moving from eMule to aMule

[lordgara3]

Hi. Is it possible to move all the stats from eMule to aMule? I moved all the downloads, but I can't the stats. Please help me

Hi @lordgara3 — yes, this is possible. eMule and aMule store the same two cumulative counters (total uploaded and downloaded bytes), just in different file formats, so a short script converts one into the other.

I've documented the full procedure here: Importing Statistics. It has a copy-paste converter for both Linux/macOS (bash) and Windows (PowerShell) — nothing extra to install.

The short version:

• eMule keeps the totals in statistics.ini, section [Statistics] (TotalUploadedBytes / TotalDownloadedBytes).
• aMule keeps them in statistics.dat in its config folder.
• Run the converter from the guide while aMule is closed, then copy the resulting statistics.dat into aMule's config directory. If aMule is running, it overwrites the file on exit.

Could you give it a try and let me know if your totals show up correctly in aMule? If anything doesn't line up, tell me and I'll help sort it out.

thank you, it works. Unfortunately only for the total counters.

Good to hear the totals came across. That's expected — aMule only persists those two counters at the moment.

statistics.dat stores exactly a version byte plus total uploaded and total downloaded bytes, and that's all aMule reads back on startup. Everything else in the statistics tree is session-scoped and resets when you restart, so there's nothing on the aMule side for eMule's other cumulative counters (per-client-type up/down, per-port splits, overhead totals, successful/failed sessions, LostFromCorruption, SavedFromCompression, PartsSavedByICH) to be imported into. The converter isn't dropping them — there's simply no destination yet.

If you'd like aMule to keep those across restarts too, that's a reasonable feature request — open one at https://github.com/amule-org/amule/issues/new and mention which counters matter most to you, it helps prioritise what to persist first.
