Temp Folder
 

I am new to emule, what I am tryiing to do is I want to have my incoming folder and my temp folder put on my network drive, the problem I have is my temp folder. when I set it all up and restart emule I get a warning at the bottom of the screen and it says
warning //networkdrive/filename/008.part.met
and emule won't respond I have to delete emule and reinstall all over again.:no:

@d3ejmz
please give me a screenshot

@storkersen1
then you shouldn´t use network drives.

Quick question?
 

Hi! I was wondering on when you drop the non-need parts and qued-full from different files, why are they the first ones to show up again? Is there a way when you drop them - they will actually go away and not come back for other people have a chance to help download!
Thanks,

if you drop NNP and FullQueue client from a file, emule first tries to swap them to an other file, because this sources can be good sources for other files.

In the options menu in the directors you hane incoming files and temporary files when I change it to my network drive I get a warning at the bottem left hand corner of the screen it somthing like this

warning \\desktop\filemame\008.part.met

and that is part of the dowload that is in the temorary folder of emule

look at the screenshots, srceenshot2 is where the warning was . I will try to get you the screenshot or the right warning.

[edit by Pathfinder: the second screenshot showed an illegal filename]

Go to the server-window, click on "Log" and look for the message.

Hello, I have been using 0.47c X 5.3.1 for a week or two.
My query/problem is with my client queue and clients jumping the queue. Clients with a lower score, usually with a larger file, are getting upload slots and clients with highest scores are not getting the file. I know they are still there because they actually get an upload slot eventually. For example ->

client 1: (Priority):very low (Score):509 (waited):27min (Dwnld total):36MB (Upld total):0
3 minutes later on the upload list ...
client 2: (Priority):release (Score):26,432 (waited):2:41h (Dwnld total):1.1MB (Upld total):0

This also happened when I was using emule standard, but not as much.
I have read and re-read all the settings info for emule and Xtreme. I have 'played' with most of the settings.
I read somewhere that clients waiting for 30mins or less (or something) get an upload slot.
My question is: what's goin' on. Why can't I 'Release' my files.

I only speak english and sometimes I have problems understanding my own language. ( a comma "," is a seperator and a full stop "." is used as a decimal point.)

Thanks, in advance.

In example 1: Who got the 36 mb? I think you have downloaded these 4 chunks and the creditsystem gives this high score to let you give back something.

If you really want you can disable the creditsystem in "Options" --> "Extended" --> "Use credit system (reward uploaders)". But don't forget that all other clients use a CS and if you don't give back you will slow down your downloads. Some of them may even ban you as a leecher...

I have received zero from them. I have uploaded to them; they have downloaded from me 36MB and 1.1MB respectively.
client 1 (in the example) has a low score - not a high score.

Five hundred and nine is much, much lower than twenty-six thousand four hundred and thirty-two. ( a comma "," is a seperator and a full stop "." is used as a decimal point.)

I believe in the Credit type of system - seems only fair that those that give should have the better chance to receive.

:oops:
And if I understand correct: Both exampleclients got an uploadslot? It seems you have mulitqueue enabled. Uncheck in "Options" --> "Xtreme 1" --> Uploadmanagement" the box "One queue per file".

Kind Regards
aalerich

@Tojo - sometimes people confuse the issue because at the detail window of a client you read "Uploaded" (right side). But it means the upload of the client to you, accordingly the "Downloaded".

Ok, thanks for your reply aalerich, and yes seppl12, it can be confusing as to which is which wrt Up/Down loading and which one recieved or uploaded.

aalerich, yes, both clients did get an upload slot (eventually for client 2).
As I stated before, I have read (and tried to absorb the meanings of) all the settings help for eMule and Xtreme, but my memory "ain't wot it yousta be".
I have 'played' with the settings to see the effects that they have.
NO - I do not have multiqueue enabled because I saw the effect of enabling multiqueue.
aalerich, if you like, you can ask me my specific settings and I will happily supply the information. Sentences that start with "Sounds like..." are full of assumption and speculation.

I remember reading on eMule Xtreme Mod official homepage :
"only clients get into upload which where seen the last 30 minutes"
Please be assured that in the example I gave (especially with client 2), the clients where re-asking regularly and that they where always last seen within thirty minutes.

So, I re-iterate, why are some of my
- - - (clients:- that are waiting to download from me ; that are waiting for me to upload to them ; that are waiting to receive a file from me)
clients with a lower score (and hence a higher Queuerank) jumping the queue ahead of others and getting an upload slot <- before -> other clients that have been waiting longer, with higher scores (and hence a lower Queuerank).

Thank you for your patience.

