aMule 3.0.1

Version 3.0.1 — "bugfixes and polish"

2026-06-24

First point release after the 3.0.0 rebirth, and the first cut entirely on the new amule-org/amule repository. 147 merged PRs of post-launch work: a new IP2Country preferences panel, remote-GUI (amulegui) improvements over EC, smarter search, AICH request rate-limiting, a top-to-bottom WebUI / WebServer modernization and security pass, a Weblate-driven translation pipeline, and a one-click release process. No on-disk format or config changes — a drop-in upgrade from 3.0.0.

Highlights

• IP2Country preferences panel. A new Preferences page to choose the GeoIP source — DB-IP, MaxMind, or a custom URL — instead of editing config by hand (#113). IP2Country is now enabled by default and hard-fails at configure if the dependency is missing (#119).
• Remote GUI over EC. amulegui now populates the Server Info tab from amuled (#120), keeps statistics and Kad graphs alive across tab switches (#135), and stops offering preferences it can't actually push to the daemon (#122).
• Smarter search. Modern file formats and corrected extension categories in the type filter (#189), new Length / Bitrate / Codec columns in results (#139), a working Related Files lookup (#154), and global search that works even with Kad disabled (#38).
• AICH anti-abuse + speed. OP_AICHREQUEST is now rate-limited via CheckForAggressive(), and LoadHashSet gained an O(1) root-hash → offset cache with a self-healing linear-scan fallback, so AICH recovery on large known2 files no longer rescans the whole file per request (#186, #191, #193).
• WebUI / WebServer reborn. The default web template was dragged out of its 2005 Dreamweaver origins: HTML5 doctype, presentational markup migrated to style.css, the maquette.dwt template and dead MM_* rollover JavaScript removed, favicon refreshed, and the whole thing re-encoded as UTF-8. On top of the cleanup came real features — select-all checkboxes, a working priority selector on the Shared page, download/delete confirmation with file counts, auto-refresh that pauses while rows are selected, button tooltips, and unified styling and size/speed units.
• WebUI security hardening. XSS defences (htmlspecialchars + addslashes, sort-param whitelisting), CWebSocket request-parser hardening and memory-leak fixes, and a sweep of the embedded PHP interpreter (php_core_lib, php_amule_lib, php_syntree, php_native_split) fixing memory frees, base16/base64 handling, and long-standing parser bugs.
• Translations via Weblate. Translation now flows through a hosted Weblate instance feeding the repo, with a --no-wrap catalog policy and build-time po4a manpage rendering; sixteen catalog-update rounds landed this cycle.
• One-click releases. Maintainers can cut a release from the GitHub Actions UI — pick a version, and the workflow tags, builds every platform, verifies the artifact set, and assembles a draft Release (#234).

IP2Country

• New Preferences panel to select the GeoIP source: DB-IP, MaxMind, or a custom URL (#113).
• Enabled by default; configure hard-fails when the dependency is missing rather than silently disabling (#119).

Remote GUI & Platform

• amulegui populates the Server Info tab from amuled over EC (#120) and stops offering preferences it can't push to the daemon (#122).
• Statistics + Kad graphs stay populated across tab switches (#135); the Kad status bar refreshes after StopKad() (#133).
• Theme-aware colours: list-control text (#179) and statistics labels (#128) no longer hardcode *wxBLACK/BLUE/RED, fixing legibility on dark themes.
• Window-state persistence: Messages columns + minimized-window geometry saved (#138); macOS persists list-control settings on Dock → Quit (#141).
• macOS Preferences left-rail tab icons padded (#130).
• wxWebSession-cleanup _Exit workaround applied on all platforms to avoid a shutdown crash (#159).

Search & Networking

• Global search works with Kad disabled (#38); Windows EC search fixed by using wxUIntPtr for m_currentSearch (#39).
• File-type filter: miscategorised extensions corrected and modern formats added (#189).
• Result columns: Length, Bitrate, Codec added (#139); Directories column moved to the end (#142).
• Related Files lookup fixed; TCP/UDP server flags shown in Release builds too (#154).
• EC search lifecycle: the prior Kad search is stopped when the EC client starts a new one (#36); late ed2k server replies dropped after the client switches to Kad (#37).
• SO_REUSEADDR on the UDP socket so it rebinds cleanly after suspend/resume (#121).
• Server Info log cleared at the transition source on ed2k disconnect / server switch (#163, #164).
• UPnP ASCII tolower() scoped under LC_CTYPE=C so non-C locales don't corrupt device matching (#208).
• Full path logged when an ed2k link collides with an existing file (#172).

AICH & Hashing

• OP_AICHREQUEST rate-limited via CheckForAggressive() and LoadHashSet made O(1) through a root-hash → offset cache (#186).
• True linear-scan fallback when the cached offset is stale (#191); the cache self-heals on a successful rewind (#193).
• UDP file-info handler short-circuits when the requesting client is banned (#192).

WebUI & WebServer

The biggest theme of the release by volume — driven mainly by ngosang, with the embedded-PHP work by RealGreenDragon.

Template modernization:

• HTML5 doctype adopted; layout glitches from the switch corrected (#110, #204).
• Presentational HTML attributes migrated to semantic CSS — text/element attrs (#95), table/iframe attrs (#102), inline <style> blocks consolidated into style.css (#89), JS nav rollovers replaced with CSS :hover (#92).
• Dead Dreamweaver scaffolding removed: the maquette.dwt template (#88), MM_* JavaScript extracted then deleted once shown to be no-ops (#90, #93), stale onLoad tree calls in stats_tree.php (#111), and small deprecated CSS/HTML leftovers (#105).
• <script> blocks moved into <head> (#84); structural HTML errors corrected (#87); stray style.css brace removed and formatting normalized (#78); shared-files page re-encoded as UTF-8 with English alt-text (#80); higher-resolution transparent favicon (#112).

New WebUI features:

• Priority selector wired up on the Shared page (#210).
• Select-all checkbox on file tables (#212); auto-refresh pauses while checkboxes are selected (#213) and avoids the form-resubmission prompt (#230).
• Download/delete actions confirm with a file count (#214).
• Search-page controls improved (#215); button tooltips and clickable images (#216).
• Unified button styles (#217), form controls (#206), and file size + speed units (#218); footer-bar background (#219); logo links home to Transfers (#209); clearer dropdown option labels (#207); footer "Download link" refreshes the main page (#81).

WebUI bug fixes:

• Sorting downloads by sources never worked — fixed (#75).
• Wrong MByte/GByte multipliers in the search size filters corrected (#76).
• Division-by-zero guard on the downloads-page percentages (#83).
• Login error message now actually shown, and made readable (#82, #96).
• Static .css/.js served to unauthenticated clients so the login page styles correctly (#97).
• amuleweb honours the per-user template dir when spawned by the GUI (#72); copy-pasted preferences code removed from the log page (#74).
• ed2k links can be added via the footer links form (#145); search results cleared across cycles and on new search (#33).

Embedded PHP interpreter:

• Memory freed correctly when casting array values (#108) and for for() header expression lists (#109).
• OtherFunctions base16 decode, base64 footer append, duplicate .asf entry, and mp3 comment handling corrected (#30).
• Interpreter sweep: php_native_split (#146), php_core_lib (#150), php_amule_lib_standalone (#151), php_amule_lib (#152), php_syntree (#153), with follow-ups (#155, #156).

WebUI Security

• XSS hardening: htmlspecialchars + addslashes builtins added and remote-controlled strings escaped (#106); the search sort param whitelisted before being stored in the session (#107); broad WebUI/WebServer backend hardening (#91).
• CWebSocket request parsing hardened for header casing, body bounds, cookie conversion, and MinGW portability (#27, #28); CWebSocket memory leaks fixed and review findings addressed (#29).

Translations & i18n

• Translation moved to a hosted Weblate workflow feeding the repo; the README points contributors there (#71). Catalog rounds: #57, #66, #100, #123, #147, #160, #165, #170, #184, #187, #199, #200, #202, #211, #229, #235; Brazilian Portuguese also refreshed by hand (#7), and the IP2Country strings translated into Italian (#129).
• --no-wrap policy adopted for the app catalogs (#61) and extended to the manpage .po files (#67).
• Non-ASCII output fixes: the logger writes stdout/stderr via utf8_str (#42); locale is initialised so non-ASCII strings stop mangling under the default C locale (#205, fixes #203); a real newline is used in a comment-dialog tooltip (#70).
• Windows SPANISHINTERNATIONAL routed to po/es.po (#64).

