If you get an error like this: ''You cannot open the application "amule" because it may be
damaged or incomplete'', right click on ''amule'' then click on ''Show Packages Contents'',
go to Contents>MacOS> and double click on ''amule''.
Next time you start from ''amule.app'' it will run fine.
If you still get the same error, move ''amule.app'' to the desktop and run it from there.
