aMule no more disconnecting

Before updating to latest Merlin firmware aMule in Download master stayed disconnected saying that there was nothing to download and so it was disconnected.

Now it is connected (I think to an invalid server cause is 91.200.42.45 instead of 91.200.42.46) and if I click disconnect it doesn't disconnect. I can't modify IP.
I've tried uninstalling and deleting Optware folder.
But after reinstallation amule keep on running.
I have noticed that after reinstalling, my settings are not lost.

Is there a way to reset Donwload master settings without resetting whole router?
 
I read bad things about amule and its always sharing bullcrap and beating up the routers resources then I installed Transmission with Entware and dont even use the Download Master stuff anymore. The amule settings and stuff should be on your usb connected drive.

Here is Merlins tutorial if you are interested:

Asus's DownloadMaster suffers from various issues: old versions of Transmission and OpenSSL, no way to disable aMule which will hog all your bandwidth, etc...

Optware

After several reinstallation of download master, now aMule is disconnected because no ed2k task.
Also latest download master has latest transmission version.

It works fairly well,
but I think I'll try Transmission too, because of the better windows GUI and the more powerfull option (like selecting which file to download in a torrent..

Entware guide is not valid from my AC68 router, I'll use Optware instead..

Thanks!

EDIT: After rebooting router, aMule is connected again without reason and button disconnect doesn't work.
Probably a bug with Merlin new FW because with previous it doesn't happen.
Anyway I'll definitely give a try to transmission + amule standalone..