Build System & CI

• One-click release workflow from the Actions UI: tag → full matrix → artifact-manifest gate → draft Release (#234). Repo bootstrap: issue/PR templates (#12). The manpages-sync CI check disabled where Weblate PRs broke it (#68).
• cryptopp-modern accepted by the build, with packager-friendly flags (#169); versioned libatomic.so.1 accepted in find_library (#176).
• BUILD_TESTING off by default (#49); options.cmake typo/casing cleanup (#50); a pofiles dependency added to every NLS-aware executable (#98).
• LLP64 portability: unsafe uses of long cleaned up (#65).
• Toolbar ID collision with manually-added IDs resolved (#52); SearchDlg FALSE macro replaced with false (...

aMule 3.0.0

3.0.0 — The "alive again" version

Hi! We are back.

This is the first major release in 5+ years (since 2.3.3, 2021-02-07). Headline changes are dramatic throughput improvements, full build-system overhaul, modernized dependency stack, native binaries for Linux / macOS / Windows, and a broad legacy-API cleanup.

We went through hard times, we missed programmers and maintainers. There were doubts whether aMule could reemerge. People called aMule a dead project. But eD2k still has users, and those users need working software. So here we are — back to bring you the best eD2k client.

One unfortunate thing happened: Gonosztopi, one of aMule's most prolific devs, who has been the maintainer for many years, is missing. We have no news from him (we hope you are well, man!). And he was the only owner of the original GitHub repo. The other members left in amule-project do not have enough rights on the organization to properly manage the project. So we were forced to create a new one. New org, new repos, but the same folks.

You can find the new aMule site here.

You will find everything there: the home page, complete documentation, download links, news and links to the source code.

Highlights

• Throughput rewrite. Disk I/O moved off the main thread, ASIO/EPOLLET races fixed, throttlers replaced with proper token-bucket limiters. Peer-to-peer download on the same hardware sees ~100–380× speedups across macOS / Linux / Windows over 2.3.3, plus aMule 3.0.0 sustains ~4.8× the upload throughput of eMule 0.70b on Windows. See Performance for the full matrix and per-PR breakdown.
• Both throttlers (MaxUpload, MaxDownload) were also broken pre-fix — MaxUpload=0 capped at "current rate + 5 KB/s", MaxDownload was a ratio controller rather than a literal cap. Both rewritten (#461, #491). Important user-facing bug fixes, but secondary to the headline numbers.
• Big-library / big-shareset scaling. Follow-up wave targeting nodes with 100 k+ shared files: per-file EC payload caches (amule-project#725, amule-project#736), skip-unchanged EC updates (amule-project#727), local-peer ZLIB bypass (amule-project#728), and a string of O(N²) → O(N log N) / O(1) algorithmic fixes across SharedFileList, SharedFilesCtrl, KnownFileList, wxListCtrl, ExternalConn, and amuleweb — the WebUI / amulegui stay responsive even on libraries where the previous GUI took minutes to redraw.
• CMake replaces autotools. Single build system, modern toolchain — minimum CMake 3.10, minimum wxWidgets 3.2.0.
• Native binaries for every major desktop. AppImage (x86_64 + aarch64), Flatpak (x86_64 + aarch64), macOS Universal2 .dmg (now bundling aMuleGUI.app alongside aMule.app, #529), Windows portable .zip and NSIS installer (x64 + ARM64, amule-project#740). First-run desktop integration prompt for AppImage; cross-platform autostart-on-login toggle (amule-project#744).
• Auto-rescan of shared folders. wxFileSystemWatcher-driven (amule-project#591), with recursive vs explicit-share intent split (amule-project#606) and coverage of Incoming + per-category Incoming dirs (amule-project#743).
• HTTPS works again. CHTTPDownloadThread rewritten on top of wxWebRequest; the hand-rolled stack had silently stopped working against modern TLS.
• Kad parallel searches with alpha-frontier widening.
• MaxMindDB replaces deprecated GeoIP for IP→country.

Performance

Throughput work landed across April 2026. The bottom-line cross-platform
numbers first, then the per-PR contributions that produced them.

Cross-platform end-to-end (2.3.3 vs 3.0.0)

Leecher platform	2.3.3 (sustained)	3.0.0 (sustained)	Speedup
macOS (Apple Silicon, Mac Studio)	0.35 MB/s	135 MB/s	381×
Linux ARM (UTM VM, Ubuntu 25.10)	0.34 MB/s	117 MB/s	345×
Windows ARM (UTM VM, Windows 11)	0.36 MB/s	39 MB/s	107×

Sustained over a 90 s window, single LAN peer downloading a 30 GB file
from an x86_64 Linux seeder running the same aMule version under test.