I will endeavour to get screen captures of:
upload; queue list; statistics; and some settings pages for you if you like (with the appropriate areas blanked out).
This query is perplexing. If you ask me to "just live with it, they eventually get the files", then, I guess I will have to.

Thank you.

"It seems..." is a speculation, of course. And I speculate again when I ask if there are LowIDs involved. I often see LowIDs for hours (up to 8 ) on QR 1 and in these cases they have very high scores but don't get a slot. And if a LowID has reached a score high enough to get an uploadslot they will be marked and get a slot on their next connect. If you lower the priority of the file they want after they were marked their score will be reduced but they still get a slot on next connect.

Kind Regards
aalerich

yes... also for me the low-id clients came to my mind.

@Tojo
a screenshot of your uploadqueue would also help to understand your problem.

Hi everybody.

XMan great job, congratulations.

Let me present myself : I live in the south of Europe in a remote area with a little bandwidth and limited traffic (I pay for every 100 Mb).

I use emule mostly to collect information that is not on the internet (for my hobbies) and old songs not available anymore in the shops. The files I download are usually small (sometimes a few Kb only) with a few sources (many times not available). I never downloaded a film (it will cost me more than the original) any way I don’t have a DVD player.

I think that’s enough for you to get a global image.

I am registering to report a problem with Xtreme because I didn’t find any e:mail address for that, I wont participate mush in the forum but everybody can count on me if I can help.

Soon I will post the bug.

Alain.

PS : every body can see that my English is bad an my writing worst !

Hi (again).

I have been using eMule (standard) for a while. Last week somebody (I think he is in the forum too) told me about the
“xtreme mod”. I went thru it’s features, it “sounded” serious and I liked very much :

Stop this client
Chunk selection method (I don’t like the new zz method)
and others . . .

Nice to have :

Country information (and flag)
Funny nicks
(Now that I am used it, I like a few more things and dislike some ones too, future posts . . .)
Downloaded the package.
Created a directory named “eMuleX”
Copied my emule directory to it
Copied xtreme files over
Launched the new emule.exe

I noticed that it was using the \emule\incoming and \emule\temp directories so I changed them to \emulex\incoming and
\emulex\temp.

I used it during a couple of days before deciding if I will keep it or not. Because I was happy with it I deleted the old
emule directory before noticing the problem with the counters (the bug).

Basically xtreme recognize the uploaded and downloaded counters from the “standard” emule but it is not able to “upgrade”
them, only counters for new clients are.

I will try to attach a few screen shots showing it. On “Screen1” you can see a client downloading. On “Screen2” you can see
a client that is giving me for the first time 1.91Mb look at “tranfered down” counter. “Screen3” one more example.

I suppose the problem is on the “clients.met” file, I don’t want to lose my statistics and my client history but I am
afraid to go back to the “standard” emule not knowing how it will handle the appended data.

What can I do ?
Thanks,
Alain.

Note I sent basically the same message to the e:mail address for dumps, sorry.

In the next xtreme-mod
 

Hello:

In the next version of xtreme-mod you should add in the scheduler-emule one new action? The new action is the possibility delete automaticaly the sources that are with full-queue, don´t need parts and leechers in yours downloads list.

Option / Scheduler / New action

I´m sorry for my poor english.

Thanks!:i:

Hola:

En la proxima version del xtreme-mod podriais añadir en el programador del emule una nueva accion? La nueva accion consiste en la posibilidad de eliminar automaticamente las fuentes que esten con la cola llena, que no tengan las partes que queramos y las sanguijuelas de nuestra lista de descargas.

Opciones / Programador / Nueva Accion

Gracias! :i:

disparos@hotmail.com

this function is already integrated. you may not change values used in this function, though. if you do wish so, consider using scarangel. check out the sivka file settings, their.

Ok... i use the scarangel mod.

Thanks!

@LeDepayse: Both clients identification is "invalid". If you have a lot of invalid clients you have lost the file preferences.dat or the cryptkey.dat. If you can't restore them your credits are lost. Close emule and delete both files, emule will create two new files.

Kind Regards
aalerich

Thanks aalerich.

I deleted both files and it works.

In the attached screen shot this client had uploaded (from me) 65.15 MB when it started and now it is counting.

A nice to have would be the possibility to browse the clients.met the same way we can (with “xtreme”) the known.met.

Regards,
Alain.

Hi everybody.

Did you ever asked yourself those questions ?

In a search many times they are files with the same file name and size only the amount of sources is different (usually many with 1 or 2 sources and one with more).

When you are waiting for a very rare file from one source only, if there is another client with “no available parts” this mean that it is requesting that file too. If you are lucky to get it first you know that the other client will be in your queue very soon, but some times this doesn’t happen.

Last example, I don’t want to annoy you !

