But for a HighID(check under ed2k info), if there’s a firewall we need disable it or add a rule into firewall config file, and if your computer connect to a router need to allow 4662 TCP, 4665 UDP, 4672 UDP on your ip. Slot allocation, to decide the number of remote clientsĪMule is available in official ubuntu repository, just run the commands in Applications -> Accessoires -> Terminal: sudo apt-get install amule amule-utils amule-gnome-supportĪfter that, find aMule under Applications -> Internet menu.Īt first launch, aMule automatically update ed2k and Kad servers. Online signature, source exchange, compressed transfers, secure identification, and IP filter supportīoolean search, which can be local, global, or in the Kad network It has a wide range of features, including many of the original eMule client, like:

Oh, they also sent me a wikipedia article about aMule, which made me even more confused.AMule is an eMule-like peer-to-peer file sharing application, designed to connect to the eDonkey and Kad networks.

I also contacted the TP-Link support for answers but was basically left with 'No, there is no security implications of leavning this as is.' And 'It has to do with aMule or something' and that is a direct quote. I also consider myself reasonably tech-savy but I have never ever heard about aMule before. I have no intention of using this feature and have left the Offline Downloads setting disabled, but I find it kind of sketchy for TP-Link to hard-code this IP into the firmware. Is this weird or am I just being paranoid? User guide for reference: (Scroll all the way to the bottom). The IP itself seems to be hard-coded into the firmware since the same IP appears in the user guide for the C7 router.

If the source is a URL for aMule, click Advanced in the Offline Download section and specify the aMule server IP address and port number, and then click Save.Īnd to my surprise, some public IP and Port number seems to already be filled in, without any option to change/disable it without using this feature. So I was scrolling through the settings of my new TP-Link Archer C7 router when I stumbled upon this setting called 'Offline Downloads'.
