Dear Maintainer,

When I was working on an amule 2.3.1's fork which relies on precisely checking
peers' modstring,  I found amule(both the fork and the official one) somtimes
cannot get them from some (not all) connected peers, and those peers are not
Ghost Mods, verified by an emule xtreme client.

Please help, Thanks.

Hello Tianming,

I guess the best help I can offer is to suggest you to contact the
upstream developers at amule.org

Hi,

aMule only shows a mod string when the peer sends one (the ET_MOD_VERSION
tag), so peers that don't send it have none. There's no sign of a bug in
aMule here, so I'm closing this report.

Regards,
Sandro
