Initiative, please try to use AICH for ED2K link

First of all, here is a brief and clear basic knowledge. In order to keep the layout and your reading more comfortable, I use a picture as the main display, but you could also view the text version in spoiler:

@popdrome once talked about how to copy it in aMule (In fact, it is not the mac version, but all platforms):

I have an aMule client (the mac version of eMule).

First I put the file in my shared folder. Then I wait for aMule to register it.
In the shared files list, I right-click the link. I have then 3 ways I can copy the link to clipboard:
1. a magnet link
2. an ED2K link
3. an ED2K link (AICH)

It's the third one emuler was asking for.
I've found this online:
https://forum.emule-project.net/index.p ... 9a06de3ea5

it's a learning curve I guess!

But in fact you could do this also in eMule.
In the Shared Files panel, right-click on files open Show ED2K Link in menu and you will find that it generates a ed2k link with the "h=" field.
Yes, you got it!

In addition to AICH, you could also include HASH (Message Digest) information for your files when posting to help further file consistency and integrity verification.

You could use the OpenSSL command line tool, or any graphical tool to generate and check HASH values, for example:

The best way to verify file consistency and integrity is still to calculate HASH (Message Digest) information, for example: [Code]

And in fact, file hosts like pixeldrain also provide SHA256 hash for us to verify the integrity and consistency of files:

And pixeldrain actually has very good records about file metadata, such as:

From your quote, I remembered popdrome's post. Re-reading the thread, I had to laugh at my frustration.

But in fact you could do this also in eMule.
In the Shared Files panel, right-click on files open Show ED2K Link in menu and you will find that it generates a ed2k link with the "h=" field.
Yes, you got it!

Thank goodness, that is how I already retrieve ED2K links!

AICH hash is not included in eMule search, right? I suppose you can get AICH hash once you have the complete file.

For instance, the links you posted at https://www.first-loves.com/forums/view ... 63#p122263 do not include AICH hash.

Yes and No.

I don't think the ED2K Servers will store and index AICH info.

So when your search source is "Servers", you probably won't get it.

But if your search from "Kad Network" and the peer client supports the feature, you should be able to get it.

Finally, of course, you could always calculate them from local files.

I suppose you can get AICH hash once you have the complete file.

To be clear, that accompanying AICH is only significant from the initial sharer, since we can assume that the file is intact at that point.

Sharing an AICH from the Kad network may not be significant because you cannot be sure that the file at that peer is intact, i.e., it may already have "bit rot". You may get the wrong AICH value and the client will usually handle it automatically.
