Description

This article is a guideline for Mac-specific issues in aMule. It should help anyone use all the features aMule has to offer on Macs and help with an easy and comfortable setup.

Right/control-click to activate pop-up menus

Many of aMule's features are only accessible through pop-up menus, e.g. pause or cancel a download change the upload or download priority of a file, see file details, etc.

You activate a pop-up menu either by clicking the right mouse button or, if you have a one-button mouse, by holding down the control key on your keyboard and clicking.

There are no visual cues to where these menus exist, so you need to experiment. You may for example try any list of files, clients and servers, all the labels on the top of these lists (e.g. 'File Name') and the bar 'all' at the top of the download window.

Setting up firewall access

In addition to properly configuring your router to handle port forwarding, you need to configure the settings of the built-in firewall that comes included with Mac OS X. To do so:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences.
2. Click on the 'Security' Preferences Pane.
3. Click on the 'Firewall' tab.
4. Click 'New...' on the right side of the tab, which will bring up a drop-down dialogue box.
5. For 'Port Name' select 'Other'; for 'TCP Port Number(s)' enter the same port number as you used in your 'Connection' preferences in aMule; for 'Description' enter something handy to remember what you did, like 'aMule'; click 'OK'.
6. Returning to the 'Firewall' tab, be sure that the port you just created (i.e. 'aMule') is checked.

Now you should be good to go. You can see if you have correctly opened the port by testing here .

Handling ed2k-Links

There are basically four ways to download files with aMule:

1. Search for files using aMule's search dialog and double click those search results that you want to download.
2. Copy ed2k-links from a web page into the 'ED2K-Link Handler' field at the bottom of the search window of aMule and press the commit button. If the ed2k-link is longer than that text field is wide you need to make the aMule window wider until the link fits completely into the field (you can make the aMule window wider than your screen if necessary). We are working on eliminating this issue.
3. Import ed2k-links directly from your browser into aMule. See http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=5679.0 for more details.
4. Use a text editor (e.g. TextEdit) to paste ed2k-links into a 'ED2Links' file inside ~/Library/Application Support/aMule/ and aMule will automatically import those links.
5. Install More Internet Preference Pane or RCDefaultApp and set it to handle ed2k links with /Applications/aMule.app/Contents/MacOS/ed2kHelperScript.app

Setting up aMule's video preview feature

You can use a video player like VLC or Mplayer to preview incomplete downloads of video files. To set up aMule properly for this, go to Preferences -> General. Under 'Video Player', you have to enter '/usr/bin/open -a' together with the path of your video player program.

For example:

Or just '/usr/bin/open' to use the default application for the specific file type - as set up in the finder.

For additional information, see this article.

The way to make aMule handle your ed2k links on your favorite web browser will depend on which web browser you use and which operating system you have installed. So, here's a list of mini-HowTos for each of the most popular web browsers and operating systems.

Have in mind that everywhere on this document, /path/to/ed2k should be replaced with /usr/local/bin/ed2k, /usr/bin/ed2k, c:Program FilesaMuleed2k.exe or whatever, depending on your own system's configuration.

• 1Local handling of ed2k links
  • 1.1GNU/Linux
    • 1.1.1Firefox 2 and 3 (or later)
    • 1.1.2Iceweasel
  • 1.2Windows
  • 1.3Mac OS X
• 2Remote handling of ed2k links
  • 2.2Windows

GNU/Linux

As a general idea, in most Linux systems, self-compiled aMules will install the ed2k utility in /usr/local/bin/ed2k, while package-installed aMules will install it in /usr/bin/ed2k. As an exception, it is known that SuSE packages install it in /usr/local/bin/ed2k.

If you have installed Debian or Ubuntu you must install 'amule-utils' (and 'amule-ed2k' only for Debian) to get this way working.

To know where amule and ed2k are located, just do which amule and which ed2k in console!

Firefox 2 and 3 (or later)

Handling ED2k links in Firefox can be configured in two ways: either for an individual user, or for all users of the computer.

Configuration for a single user

• Insert about:config in the address bar

• Right click on the list, select New, then Boolean; insert network.protocol-handler.external.ed2k as Preference Name and true as Value

• Now another right click, select New and String; insert network.protocol-handler.app.ed2k as Preference Name and /path/to/ed2k (path to where the file is installed on your system) as Value.

For Ubuntu Lucid users, you should set the Value to just 'ed2k' instead of '/usr/bin/ed2k'.

For Firefox 3 and higher only, you should also:

• Right click on the list, select New, then Boolean; insert network.protocol-handler.expose.ed2k as Preference Name and false as Value

After that, click over an ed2k link, and Firefox should ask which app you want to use to open the link. Choose /usr/bin/ed2k and it should work.

System-wide configuration

• Having root privileges, open the file /usr/share/firefox/greprefs/all.js (or /usr/local/share/firefox/greprefs/all.js) in a text editor

• Add the following lines at the end of the file:

Substitute the '/path/to/ed2k' string with the program's real path.

For Firefox 3 and higher only:

• Add yet another line to the all.jsfile:

After saving changes, restart the browser. After clicking over an ed2k link, Firefox should ask which app you want to use to open the link. Choose /usr/local/bin/ed2k and it should work.

Add multiple downloads to aMule at once

Setup Firefox as already explained and install the FireMule module for Firefox.

