A maintenance release 0.60d has been published in Github.

It features minor fixes and improvements.

The link is in the topmost post.
Can we now draw a line under the 60 series as reasonably stable, and move to the 70 series for reasons discussed with MorphXT interoperatibility being foremost?
Will it break anything to do so?Will it cause grief?

(Thanks for the work Fox. It's definitely working better in Wine and Win10)

Hello!

Is there any possibility that you add to the options display tab a way to increase font size for searches, transfers, servers and the options itself?

Weak sight is an issue here ...

Thanks in advance!

Hi!
Unfortunately, these changes are non-trivial, and Options dialog is particularly tricky because it relies on fixed sizes.
It might be done some day, but hardly in a very near future.
Until then, please use Windows' display scaling capability or Magnifier application.

Fox what do you think about kmule?
Why not develop a version based on it?

Kmule is not working at all on my win 10 home 64...maybe is too old...the last update is 2016...
no way to change language..test ports..and even to connecting to kad...
what a pity...
:(

I thought that a emule kad only version will be a good idea (there are few good servers now)

With most eMule clients you can choose to just use the KAD network :flowers:

i've emule and i was able to set it in order to have ports test not failing and so on...
so i'm able to set..
more over kmule that should be easier..
but i repeat in my case
win 10 home 64
i repeat that
no way to change language..test ports..and even to connecting to kad...


and i subscribe also this last post:

Error: Encountered Improper Argument when starting, stopping, canceling, or mostly interacting with corrupt files. These files were generally files that failed to decompress properly. It seems that the way that part files are handled upon completion may be cause for issue. The program does not verify that the file was properly decompressed and transferred from the temp to the complete folder before attempting to remove its data. When it does so, it does so partially resulting in a blank file name and partial data which causes the program to partially crash upon attempting to interact with it. This would also be a likely vector of attack.
What's more, the program has a few nested for and while statements that are incomplete which handle the emule server connection. While connecting, it places the entire program into that for/while loop until the connections are completed. This takes SEVERAL minutes to complete and could be fixed by parallelizing code and (possibly) fixing the incomplete brackets. While the incomplete brackets are not required for compilation, I imagine that they would be helpful in assisting the preprocessor in optimizing code for vectorization before compiling.
Also, I know this has likely been brought up before, but the code really needs to be optimized for multiple cores. This would allow it to handle transfers on one core while handling connections on another, and hashing on another, decompression on another, etc. As it stands, just connecting to an emule server results in the program maxing out a single core to just 1/x of the processor's capability for several minutes while holding up the rest of the program. While this doesn't result in the entire system crashing, it makes for a very annoying experience using emule.

What version of eMule you are using and where from you have downloaded it?

What version of eMule you are using and where from you have downloaded it?

v0.60d from the emule-project website. It was a similar issue with v0.60c. I believe the issue comes from the order in which it handles tasks associated with completing downloads. There are a few corrupt met files likely from various application crashes which resulted in a complete system crash with the earlier version. If it let it run for too long, it would eventually just freeze everything to the point that even the keyboard wouldn't respond. It hasn't been an issue since version d came out, but it can't handle the corrupt met files well enough to even remove them from the list. If I try to tell it to stop or cancel, it claims to be an invalid arguement error and crashes the file list portion of the application while the rest of it works flawlessly. I can even exit the application and start my downloads again until it hits the blank file names.
But I definitely want to stress how emule server connection needs to be optimized to not bring the entire application to a screeching halt for 5 minutes until it's done. Have you spotted the incomplete for loop brackets that I mentioned previously? I'm fairly sure that the nested loops could be optimized better.

Such incomplete loop simply would not compile.

Have you seen this topic?

Also your eMule settings might be incorrect; and something should be done with corrupt .met files (repair or import, for example).

From that topic, simply because something is not dynamically linked doesn't mean that it doesn't have the code included within the program itself. If anything, it would make it more difficult to diagnose and debug the actual issue because it's the whole program. Also, as for the loop, such a loop would actually compile because it's not absolutely required to be closed. It's more-so just so that the pre-compiler would be able to recognize it properly and for good practice that it should be done. In this case, the first iteration of for doesn't require the brackets. It's really just a statement at that point. Once further statements are made within it, it becomes a compound statement and those other statements need to be (and are) quarantined off from the original. So, while it would compile, the lack of those brackets may make it difficult for optimizations to be completed that otherwise may.
I'm not sure how I would repair the met files lest I use a separate program entirely. Does eMule include a repair function somewhere that I'm not familiar with?

As for the source of the error itself, it's highly likely that the error is caused by the attempt to read the temporary file (null) to determine if a preview is possible. Hence why it would only check during specific instances and not during startup of the program itself.

Plug and Play isn't entirely the best method to use for port forwarding. It would need to be enabled in your router and your firewall and there's no guarantee that it would even work correctly then. Your best bet would be manually forwarding the ports or setting your router and firewall to allow all used by the emule program.

Question. Does Emule 0.60 (whatever version) have the Spreadbar to more or less estimate how much we distributed a file given its chunks?

There is no Spreadbar in Community version. I did not even know it existed, and see no obvious practical use for it. Rough estimation could be done by comparing uploaded amount with file size.

Yes that is another way, only it is a "nice to have" feature (either spreadbar or ratio as you mentioned) as one may want to have an overview on its files rather than estimating it for every file shared every now and then.

Besides on the part "I didn't know it existed". I think there were lots of nice to have features implemented in mods (new and old) that will be overlooked because simply people didn't know about those. This is not a critique, rather an observation. I wonder how many do we miss that were already worked out in code (although not a perfect one).

Notice: testing of the version 0.60 has been completed.
Thanks to everyone who tried pre-release builds; your bug reports were most helpful.

Several issues found in the version 0.60c were fixed, and a newer version was prepared.

The current release is available at: eMule 0.60d community

Those who update by overwriting eMule.exe file, should also update eMule.tmpl file and contents of webserver directory.

The release might be published as Community version on the Downloads page of this site.
This publishing usually takes time, while Github page always has the latest version.
Please note, that 64-bit builds can be found on Github only (the link was given just above); the Downloads page of emule-project site has only 32-bit builds.


List of changes and notes from the times of testing are under the spoiler.
Spoiler


In 64-bit Windows it is possible to use well know "overwrite the executable" kind of upgrade as the simplest way to switch between 32-bit and 64-bit builds or versions - there and back.
Of course, external DLLs (MediaInfo.dll, for one) must have the same bitness as eMule itself.


how to set ita lang for 60.d...?...in opt general tab there is engl and if i try to change to ita i got a pop up error : fails to dl ita lang...
how to solve?
thxs so much in adv
cheers
