how to avoid double downloads with eMule
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 6:56 pm
Hi all,
after a serious virus infection (my first in over 15 online years) I re-installed eMule from scratch on a new PC. Then reconnected my 500Gig external USB drive, and told eMule where to find the shared files (3-4-5 complete, and 407 files (223 Gig) of 6-Men).
I seem to have two problems:
1) some of my files are missing when I look into the eMule Shared Files window. For example my 3-Men directory has 10 files but eMule only shows 9, even after pressing "Reload". (the KNK.NBB file is missing). There may be several others (in total today I have 10+60+220+407 files when looking with windows explorer, but of those 697 files on disk, eMule only shows 692 files as being shared... how come?
2) worse: when I open the "All" 33 or 41 pawnless link on http://kd.lab.nig.ac.jp/chess/tablebases-online/ and click 'Download' to paste them into eMule, I can see one message "You already have xxxyyy.emd" (there are hopefully more messages like that, but there is no scrollable messages window in eMule with this info). But when I start downloading, I can see it downloads files that I already have!
Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Should I paste each link one by one???
Any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Roger
