Dear Maintainer,

When launching aMule without any previous configuration in home directory
(~/.aMule) it tries to download server list from default address
http://upd.emule-security.org/server.met. Unfortunately it is not able to
download this file even though file exists and can be downloaded using Firefox.
The same situation occures when aMule tries to boots strap nodes for kademilla
network.

Without server or nodes aMule is not able to operate so it is unusable.

Regards,
Michal

Hi,

aMule 3.0 replaced its HTTP download code with one based on wxWebRequest
(upstream commit 86c4769d86). It follows the http to https redirect that
made the server.met and nodes.dat downloads fail, and the default URLs are
https now. This is fixed in 1:3.0.1-1, so I'm closing this bug.

Regards,
Sandro
