There's strange problem with amule daemon and kad network. When I start amuled it connects kad no problem but in about 15-45 min it just disconnects and doesn't connect again. Have anybody had similar problems or sollution to this?

Yes, and it's a known issue (for at least a year now I think) with no signs of fixes coming :cry: Someone mentioned on the amule forums that the code used is different between the daemon and GUI versions (I've no idea why there's separate code) but I don't think any of the developers actually use the daemon version. I keep meaning to try and dig into it but I've not had any time yet.

I think when I'm too fedup with this I will write quick'n'dirty fix for this. Just check every second if it's connected. If not reconnect.

I was reading the same problem in aMule forums and it seems that building the aMule as monolith should fix the problem.

Yes, the standard (monolithic) GUI version works fine, which is the odd thing. They'd seem not to be sharing the code between the two methods.

Yeah, I set up a shell script in my crontab to automatically check if KAD is connected, and if it isn't it restarts the amule daemon. However, after the script restarts the daemon a few times everything on my network seems to slow down. I'm not a network guru but I believe when KAD fails on amuled it creates some kind of traffic that bogs down my router. Power-cycling the router and cable modem seems to fix the network slowdown issue. Right now I can't get into my server at all which means the router is probably fubar until i can go home and reboot it.

I really wish somebody could fix amuled as it's very useful and not nearly as slow and resource-hungry as the graphical version.

There seems to be some progress happening on the amule forums - there's a workaround patch that'll avoid the need to restart anyway.
