Getting started

To start leeching with Muguito, go to the Muguito page and follow the instructions, or just follow this link. Java Web Start should download the latest version of Muguito and launch the application.

You may get a warning that the application's signature cannot be verified. There should be an option which you can activate if you don't want this warning in the future.

Once Muguito has been started, click the Start button to start leeching. Muguito will download the target list from aa419.org and switch to the Stats tab, where you can see how fast Muguito is currently leeching and how much it has leeched in total.

Targets

The Targets tab lets you view each target in detail. To the left is a list of all targets, and to the right is a panel with information about the currently selected target.

Each entry in the list of targets has an icon and a background color to mark the target's state and health.

The icon's shape indicates whether Muguito is currently trying to leech the target:

  • play symbol: Muguito is actively leeching
  • pause symbol: Muguito is pausing to reduce server load

The icon's color indicates whether the last download succeeded (green) or not (red).

The entry's background color indicates the target's health:
