Hi,

Is there any output when aMule crashes? (Start it in a terminal). If it's an aMule error, you would help us to fix this error and if this a package error (probably related to crypto++), we can work with the Arch developers on this.

Anyway: You can't do it with pacman, because Arch is rolling release. This means that installing an old aMule 2.1.3 package would only work if you installed old version of every depending package - wxwidgets, glibc, ... And you don't want this.

If you insist on using aMule 2.1.3 (which is very old, contains known bugs and missing features in eD2k-support), you'll have to compile it yourself. In order to build it against wx 2.8, you'll have to apply a patch which you can find in the aMule forums.

You should be able to find older versions in your cache like shown below, unless you've manually purged it.

However as wuischke mentioned, it would be better to report/resolve the current bugs rather than just downgrading, and it probably won't even run properly (actually it sounds like a guarantee based on what wuischke has said).

# cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg
# ls amule*
# pacman -U amule-OLD.VERSION.pkg.tar.gz

I got amule 2.2.1 from source.
Removed amule 2.2.2
Install with pacman crypto++
compile amule 2.2.1 ...

It works now.
I will give it time and post if it fails...

Anyone - how and to who to send crash report ???

Ok. It also crashed after 10 minutes. So the problem is not wmule version.
I will send it to amule bugs forum...

Well, you can send me a mail ([forum username]@amule.org) or post a bug report (if it's very long put it in a text file and attach it) to the aMule forums.

In any case, I would recommend using aMule 2.2.2 (or 2.2.3pre, which is a bug fix version based on 2.2.2) over using aMule 2.2.1 due to fixed bugs.
