Description

The status bar allows to easily view general useful information about the current aMule session.

It is placed at the bottom of the main window and looks like this:

Usage

The status bar is divided into several sections:

Log

You can see the last line printed into the log at the left most part of the statusbar:

The line might be only partially shown if it is larger than the space left in the statusbar. In this case it comes very useful to click in the information button by the text.

When clicked, a window will popup displaying the complete line.

Users

aMule tries to calculate the amount of users currently connected to the networks it is connected to.

The first number in the Users field corresponds to the estimated amount of users currently connected to the ed2k network.

The second number in that field corresponds to the estimated amount of users connected to the Kademlia network.

Files

aMule also tries to calculate the amount of currently available files on the networks it is connected to.

Again, the first number in the Files field corresponds to the estimated amount of files currently available in the ed2k network.

The statusbar provides a handy way to know the bandwidth aMule is efectively taking.

In the Up field you can see the upload speed it is performing.
