i'm still a beginner aswell...... but try this

rename it to aMule
open the folder with it in, right click anywhere in the window and from the menu select 'window' then 'terminal here' . then type this into the terminal and press return. Then try clicking on your file again, see if it works.

Code: Select all

chmod +x aMule

Hi,

I had already sent you a PM. If it works then put it here (in your own words perhaps).

My regards

@superstar: You mean eD2K links from your browser? You have to set the 'application type' on it.
You mean the servers of the list?

Hi superstar....

i've since found out that the portable version doesn't support direct links from your browser. However i made a pet of the portable version for lupu520 which does, it can be downloaded here.

http://uploadingit.com/d/ZRPGNPUX02VJQ2YT
MD5 fb6cca3e36266edf6d0751b315ccb198

After installing you will need to configure your browser, information on how to do that can be found here http://wiki.amule.org/index.php/Ed2k_links_handling

When configured, clicking on a link in your browse doesn't automatically open amule, however when you next open amule the links will be there. If you click a link when amule is open, it appears in amule imediately.

thanks for your replies.

1st - last time it seemed to work with a website. now it doesn't seem to work with a different website.

2nd - yes i did make changes in browser to recognize the ed2k files.

3rd - thanks for the pet. i'm going to try it out and post back how it goes.
is there any changes i need to do so that it doesn't run as a root application? i use to get this warning. i just didn't know how to fix it.


thanks!

sorry superstar, i had a look for a solution for chrome to handle the links, but couldn't find a way, seems every other browser can but chrome is problematic. you can still copy the link and paste it into amule, ..bit annoying i know. or use a different browser.

firefox works with the links but you have to do this.......

Type about:config into the address bar and press return (don't worry about the warning)

Right click anywhere on the list, select 'New', then 'Boolean'; insert

Code: Select all

network.protocol-handler.external.ed2k
as Preference Name and 'true' as Value

Now another right click, select 'New' and 'String'; insert

Code: Select all

network.protocol-handler.app.ed2k
as Preference Name and /usr/bin/ed2k as Value.


For firefox 3 and above there's One more Right click on the list, select 'New', then 'Boolean'; insert

Code: Select all

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.