In a search you get twice the same file one in green (downloaded "not realy") and one in red (shared).

With Xtreme (tanks Xman) it is possible to browse the known.met (downloaded history) and to put some order in it. The attached image shows some examples.

I think this happen when you receive a damaged file, emule recovers it and gives it a new ID.

It may look like a "bug" but it is great how it is because it creates a duplicated entry and you can see the original ID in case you want to redownload that file (anyway it’s simpler than having a flag / field showing that the file was recovered).

Some words about corrupted files : recently a client was giving me a damaged file the only way I had to prevent it was to cancel that download when this client was in the sources. At the time I wasn’t using Xtreme and couldn’t stop it, I also didn’t have “Funny Nicks” to quickly identify it. Some thing simple could be done to reject a source for a file (kept in memory, valid only for that session).

Bye,
Alain.

when I try to import my downloads this is the message I get unknown or bad format of temporary file

Warning!--a messege was showed when i logged on server
 

it showed me like that 'Warning! DonkeyServer No2 - CP949 (Korean locale) filenames converted to Unicode UTF-8. Please use an Unicode ready client. (eMule 0.46c for example)'
last time i log on , there wasn't any warning messege ...
i really don't know what happened...
can any one help me ?

Unless you don't use an ancient version of emule you can ignore the message.

Kind Regards
aalerich

So instead of just removing the link like a decent moderator would PATHFINDER you removed the whole thread:clap well thanks for ****all.

If I had removed the whole thread, how the hell would you be able to still write a post in it? After all it was you who violated the board rules, so at least have the descency to admit that.

--> 5-day-ban for pissing me off on a sunday.

Help please, corrupted xtrememule
 

Hello
First of all, sorry by posting in english, but I need help and I don't know where I could post, and thanks for ur attention!

Yesterday I opened Xtreme Emule (last ver.) and suddenly it closed (I had done nothing special, no connected, nothing that I can remember).

Next time I tried to open it, this message is show to me:

http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/8614/errorhd5.jpg

I had generated the file and emailed to there email account, but I understand that the dev. group of this mod is working and had no time, so I post here for getting help of anybody!

The fact is that I had saved the emule folder since years (saving from formatings, etc) only installing updates of emule (last times, only xtreme mod) and I'm scared of lost my credits ;( (many GB uploaded, thurst me!).
So I apreciate all help for solve this problem!

The generated dmp file is here:
http://netvibes.box.net/ping/downloa...96e8fb000fa23e

Thanks in advance for the help! I apreciate ur help!

You can save your credits by creating a new directory, installing emule completely new in it and then copying the files
clients.met
cryptkey.dat
preferences.dat
from the old config-folder to the new one. You can keep your friendlist by copying the file
emfriends.met.

Kind Regards
aalerich

Where I can check if my credits are correctly applied in the new emule copy?
thanks in advance!

Look for some clients in your upload or queue you have already shared with. If they are secure identified everything is fine.

Kind Regards
aalerich

I think that something is wrong, cause in the stadistics only appears 200 know clients...:

http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/7430/200pr5.jpg

The fact is that the "corrupted" file must be one on the config file. If I can know what is, I will use my normal emule and only overwrite these wrong file.

Salud and thanks!

you should delete the files, aalerich mentioned. Of course you will loose your credits... but it´s better than to upload with bad identification and not gain credits anymore.

ooh my credits :(
another solution?
I was using these credits for... 4 years aprox. tons and tons of Gb shared :(

Check only overwriting "preferences.ini" on ur config folder!
I think that the corrupted file is the preferences.ini

Confirmated: If you only overwrite the preferences.ini the "bug" is solved. I'm searching (comparing a original preferences.ini with my corrupted one) the errors that supossely it contains.

Edit 2:
I had upload the result of "compare files" on textpad:
http://netvibes.box.net/ping/downloa...0f1447d7e5cda6
I can't see any relevance for make crash emule xtreme...

Hi! Since I changed to the 5.4 version, ell the servers refuse to connect.
Got to go back to the 5.3.1 version.
What's the problem?
TKS.

have you got a router? the xtreme select random port, so if in your router you've forwarded for ex. 4662, you must set this port in your new xtreme-installation!

greetings
myth88

ps. there is an english support 3d! http://www.emule-web.de/board/10178-...h-support.html

your firewall !?

Edit:
myth was faster ;-)

the random ports can only be a issue if he did a clean installation.

Don'have any router neither firewall....
Will try a clean installation...
TKS.

Last round....
Made a clean istallation , and the same problem.
I'll kleep the old version and go on , finding what's the problem.
Thnks for the help anyway.
CU

thank you very much,but i have re-installed it.if the problem appeared again,i can fix it
