File

Name: known.met

Location:

  • Unix: ~/.aMule
  • Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\aMule
  • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/aMule

Description

This file stores the hashes and some details (name, size, date, priority, notes) of your shared files. This avoids the need to recalculate their hashes, which can take some time for large (think of Gigabytes) files.

Format

One variable length binary block for each file. The length of a block depends on the number of available tags for the file.

Example

None, because of the file format being binary.

Notes

This file gets updated each time a hashing has taken place. It is also update when aMule is shutting down.
