dashaund Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I'm trying to find a good eDonkey/eMule client for Mac OS X. I've tried aMule, but it's download speeds are very slow and the program can also be a resources hog. aMule works okay for Linux, but the Mac builds are crummy...evening compiling them on my own. I'm running OSX86, and booting into XP, eMule works GREAT on this machine. I had the same slowness on my 1GHz iMac. Torrents are downloading very well, so I know it's not the machine. I'm been trying to get eMule to run in Darwine and haven't had any success. I downloaded a trial or Crossover and got eMule Plus to run pretty well...but I really don't want to dish out $60. Anyone got any suggestions? I like aMule, especially for the addition of the Kad network, but it's just not speedy enough. I don't mind compiling on my own if anyone has any inisght on how to get it to run better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomnic Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Same slugginess for me... I switched to Linux for this reason... any suggestion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macprodan Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Maybe ACQ / ACQ lite, or Even Shakespear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashaund Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Maybe ACQ / ACQ lite, or Even Shakespear. Thanks, but those those connect to the Gnutella network, right? I've got Limewire for that...I'm looking for an ed2k client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicheusz Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 mldonkey - it os only chose for mac aMule is so buggy and just don't work mldonkey is best P2P client if you get use to it, it support lots protocols and is super light I compiled it without any graph statistic ant it takes only 13 MB, you can set it to watch for incoming torrent files, just setup and forget. No distraction no sluggish on system, quite easy, powerfully, and works as should You can get it throughout MacPort sudo port install mldonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenJ Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Hmm thanks! I see it supports Kad! Something I can't miss I'm still trying to understand macport, o I'll see what I can do this week! I'm quite new into compiling such programs and using macport (just got to know it 2 days ago ) Thanks for your hints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomnic Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 aMule CVS 2.2.0 is doing fine for me (reinstalled mac os x in my webserver), except when I put a lot of downloads together... it can stand 10 files per time... try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicheusz Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I'm still trying to understand macport, o I'll see what I can do this week! I'm quite new into compiling such programs and using macport (just got to know it 2 days ago ) I am not programer and I hate compiling. It don't work for me on linux I always miss some library or header. In mac You Instal Xcode and MacPort as is described on MacForge. And compile everything just by putting in shell sudo port install package. It's easiest compiling I have and it always works for me. Ports take care dependencies. It's powerfull way to manage packages. One of program I compiled that way is privoxy with filter all ads form my browser. I don't find it on internet in universal binary but it was possible by compiling it from MacPorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenJ Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Hmm, for some reason I don't get mldonkey installed on my (G4) mac... When I install it it seems to be in an endless loop, it's busy for half an hour now, dunno what everything means in the -v mode, it's going quite fast too.. I reinstalled OSX on my Mac (not for mlDonkey, it could use a reinstall ) but it still is in an endless loop... Did it take that long too for you guys ? I'm quite bothered with being unable to have a good working ed2k app on my Mac... Don't say to use BT,gnutella,... because I need ed2k for some reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
