RTFM? ;)
"Q. I can't download my own shared files - Amster says we're both
firewalled?
A. Amster users can't download from Amster users. The reason is that Amster
currently only implements two out of the four transfer methods. So for now
Amster can't download from/upload to other users that are behind firewall
(including Amster users)".
I discovered this whilst porting the OpenNap server, and couldn't work out
why Amster refused to list the files of other Amster clients. Then I
discovered a line in the server's code which checks if both users are
firewalled or not, and Amster, by default, always pretends to be firewalled
(so that it can use its only supported methods of file transfer).
I tried to contact the authors about it to see if it would be rectified in a
future version, but one never replied and the other's mail server had banned
Demon's mail server. :/
