http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_shared1.jpg

Usage

There are two main things you can do from this window:

  • Manage your shared files
  • See your shared file's statistics

Managing files

The window has a big box listing all the files you are sharing.

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_shared2.jpg

Remember that a shared file is:

  • Any file in the directories you are sharing (see Preferences)
  • Any file you have completed and is still in the Incoming directory
  • Any file you are downloading that has already a chunk completed (only the completed chunks are shared)

Now, by selecting a file (or files) and right-clicking it you can perform some operations on it.

http://www.amule.org/dev-up/window_shared4.jpg

General

This are the operations available:

  • Priority Allows you to set an upload priority to the file
  • Add Comment/Rating allows you to set a comment and/or rating. This is described later in this article
  • Rename allows you to rename the file on your local system. This is described later in this article
  • Get Razorback2's stats for this file opens a Razoback2's statistics page for that file on your web browser
  • Copy ED2k link to clipboard copies the file's ed2k link to the clipboard
  • Copy ED2k link to clipboard (Source) copies the file's ed2k link to the clipboard adding you as a source to the link (so other clients downloading the file from that link will know you have that file from the very beginning and try to download it from you)
  • Copy ED2k link to clipboard (Hostname) does the same as Copy ED2k link to clipboard (Source) but tries to resolve your hostname address instea of providing your IP

In this window you can enter some useful text (comment) for other users downloading the same file to be able to read it. This text should be strictly related to the file and should have no more than 50 characters.