Iceweasel

Configuration for a single user

In addition to what was said for Firefox, do the following:

• Right click on the list, select New, then Boolean; insert network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ed2k as Preference Name and true as Value.

This is necessary so that Iceweasel asks you which application you want to use to open the link.

Opera

In Opera go to Tools -> Preferences -> Programms -> Add...

In the 'Protocol' field enter ed2k

In the 'Open with another application' field enter /path/to/ed2k

Konqueror

To have ed2k links work from Konqueror you have to add a protocol-file to the directory with the other protocol-files. You can find this directory by searching for file names ending with .protocol. To search run `find /usr -name '*.protocol'` or `find /opt -name '*.protocol'`. If you're not sure about the directory where KDE is installed you can even put / as search path.

If the search was successful, create a file named like ed2k.protocol in the mentioned directory:

Now just restart Konqueror.

NOTE: You might get a security warning. don't worry. it is just warning you that the link is being sent to an external application.

NOTE2: If after clicking OK on the security warning the link is still not being sent to aMule, just right-click on the ed2k link and tell Konqueror to open it in a new window/tab.

Galeon

Execute the following three commands to create the appropriate gconf keys:

• gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ed2k/command '/usr/bin/ed2k '%s'
• gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ed2k/enabled true
• gconftool-2 -t bool -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ed2k/needs_terminal false

Replace '/usr/bin/ed2k' above with the path and name of the ed2k executable on your system.

Uninstalling this protocol handler is similarly simple:

• gconftool-2 -u /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ed2k --recursive-unset

Links

(Probably this will work for the usual links and/or elinks, too)

add to url.c behind the lines about telnet and tn3270:

add to links.h behind the definitions of /* mailto.c */:

add to mailto.c at the end:

add to options_register.c behind telnet and tn3270:

add to intl/*.lng behind

If you want to automatize this stuff, execute the following commands:

Anyway, run afterwards before recompiling links-hacked:

Now you can compile with

Because links somewhat malforms the urls, we need a small bash script handler:

Do not forget to setup links (Options->Network Options->Mail and Telnet Programs) to call our ed2k4links.sh for ed2k links:

Attention: The Percent Mark is important! Now links should work with ed2k links.

Windows

To make Windows aware of the ed2k link protocol we need to add some keys to the registry. Create a file called ed2k.reg and add this code:

Save the file and run it (double click) to add these keys to the registry.

If your config directory is in d:amuleconfig instead of the default place you have to pass it as an option:

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer will recognize ed2k links with just the changes in the registry.

Mac OS X

Adapted from Ken's post in the forum.

1. Run aMule at least once
2. Run Safari (even if you normally use Firefox or another browser)
3. Browse to a page with an ed2k link that you want to download
4. Drag the link to the location field at the top of the window
5. The OS will present a dialog asking if you want to allow a program to run to handle the link. Allow it.

Now, the program that helps aMule handle ed2k links is known to the system.

Safari

If you use Safari, you will have to drag the link to the location field every time. For unclear reasons, Safari will not process ed2k (or other non-Apple protocol) links if you click on them.

Firefox

If you use Firefox, clicking on an ed2k link will work. The first time, for security purposes, Firefox will present a dialog asking if you want to allow the helper program to run. (Yes, even though the OS already asked you the same question.) After that, it will work just as you would expect.

You can also handle links remotely, which means that you click over an ed2k link in a browser somewhere in the world and it gets into your home's aMule queue. It works by using aMuleCMD instead of using the ed2k command.

Linux

Instead of using the ed2k command, use the following as the command to use:

/path/to/amulecmd -h $server -P $pw -c 'Add %u'

Obviously, you'll have to replace $server and $pw with your server's IP (or DNS) and your External Connections password.

NOTE: In Firefox, it is not possible to start a command with parameters. An easy solution is a shell script with the command described above. You only have to replace %u with $1. This shell script must be executable (chmod +x ed2k.sh) and defined as external ed2k app in Firefox.

Windows

Make sure aMule is installed with the aMuleCMD option checked.

We need a batch script to handle the ed2k links from the browser, and we need to add some keys to the registry to make the browser recognize the ed2k links. Things are different for 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows so pick the right section below. After you created the files and updated the registry, configure your browser if neccesary.

32 bit

Create a file named ed2k_remote.bat containing the following code:

Don't forget to replace server and pass with your data and save the file in your aMule directory C:Program FilesaMule.

Create a file named ed2k_remote.reg containing the following code:

Save the file and run it (double click) to add these keys to the registry.

64 bit

Create a file named ed2k_remote.bat containing the following code:

Don't forget to replace server and pass with your data and save the file in your aMule directory C:Program Files (x86)aMule.

Create a file named ed2k_remote_64.reg containing the following code:

Save the file and run it (double click) to add these keys to the registry.

Internet Explorer

You should be OK with just the changes to the registry and the batch script in your aMule directory.

Safari

Safari will take over the settings in the registry, like Internet Explorer.

Chrome

Chrome will take over the settings in the registry. It asks for confirmation, so tick the 'Don't ask me again' box.

Firefox

Ed2k Mac Os X 10.10

The first time you click an ed2k link in Firefox you will get the following dialog:

Tick the Remember box and click OK.

Opera

Open the preferences window and click the Programs tab

Click the Add... button
