xMule xMule 1.8.1 Released!
Posted by HopeSeekr on Tuesday, April 06 @ 15:45:59 CDT
Contributed by HopeSeekr

This fixes virtually all of the known issues in 1.8.0, especially the strange font in the search dialog under GTK+ 1.2. There are also additional improvements in download speed. xmule-1.8.1.rar - 976 KB
xmule-1.8.1.tar.bz2 - 1.11 MB
xmule-1.8.1.tar.gz - 1.48 MB
xmule-1.8.1-1.i386.Fedora1.rpm


* New in 1.8.1 * FIXED: Systray Integration for KDE 3 and GNOME 1.2. * FIXED: Several bugs in the Search Window (Search History, ED2K Multilink). * FIXED: Crashes on Startup when .xMule/ doesn't exist. * FIXED: Exception-bug in ShowDownloadingParts. * FIXED: The Chinese Search font display problem in GTK 1.2. * FIXED: Fewer large packets are incorrectly dropped (e.g. faster downloads). * Increased maximum filesize from 2GB to 4GB (ed2k's max filesize).

Horrible. Not getting even 10% of the sources, no downloads, slow gui, worst version i ever tried.

Seems xmule goes worse on every version, even worse since hope don't code it.

XMule is... good software. At least in version 1.7.4c, as the 1.8.0 I tried was quite crappy... Well even with that I do prefer it to aMule... No troll, just a personal opinion. And HopeSeekr/Un-Thesis/Ted Smith, you are, if not a good man (Not knowing you, I have simply no opinion about this), a quite good programmer.
What I wanted to post was about the last survey... If I want what ? Unicode, theming, redesign...? Not all of that crap. I would want an complete ABANDON of WX. Why ? Just because more layers means more potential for bugs. A chain is as strong as the weakest link, and while you cannot control the quality of the links, you can minimize the number of them. Stability is the most evident problem in both aMule and xMule. Another advantage of abadonning an unuseful layer would be about software speed : to see a p2p application eat my CPU and my RAM is quite... irritating.
Hoping that, if you, HopeSeekr leave the project you will be replaced by quality developers. Thank you for your job.

PS : excuse my english, I am french.

I try this with Gentoo and it failed. I copy the xmule-1.8.0 to /usr/local/portage overlay and edit the ebuilt to point to xmule-1.8.1 tarball. It failed with the errors below.

ClientDetailDialog.cpp:54: error: invalid static_cast from type `void
(CClientDetailDialog::*)(wxEvent&)' to type `void
(wxEvtHandler::*)(wxCommandEvent&)'
make[1]: *** [ClientDetailDialog.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xmule-1.8.1/work/xmule-1.8.1/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Maybe you can come up with the ebuild and post it in bugs.gentoo.org. Thanks.

Let me tell ya all one thing. Until today I did not even know that there's something like 'aMule'. I gave it a try, and you know what? I had dozens of things hanging around in a queue for dl in xMule for months and they never started downloading. With aMule, in few hours, I got 'em all!
Just give it a though.

Lazy Dropping Sources (Score: 0)
by Anonymous on Thursday, April 08 @ 07:34:53 CDT
- Problem:

Dloads near to 0 most of the time, sometimes i can dload something but they use 30%-50% of the available bandwith, and not sustained.
Queue for popular files reaches max sources per file in a couple of hours, but most of them are in state 'unknown' and do not drop or change to another state.

Uploads reached max easily in 1.7.4c but not now, same behaviour than dloads.

Random crashes. Want me to paste backtraces?

- Configuration details:

AMD XP 2600, 512 MB , DSL 512/256kb
xmule 1.8.1 on Debian Unstable

HighID ,not doing NAT, fwall open for necessary ports.
Tired several servers with many users/files (razorback, probenprinz,...)
CPU usage, as promised in changelog, is very low.

Preferences in Source Dropping tab

i tried to install this version on mac os 10.3.3 but it doesn't work.
i have lots of warnings and then this error :
ld: warning suggest use of -bind_at_load, as lazy binding may result in errors or different symbols being used

1.8.0 was quite crappy, I already said that. I have not much trust in wxWidgets, I already said that... (yes, that's me...)
Well... That all said, I am truly positively impressed by 1.8.1. I have never downloaded so fast so many files (it's clearly faster than 1.7.4c that I just dropped this morning), and no more crashes ! Maybe, as some said, xMule 1.8.0 was a beta. Maybe. Now xMule 1.8.1 is by far the best file sharing tool under GNU/Linux.
Thank you guys.

xmule is not good client.
For example, most of Emule (for win) and Amule (for linux, mac, beos) has "save source on disk".

Xmule still doesn't have it!

IMHO, amule has better GUI: percentage of download on every file on download window, better preferences window, etc

xMule is my first (ok second -- after MLDonkey, which interface i don't like) and last experience with ED2K. I love it. It works. The interface is clean and nice. I use it remote with X and it works flawless. I find things on ED2K which i don't find on Usenet and BitTorrent, which is awesome. For that, i have to thank you!

Right now i'm waiting for a deb for Debian GNU/Linux Sarge to try this release out. But i don't have any complaints about my current version, whatever version it is.
