Basic aMule Tips
- NEVER run aMule as root.
- If you are behind a firewall or router, be sure that the ports have been opened. The default ports are 4662 (TCP). 4665 (UDP) and 4672 (UDP). If these are blocked, you will receive a "LowID" which results in fewer available sources for the files you are downloading.
- Obtain an appropriate server.met: e.g., if you are a dialup, using a large server list is not appropiate.
- Set your temp and shared directories in Preferences->Directories
- To recursively select a certain directory, right-click over it.
- You should *NOT* share
- Your temp download directory!
- Your /etc directory
- Probably not your /var, /lib, /boot, or /usr directory
- Certainly make sure that any really confidential files (password files, private SSH keys, credit card numbers :) are *not* shared. So generally do not share your entire home directory, although you might want to share some files or directories in it.
- Remember that you get certain download priveledges with those clients (aMule, eMule, etc users) to whom you upload files, in the form of reduced queue waits.
- Please note that compilation with optimizations is supported. However, if you pull a Gentoo, we will probably just tell you to recompile aMule and/or your system with sane compiler-flags before we will attempt to address the problem.
