Hi, I wanted to test xmule in my AMD64 gentoo, I added ~amd64 for this purpose to this ebuild. The result is a very unstable program, it doesn't crash nor quit, but It hangs after a little period of time, and randomly (sometimes when searching something, sometimes when changing from one tab to another (for example changing from servers and downloads tab), etc... I suggest someone to test it and to hard mask (-amd64) if it is convenient. Thank you.

Maybe program is unstable or is it an 64bits arch problem? (I have seen though the internet that there are more people having this issue of unstability)
Maybe you should try 1.13.6 which isn't in the portage tree yet. "Additionally, 64-bit support has been increased, however, it is still sometimes impossible to source files in 64-bit mode." from the annoncement of the 1.13.6 version
Ok, but remember, as I said before, searching through google I saw many and many people having this issue with xmule (not only amd64 arch), so this is the reason I was asking for someone else to test it :)
A few months after, as a reporter, I suggest everyone to use mldonkey, it at least as good as xmule/amule and does not have any [serious] problem.
Xmule died
