Fox ************************************************* I did eventually manage to download with amule. My problem was apparently a wrong choice of source server. While amule/ xmule are basically the same programs, I found amule to have a more polished look. I made the big plunge over the weekend and installed 9.2 to replace my 9.1 install. After spending some time configuring, and MANY hours downloading a lot of updates (on a dialup!), I'm now enjoying 9.2. I am using apollon as a p2p program now, and I find it easy to use. With both FastTrack and OpenFT plugins installed, there always seems to be lots of results.
