Fox * I did eventually manage to download with amule. My problem was apparently a wrong choice of source server. While amule/ xmule are basically the same programs, I found amule to have a more polished look. I made the big plunge over the weekend and installed 9.2 to replace my 9.1 install. After spending some time configuring, and MANY hours downloading a lot of updates (on a dialup!), I'm now enjoying 9.2. I am using apollon as a p2p program now, and I find it easy to use. With both FastTrack and OpenFT plugins installed, there always seems to be lots of results.

[newbie] xmule/amule?
I was wondering if anyone here has used, or is using either xmule or amule from plf? It is a file sharing client compatible eDonkey. I don't seem to be able to download anything. I can get the list of available servers and connect, I can search and get results, but when I try to download all I get is waiting to download. Can anyone offer any advice/tips/comments?

I tried eDonkey a while back, and I found it rather difficult to comprehend. amule/xmule have very nice gui's and seem easy to understand, but, haven't been cooperative thus far. :-| TIA for anything on this.

I found an all-in-one-installer tar package here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=83763 but it looks like there isn't any way for me to install this in a way that I can easily remove it, a la rpm that is, using checkinstall. These type installers make me a little nervous. Anyone tried this one? I should probably move up to 9.2, but 9.1 is working very good for me. Thanks again.
