How can we ensure, that you can download from me? (Update)
Posted: Sun Oct 08, 2006 4:32 pm
Hi!
As you know, I have finished downloading. So my eMule does not search active for sources (for your emule !) anymore. When an eMule does download, it does ask round robin all known servers for sources and will be known by and by to all servers this way. My shared files now are only known to the server, I am connected to.
KAD does not help. KAD does index the shared files and does publish them. The issue is, that KAD does start every 5 hours a new indexing cycle from scratch and so will never finish indexing all my files. Therefore only part of my files (about 700 out of 2512) are avaiable by KAD for you.
The IP of my PC does change every 24 hours, because my ISP does disconnect me every 24 hours. I do an automatically reconnect, but the IP has changed.
So we must introduce a solution, that ensures, that your eMule can find my shared files:
We need to connect all to the same server. As my files are known to it, your eMule will find my eMule and therefore will find the files.
To do this, I will give you the following recipe (Your eMule must be restarted twice at configuration now):
Go to "Options", "Server."
Check "Auto-Update server list at startup".
Klick on "List".
Your editor now does open the file "addresses.dat". The only text line in it may be:
http://www.gruk.org/server.met
If the file is empty, write this text.
Save the file and close the editor.
Now uncheck "Update server list when connecting to a server".
Now uncheck "Update server list when connecting to a client".
Check "Use smart LowID check on connect".
Check "Save connect".
Check "Autoconnect to servers in static list only".
Now leave "Options" with "ok".
Now go again to "Options", than go to "Connection".
Check "Autoconnect on startup".
Check "Reconnect on loss".
Check "ed2k".
Check "KAD". If you have a "Low ID" than please uncheck KAD. KAD does only work with "High ID". If you do not know, whether you have a "Low ID" or a "High ID" than look it up in the window "Servers". You will find it on the right column.
If you have a Low ID, there maybe something is wrong with the configuration of your router or with the configuration of your firewall. Try to find a solution here ->

But there are some cases you simply must live with a Low ID: If you go to the internet through a router of an organisation, it would be only possible for the network administrator of the organisation to open those needed ports for you.
Now leave "Options" with "ok".
In the main window of your eMule click on "Servers", and set all servers, which have "Yes" in the attribut "Static" to "No". You make this by right klick on the server and choose "Remove from static list". When you are finished with all static servers, than mark all servers with your mouse. Right click on the marked lines and klick on "Remove all" and confirm the question with "yes".
Then stop straight away your eMule, wait a few seconds and start it again.
First your eMule will download the new server list from gruk.org.
It then can not connect to a server, because we had checked "Autoconnect to servers in static list only".
Now we will make three servers to static servers (If you choose other servers, it will not work):
Right click on BiG Bang 9, IP 80.239.200.108:3000.
Choose "Add to static list".
Right click again on BiG Bang 9, IP 80.239.200.108:3000.
Choose "Priority" and than choose "High".
For fallback, we configure another two servers.
Right click on BiG Bang 4, IP 80.239.200.103:3000.
Choose "Add to static list".
Right click again on BiG Bang 4, IP 80.239.200.103:3000.Choose "Priority" and than choose "Normal".
Right click on DonkeyServer No2, IP 62.241.53.16:4242.
Choose "Add to static list".
Right click again on DonkeyServer No2, IP 62.241.53.16:4242.
Choose "Priority" and than choose "Low".
Stop your eMule now and restart it after a few seconds.
Now, we are all connected to the same server.

Now, we are all connected to the same server.