Per-platform breakdown of the seeder-side vs leecher-side contributions:

Platform	2.3.3	+ seeder fix	+ leecher fix (3.0.0)
macOS	0.35 MB/s	30 MB/s	135 MB/s
Linux	0.34 MB/s	20 MB/s	117 MB/s
Windows	0.36 MB/s	6.8 MB/s	39 MB/s

The seeder-side contribution (PR #451 CUploadDiskIOThread + ASIO fixes)
dominates everywhere; the leecher-side contribution (#454 partfile-write
offload + #484 throttler-wake fix + #491 token-bucket cap) stacks another
~4–6× on top.

vs eMule 0.70b (Windows · same UTM hardware)

Direction	eMule 0.70b	aMule 3.0.0	Speedup
Upload (Windows seeds → Mac leecher)	22 MB/s	106 MB/s	~4.8×
Download (Linux seeds → Windows leeches)	20 MB/s	39 MB/s	~1.9×

Upload

• #451 — eMule CUploadDiskIOThread port. Disk reads + ed2k packet construction off the main thread, RC4 stream-desync race fixed in the ASIO layer, EPOLLET spurious-wakeup fix in HandleRead, adaptive per-slot packet sizing (10 KiB → EMBLOCKSIZE). Dominant contributor to the upload gain.
• #461 — MaxUpload=0 is now literal unlimited. The legacy code set allowedDataRate = current_rate + 5 KB/s per iteration — a tracking cap that pinned the uplink at a fraction of capacity on any link above a few hundred KB/s.
• #436 — Speed-limit fields widened from uint16 to uint32. Legacy 65,534 KB/s (~524 Mbps) configuration ceiling gone; gigabit-class links can now be configured.
• #463 — Bandwidth-cap UI. Spin button ceiling 19,375 → 1,000,000 KB/s; field width 100 → 140 px so the + button no longer clips off on modern themes. Slot Allocation cap 100 → 100,000 KB/s.
• amule-project#898 — Default SlotAllocation raised from 2 kB/s to 10 kB/s. The previous default (set in 2005) fragmented uploads into so many sub-slot slices that fast peers were rate-shaped down to a trickle.

Download

• #454 — CPartFileWriteThread. Disk writes for downloads moved off the main thread.
• #484 — Throttler-wake fix. UploadBandwidthThrottler::Entry() adaptive backoff dozed for 5–25 ms between control-queue pumps, stalling the request→response loop. Empty→non-empty wake gate added on the control-queue path, plus IOCP-native async_read_some on Windows, wxMutex → std::mutex, and decoupling m_MaxBlockRequests from per-packet block count. The biggest win on Windows specifically.
• #491 — MaxDownload is now a literal byte/sec cap. The legacy code was a closed-loop ratio controller that nudged each peer's rate ±5%/tick relative to its own current speed, so MaxDownload=20000 (20 MB/s) shaped traffic toward whatever the aggregate converged on — generally well below configured. Replaced with a global token bucket (CDownloadBandwidthThrottler) enforcing the cap to within 2.5% across platforms.
• #498 — Per-part hash verification deferred to a dedicated worker thread (only runs when the file isn't actively transferring). Follow-ups #499, #500.

Other

• #467 — ASIO handler binding modernised. boost::bind → C++11 lambda, strand.wrap() → bind_executor(), deadline_timer → steady_timer, null_buffers → async_wait(wait_read). Fixes the long-standing boost::bind placeholder warning. Minimum Boost bumped 1.47 → 1.70.
• #504 — Fast-path bare-filename comparison skips wxGetCwd().

