMule is absolutely FAIR with other clients, and don't discriminate any clientby brand, only by wrong protocol behaviour or implementation, and NEVER for lack of features. Your sentence not implied, but clearly stated that such discrimination exists, so no "little advertisment" is there, imho. Fairness is what ed2k network is about, and fair play is what we do. Accusing us of toher behaviour harms the image of the projects, and the image of the developers.

It breaks our karma. And makes children cry. And kills kittens.

[Vollstrecker]

Fair? When I get some lecher-mod messages I'm asking myself how fair such a thing is. When this ones get banned on occur, I wouldn't say it's not fair, but I don't think that they report their version correct. At least they would say they are a standard emule when they get banned for their version.

[Kry]

I don't think mods harmful to the network have nothing to do with OFFICIAL eMule or aMule. You statement is, well, let's say we can live without it. We're discussing *emule* and *amule* versus *mldonkey* i.e, we're not discusing if a bad mod is bad. Of course is bad.
