New downloads stay in red until restart
« on: November 19, 2005, 07:48:50 PM »

Hi

I've had a dig around the forums but I can't seem to be able to answer this question.
Very simple really. I use aMule 2.0.3 for Mac. Everything running well except that when I double click on a search (ie download it) into the file transfers window, the progress bar stays in red no matter how many hours or days I leave it. The only way to establish connections, is if I shutdown aMule and restart again. Bit of pain because you lose your queue on the other files downloading. Am I missing something or this a known bug? Apologies if this is a particular newbie question. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Many thanks.

Most likely you have fake servers in your serverlist (see here and here).

Two solutions:
1) If you want to keep using 2.0.3 download a server.met from gruk.org and manually put it into your ~/.aMule folder (while amule is not running).

2) Get the most recent CVS binary from this thread. There, you can download the gruk server.met from within aMule (make sure you remove all previous servers from the list before you do this).

Hope this helps. :)

Actually, lionel77, this is a bug that was fixed in CVS. ;)

I know. I should have made that more clear in my post.
However, removing the fake servers is probably not a bad idea even if upgrading to a recent CVS build. :)