Big-library / big-shareset scaling

A follow-up wave targeting nodes with 100 k+ shared files, where the daemon ↔ GUI / WebUI / amuleweb traffic and several internal data structures were quadratic in the shareset size:

• EC payload caches. Per-file ed2k:// link and partmet basename cached on CKnownFile / CPartFile so EC enumeration stops rebuilding them on every tick (amule-project#725). Per-file byte cache covers the FULL GET_SHARED_FILES / GET_DLOAD_QUEUE paths so wire-marshalling cost drops by orders of magnitude on huge sharesets (amule-project#736).
• EC skip-unchanged. Per-file change tracking infrastructure threaded through every field-change site so INC_UPDATE only re-sends what actually moved, with a backward-compatible partial-update protocol opt-in for amuleweb (amule-project#727 — landed as a 6-commit series). MarkECChanged gaps closed for paused / user-action setters.
• Local-peer EC bypass. ZLIB compression skipped on local peers (amule-project#728), receiver limit raised to 256 MB, and the locality decision later moved to the client side with a user override checkbox / --force-zlib flag (amule-project#840 — handles the WireGuard-as-LAN case).
• O(N²) → O(N log N) / O(1) algorithmic fixes.
  • SharedFilesCtrl bulk-update API skips per-row repaints during ClearED2KPublishInfo (amule-project#561, #2bf9b8f34).
  • SharedFileList keyword indexing in Reload (amule-project#566).
  • known2.met AICH SaveHashSet dedup made O(1) (amule-project#581).
  • known.met hash-collision dedup on Init dropped to O(N log N) (amule-project#584).
  • wxListCtrl::FindItem(data) O(N) → O(1) via user-data hash map (amule-project#614).
  • ExternalConn file-list enumeration snapshotted to avoid O(N²) GetFileByIndex loops (amule-project#687).
  • amuleweb array_push_back made O(N) via cached scan hint (amule-project#689).
  • KnownFileList indexes its size-map by (size, mtime) instead of size alone to cut false-positive collision-dedup walks (amule-project#593).
• Disk I/O. CFile gains a 64 KB userspace write buffer to coalesce metadata-save syscalls (amule-project#573); the buffer was subsequently moved off the stack onto the heap so it survives musl's 128 KiB pthread stack, and an internal recursive_mutex was added to serialise buffer + fd access against the concurrent-corruption race surfaced on Alpine (amule-project#576). SavePartFile switched to atomic-rename (amule-project#670) and gated on an in-memory dirty flag so periodic ticks only touch disk when something actually changed (amule-project#671). Upload-stats persistence on 10-min heartbeat when only stats moved (#e8363bf42).
• Memory bounds....

• Added pkg.m4 from pkg-config-0.23
• Ported Kademlia Protocol Version 8 from eMule0.49b.
  • Kad now ignores multiple IDs pointing to one IP in routing request answers
  • When calculating the total user count, Kad now uses (if available) the real number of firewalled clients for the calculation instead a fixed value. This will take more effect when 0.49+ nodes become common
  • Kad no longer tries to add UDP firewalled (and therefore mostly unreachable) nodes into its routing table, reducing overhead and increasing reliability [Idea: Netfinity]
  • Optimized the Kad packettracking code to only track packets which we check later, to save resources
  • Fixed a bug which let Kad sometimes assume a Kad2 contact to be Kad1 after probing for both versions
  • Did first small step in dropping Kad1 support by not probing unknown Kad contacts for Kad1 anymore to save overhead. Kad1 clients will nevertheless still be work for now.
  • Several changes were made to Kad in order to defy routing attacks researched by University of Minnesota guys [Peng Wang, James Tyra, Eric Chan-Tin, Tyson Malchow, Denis Foo Kune, Nicholas Hopper, Yongdae Kim], in particular:
    • Kad contacts will only be able to update themself in others routing tables if they provide the proper key (supported by 0.49a+ nodes) in order to make it impossible to hijack them
    • Kad uses now a three-way-handshake (or for older version a similar check) for new contacts, making sure they do not use a spoofed IP
    • Unverified contacts are not used for routing tasks
  • When reading a nodes.dat without any verified contacts (possible an old file version), aMule will assume all contacts to be verified to avoid slowing down the connecting process
  • Implemented a special nodes.dat file version suitable for mass distribution.
• Fixed not sending sources for clients that did not announce their part availability.
• Fixed all list columns being disabled in case of invalid data in config file.
• Fixed directory tree not available.

• Do not unregister if no service is found
• Save the found service even if subscription has failed
• Fix for initialization of "resultstr" in cryptopp.m4.
• Fix for message "Duplicate partfile with hash..." in DonwloadQueue.cpp. It was using deleted corrupted data.
• amule_build_install.sh now uses -a flag in unzip so that cryptopp files are properly converted from DOS text format.
