Hi Epsilon,

I had the same problem when I installed Xtreme in my girlfriend's PC and I managed to fix it. I can't remember exactly how I did it, as I've got a different firewall and it was some time ago. However, I think that what I did was to remove emule.exe from the list of programs managed by the firewall. Then, when I tried next to run emule.exe, the firewall asked me what to do, but only once!! then everything went smooth. Give it a try.

hi everybody
i switched to 4.8.1, and sadly problem is back, and seem to deal with antileech thing...

here's what i typically get from leechers's log:

each xtreme failure result in many download sessions killed, and despite my +1000 sources (that i usually manage with no hurts) my DL never exceed 10 KB/s...quite boring!
and my ratio tend to 14:1, that's making me just a supernode for UL...

@pieroboy
I don't have any idea what's going wrong at you. Most important is: the upload must be stable (white or yellow graph-line). If it is stable the only thing I can imagine is, that your provider is filtering out some packets. Try out the official emule if it works for you.

@Demonskull
this client doesn't have any credits... I have to check this for choosing the correct calculation methode.

this is important to not be unfair in any way.
Example1: the other client uploaded me 1 GB. I don't want to give it a negative score after giving back one chunk
Example2: One month ago I uploaded to this client 1 GB (maybe I released a file).. I don't want to punish this client! The negative bonusfactor should only be session-based.

@Epsilon:
you have to disable "Internet Worm Protection"

Hi Xman,

I understand your position, although I'm not yet sure if I share it, I have to think about it.

The thing is that my download rarely goes over 10kbs (being the mean value around 5kbs), while my upload is always around 30kbs, so I'm a litle bit upset. I'm trying to find the reason for that U/D asymmetry.

You mentioned the possibility of the ISP filtering some packets. Is that a common practise? can it be avoided somehow?

Thanx for your help and your prompt reply!!

DemonSkull

coding a creditsystem, you always should care of that it won't become a trading system.

I know only some german ISP which thottles p2p traffic... but there are also non german ISPs. You can look at a emule board of your country to find that out... or have a look at emule-project.net

PS: in some cases it's enough to change the emule ports.

Re:
 

That's fair enough, I give you the reason in that.

I'll try to find out if someone has the same ISP and what is his experience, as you suggest.

Thanks a lot again!!

by the way, despite the fact i'm a french user, i'm on club-internet.fr which 's Tonline which is part of Deutsch TELECOM, and for proof, many peering pass by deustch TCOM when i tracert...

basically, it tell me that a client called "my dude" has the same hash and ip than....himself!! and so cut connexion....

any idea ?
and thanxs xman for your very prompt and serious reaction

[edit by Pathfinder: Client IP-adresses have to be removed from log-postings]

that's part of the official emule... when there are more clients with the same IP/Hash want to download from you, they will be removed from your uploadqueue. Most probably it's a old leecherclient.

Please check out the official emule if it works without problems.

thanks

i did try the 0.46/0.47 releases, and it's the same behaviour..
so my issue seems to not be related to xtreme in any way..:naughty
thanks for help, will look on the provider side:sb

pierre

thanks for checking this out. It's important for me to know there is no bug in my code ;-)

good luck at finding the real reason for your problem.

Pierre you're right, your problem is not coming from Xtreme, I thought that too and changed my mod (even though Xtreme worked like a charm)... It's coming from your provider Club-Internet, see -->

So I just keep on using Xtreme and just hope CI will soon fix this problem... :yes:

thanks, and you're right, problems comes from my ISP C-I which use part of 9Telecom DSLAM and backbone.....

But it's solved for me cause i switched 6 days ago to CI (real T-online=deutsch TELECOM:clap ) own network , which , by the way , really rocks!!!
i'm now on ADSL2+ and that's just great !!!
enjoy your XTREME !!!:beer:

Hey guys ! I've got a problem with USA servers. Looks like I can't connect or when I do I get a low ID.




[edit by Pathfinder: removed screenshot - own IP adress must not be visible]


As you can see it's not firewall problem since I get a high ID on any other servers (in this example on Razorback 2.0) nor is an ISP problem, since I tested the same servers with another eMule MOD and they are all working.

It looks to me like they are all rejecting Xtreme for some reason.

Thanks.

Never mind.

My bad. Should have checked logs more carefully. They were all in the IP filter.

Everything's ok now.

On a side note. I'm glad to see servers adding up to almost 20 M users. And that being without kademlia. Maybe with kad 2 we'll get to be even more and unite all p2p users in one BIG network.
Great MOD guys. Keep up the good work.

5.0 b1

Since my german isnt the best I'll take it here.

Had one crash when adding a file this morning, but no problem during the night or since restarting.

Also when raising the UL slot speed to 15 the total UL speed drops a lot (between 400 and 500kbyte/s in upload) i have now lowered it to 10 again and speeds are up to around 800kbyte/s again

was a crash dump created ? if yes I need it, otherwise I can't find the bug.

did you enable "use double sendsize" ? you should do it with your high upload.

Yes i do use double sendbuffer. It did create a dump, where do i send it?

please send it to emulextreme@yahoo.de

Hello,Tasemagu. There is a reason those servers are part of ipfilter.dat.
There are no 20M users on ed2k but maybe 3-4M.
Better geta clean server.met, eg. at www.gruk.org

Sent! Regards Isengrim.

