Description
This file contains up to 5 sources for a file in aMule's download queue. This are known as seed.
Format
The format of this files is as follows:
- Number of sources <- Amount of sources that will be listed (8 bits unsigned integer)
- For each source it has:
- Source's ID <- The source's ID (4 bytes unsigned integer in little endian)
- Source's port <- The source's port (2 bytes unsigned integer in little endian)
The whole file is then written in packets of 2 bytes in [little endian]].
Example
This is the contents of a valid seeds file:

Notes
- Since from a LowID you cannot tell it's IP, LowID clients should never make it into seeds files since it would be impossible to locate them later. So, seeds files only contain HighID sources.
- aMule limits the amount of sources that can be listed to 5, but the file format could accept up to 255 sources (since the number of sources is told through an 8 bits unsigned integer).
