is aMule broken? #3

Closed github-userx closed 2 months ago

github-userx commented 1 year ago

Hi

just wondering if aMule is currently broken or not? All downloads for me stop after downloading 15-30MB. They only continue after manually pausing & resuming them. I got highID + ports open/forwarded.

The aMule (Linux) project seems to be abandoned with all its unresolved issues and few activity on the GitHub page?

i see your Windows Version is 2.3.3.4 ? Ubuntu is 2.3.3. ?

I guess it’s Linux related and aMule on Windows does work. What a shame, I really liked the idea of getting into ed2k file sharing :( everyone’s got the same issue (unresolved), see:

The Windows build here uses the same source code with the official project (except some necessary patches). The version number 2.3.3.4 means the 4th build for aMule 2.3.3.

All downloads for me stop after downloading 15-30MB.

Although I am running aMule on Linux and not bothered with this bug, I think this blog on-wrong-header-error-during-downloading-of-amule-v2-3-2-and-later may be related (the page is Chinese and google translation can help).

I guess it’s Linux related and aMule on Windows does work.

If this bug only occurs on Linux, I guess it may be caused by the third party dependencies but not the source code of aMule. You can post the ed2k links here so I can help make some tests.

Message ID: @.***>Hi!

Thanks. Much appreciated. I think aMule on Linux is more „stable“ than I originally thought. Downloads mostly finish over time albeit slowly but that’s probably more due to low amount of sources/seeders/uploaders and their speeds. All in all I can’t complain much anymore. Probably just too used to torrents and their speeds.

Again, thanks a lot for the support/help.

Hello, have changed the URL (http://mailfud.org/geoip-legacy/GeoIP.dat.gz) for GeoIP in amule config file but cannot see any flag. Any advice? Thanks

minnyres commented 1 year ago

@Leofib191 First make sure that you are using the latest build. After shutdown aMule, check the option GeoIPEnabled and GeoLiteCountryUpdateUrl in amule.conf. Also check whether the file GeoIP.dat exists. If everything is OK, amule should show the flags of peers like this:

Hello thanks for replying.

GeoIPEnabled=1 and GeoLiteCountryUpdateUrl=http://mailfud.org/geoip-legacy/GeoIP.dat.gz I think I'm using the latest version: minnyres/amule-dlp:official-2.3.3

Not sure about Geoip.dat: where should I check? Thanks

minnyres commented 1 year ago

I think I'm using the latest version: minnyres/amule-dlp:official-2.3.3

@Leofib191 Are you running amule in docker and managing it with amulegui on Windows? You need to check amule.conf and Geoip.dat for the Windows client at the location ~\AppData\Roaming\aMule\. Need to use the latest build here: https://github.com/minnyres/amule-win32/releases/tag/v2.3.3.4

Hello, Have downloaded the latest GUI and it works, thanks!

Are you planning a version of your aMule docker with OpenVPN?

Thanks again!

Are you planning a version of your aMule docker with OpenVPN?

I will consider the proposal. Can you explain why you need aMule work with OpenVPN？

GianlucaRos commented 1 year ago

I'm anything but an expert, I saw OpenVPN used in other dockers (not aMule), thus I think it's a sort of standard protocol to be used. There are no aMule dockers with any VPN embedded as far as I know, and would be much needed for the safety of torrenting

I will take some investigations on building aMule docker images with VPN but it won't come soon. If you really care about security, set a stronger password for amulegui and amuleweb. You can also try to setup a private network with zerotier

GianlucaRos commented 1 year ago

By security I mean that your IP, i.e. the IP shown by the aMule app, is hidden.
