Dedicated eMule server?

I've read some past posts about files not being indexed the best with certain servers, limitations and so forth.
Is there any possible advantages to running a server with settings optimized for us? I'm sure pachnes would love sitting there tweaking it for us all
Not to mention the fun stats we could have of what durations people have been connected and so forth.
Just a thought,
Derek

Hi Derek,
we need no dedicated server for our community, but we should all connect to the same server, as than all sources are concentrated at one of them.
I suggest, to choose a small server, which does run lugdunum 17.14. The server should support obfuscation and must have a soft- and hardwarelimt of at least 2512 files.
We all should enable the obfuscated protocol in "Options", "Security", as there are a few members from Brazil and from a few providers around the world, which suffer from a try of their ISPs, to slow down the speed for p2p-networks. With an obfuscated connection, this is not so easy for them anymore.
And sure, if we all would have a high ID, we would not need a connection to a server at all. A connection to s server is a must only for clients with a Low ID. A connection between two clients with Low ID can only be established with the help of a server.
KAD would be enough to find at least one other client. Our eMule than would find all sources via Source Exchange with the other clients.
