💖 ED2K(1) — the aMule utilities girlies 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ed2k(1), the aMule eD2k link parser. this is the little tool that takes your links and yeets them straight into aMule's brain. she's small, she's mighty, she's giving main character energy. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ed2k — aMule eD2k link parser. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ed2k [-c <path>] [-t <num>] [-e] [-l] <eD2k-link>

ed2k [-h]

ed2k [-v]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, ed2k takes the <eD2k-link> you hand it and sends it to aMule. how? she writes it into the file ~/.aMule/ED2KLinks, and aMule is literally checking that file every single second for new links. obsessed. no cap, that's the whole vibe.

here's the whole menu of options, queen:

  • -c <path>, --config-dir=<path> — read the config from <path> instead of your home dir. like, live your truth somewhere else. 🏠➡️📁
  • -t <num>, --category <num> — set the category for the eD2k links you're passing to <num>. ⚠️ heads up bestie: unlike --config-dir, this one reads the value as the next argument, and she does not accept the --category=<num> syntax. she's picky like that, and we respect it. 💅
  • -e, --emulecollection — loads all the links found in the emulecollection given as <ed2k-link>. the whole squad, all at once. 🔥
  • -l, --list — lists all the links found in the emulecollection given as <ed2k-link>. just window shopping, no commitment. 👀
  • -h, --help — prints a short usage description. she'll tell you how to use her. 🎀
  • -v, --version — displays the current version number. iconic, as always. ✨
  • eD2k-link — adds an eD2k-link to the core. 💖

and now, the moment you've all been waiting for — the types of eD2k link she'll accept:

  • a file link (ed2k://|file|...) — it will be added to the download queue. 🍓
  • a server link (ed2k://|server|...) — it will be added to the server list. 🖥️
  • a serverlist link — in which case all the servers in the list will be added to the server list. the whole roster, periodt. 👑
  • a magnet link — 🧲 say less.
  • an emulecollection file — the full collection, bestie. 🌈
⚠️ THE ORDER MATTERS. like, actually matters. do not come for me about this. you can give more than one link, and every link can have its own params. for example:
ed2k <link1> -t2 <link2>

…will download <link1> in the standard category and <link2> in category 2. see? one link, one vibe. two links, two vibes. she's flexible but she needs to know who's who. 💀

📂 FILES 📂

  • ~/.aMule/ED2KLinks

that's the sacred little file. protect her at all costs. 🫶
