Oleo... I'll never stop to thank you.
Great choice, so I'll be able to compile again !
Actually adunanza team released a patch for the CVS version of aMule...
I'll check it, it seems will be able to use protocol obfuscation and files > 4Gb...

Give it a chance...

Thank you Oleo for splitting amule into two packages.
The regular amule package works fine for me now: it is stable and files up to 4G are not a problem.
Some tips (might be trivial for most readers...):

• Don't use a FAT filesystem for the Temp and Incoming directories; you will not be able to download large files and amule will crash. Use ext3 instead.
• The built-in stupid-ftpd cannot handle large files >2G. They won't show up in the directory listings. I used proftpd to transfer large files to my PC. I am going to switch to vsftpd and xinetd because a running ftp-daemon prevents the harddrive to spin down.

Some problems I still have:

• Kad connection is lost after a few hours. I read on the aMule site it disconnects from Kad when there hasn't been any Kad activity for a certain time so this might be 'intended behaviour'. I am not the only one that doesn't like this: on the aMule site there is even a script that will restart amuled when the connection is lost/closed!
• After several hours my laptop cannot connect to the router using wireless anymore. Signal strength is OK but the authentication fails. Disabling and re-enabling the routers radio with a PC with a wired connection solves the problem. I read a posting that it might be a heat-related problem but I have not found a clear solution yet...