Is the first time i write on this forum. I have the new test version,
I have a broadband cable 4096/256 KBs.
I think the most, the old one, 4.8.2 was better for me in terms of downloads,, I don´t know of sure but Ibelieve i have a problem of Trafic shaping in portugal. I think with this new version, i have a litle less speed of downloads than with th older one, My upload are the same as the older one, i didn´t change anything from 4.8.2 to 5.1 beta.
Until now, 3 days without problems or crashes.
Now, my extrem is running very well, after i pached my tcpip.
If i may say, is the best mod i ever used.

I´m gonna to write in english.
This is the best mod i ever new. My only problem is the traffic shaping from netcabo.pt. I have no problems with uploads, but i have problems qith downloads, beacuse they ar´nt stable.

Hello,

Can you explain me what is the "Upload Management" in the "Xtreme I" section in the options?
I have only 16 KB/s upload bandwidth, how should I configure this section for best results?

have a look at the Xtreme-Homepage
all settings are explaind.. also in english language.

Thanks a lot!!!!!
But I couldn't understand one thing:
I have little upload bandwidth (16 KB/s), and I've got the NAFC enabled.
Which sendbuffer is recommended for me?

I recommend the standard-value of 8192

Hi Xman!

I've found a problem, when uploading and there are few clients downloading from me xtreme doesnt use all bandwith if some has slow downloading, if a few clients downloads like 2-3k and most can download much faster they dont get all speed that they can recieve, instead they only get about 25-30k and thus only using ½ of my totalt upload. It only happens when i dont have any in cueue, and about 25-40 dowloading, if it is very few (like less than 10) they get maximum speed they can recieve.

I've found that 10k gives me best stability in uploadspeed.

Yes, the uploadspeed gets instable, but allways higher when there are very few clients then with 25-40 clients. With that amount the uploads stays stable at 500-600kbyte/s, if there are more i get stable at 900kbyte/s and with fewer its unstable between 750 and 900 depeending on how much they actually can recieve.

And when there are that magic number inbetween youll se that uploadspeed to those who can recieve massive is the same for all fast clients. Normally 25-30k, if there are fewer and the same guys are downloading they get over 100k without a problem.

In this (normal) case is there an empty waitingqueue? And is the slotspeed most of clients at your adjusted value of 10k?

At the other cases what happen if you disable the option "open more slots ..."?

Hallo Isengrim,

what I understand is:

empty Queue and

uploading to

< 25 clients --> upload instable @ 750-900 kb/s
25-40 clients --> upload stable @ 500-600 kb/s
> 40 clients --> upload stable @ 900 kb/s

slotspeed

< 25 clients --> a client gets what he can take, if this is 100k he gets it
25-40 clients --> (known) clients who can take 100k gets only 25-30k, the result is wasted (unused) bandwith
> 40 clients --> fast takers get 25-30k but since there are enough downloaders there is only a little bit of bandwith wasted

Is this correct or did I misunderstood you?

Kind regards
aalerich

aalerich, almost right on target

This line would be:
> 60 clients --> fast takers get 10-15k but since there are enough downloaders there is only a little bit of bandwith wasted

since I have 10k as slotspeed, havnt that much experience with 40-60 clients that i can say exactly how it is inbetween.

Use more slots is disabled and use double sendsize is enabled.

A picture with few clients, UL slot speed 10k, maximum UL 998.4.

http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/4052/lh3ok.jpg

As u can see, fast downloaders dont get the speed they could get.

I read it now for the fifth time.. but I don't get your problem.
You know yourself, that there are many clients which can't take the speed you want to give.. they are "blocking" to oftenly.
More uploading clients should always be-> more stable upload.

when I understand you right, you say
if only < 25 clients in upload your upload is higher than with ~40 clients ?
You should recheck it... maybe the 25 clients you saw first where all "non blocking" clients, and later you had many blocking clients.

In one of the next versions (not to soon) I'll add an additional info how often a client is blocking.

Edit:
and you should share more files! Maybe a patch in Xtreme is slowing down your upload... the full upload speed is only given free, when you have more than uploadlimit/uploadclients/2 slots opened. In your case this should be about ~50

Edit 2:
ok.. I looked through the code.. and I'm sure it is the patch which reduces the uplaod until you have reached the minimum of uploadslots. I only wonder why this problem doesn't exist with very few slots.
However last week I already changed this patch... in the next version you shouldn't have the problem any more.

Im looking forward for that patch, great work as allways Xman.

You all know that some files has alot of clients wanting that file so they are in fact blocking other more rare files even when using prio. When i reach a 20:1 ratio on those files ill remove them, which normally is when they get complete or just a few moments after that for me...

Like now, downloading an album, 100M added it for 40m ago, ive got 4parts so far, but allready UL 150M on that file.

Im not complaining about it, but that is how a run my mule.

Also i didnt see the ulspeed as a problem more just like a strange behaviour, maybe i should have used that word instead, sorry for that.

Regards.

no problem ;-)
It's good to get some feedback from a person with a high uploadspeed.
Next version will have so many deep changes, I'm very interesseted on your experience with that version. I hope I can release it this week.

When I thougt about it a feature [when file downloaded and (ulratio >20:1 and complete sources >9) put file on hold until complete source is <4] would be nice maybe with a twist like if ULspeed < ½ total ULspeed then remove hold :-D

Just thinking loud.

Regards!

A question, i want to ban a client that checks for my shared files list 2-3 times a day and i really dont like it. How do i do to ban him?

You can't permanently ban a client by hand (it's not allowed). The only thing you can do is to put him in your ipfilter (for 24 hours, if he has a nonstatic ip ... don't forget to delete after that) or you show your files only friends or nobody.
