docs: document importing eMule statistics into aMule - #195
Merged
Conversation
The migration guide claimed eMule statistics could not be imported. Both clients store the same two cumulative counters (total uploaded and downloaded bytes), only in different container formats: eMule in statistics.ini [Statistics] as decimals, aMule in statistics.dat as a version byte plus two little-endian uint64s. Replace the "Statistics Cannot Be Imported" section with a conversion procedure (bash and PowerShell), drop statistics.ini from the "can be ignored" list, and update the summary table.

The migration guide stated eMule statistics could not be imported. They can — eMule and aMule store the same two cumulative counters (total uploaded / downloaded bytes), just in different container formats:
statistics.ini,[Statistics], decimalTotalUploadedBytes/TotalDownloadedBytesstatistics.dat, a0x00version byte followed by two little-endian uint64s (uploaded, then downloaded)The values map 1:1, so a short script converts one to the other.
Changes:
statistics.inifrom the "not used / can be ignored" list — it is the import source.Both converters were verified byte-for-byte against a real eMule
