Configuring eMule by ARCH » Sat Feb 24, 2007 12:50 am

1. Setting up a server list & connecting to an eD2k server 2. Configuring your upload and connection limits 3. Using an IP-Filter to minimize corrupt chunks and improve security

Recommended first-usage instructions! a. Click on the Servers button in the top toolbar; the server list will come to view. b. Select and delete all the servers (or right click and choose Remove All). c. Insert “http://www.gruk.org/server.met.gz” or "http://www.peerates.net/servers.php" in the Update server.m and press Update – do NOT update from any other server lists; these are the only reliable ones from which y

d. Select eDonkeyServer No2 (IP=212.63.206.35:4242), and TV Underground No1 (IP=193.169.86.73:4184) them, and set their Priority to High. e. Load the eMule Options, select the Server tab, and make sure only the two options in the screenshot below Note: Due to the increase in fake ed2k servers that either don't answer search requests at all or answer with b recommended to deactivate the options "Update server list when connecting to server" and "Update server li connects". The risk is too high to get your server list infected with such bogus servers. Note: You need to do these instructions only once, but it’s safe to re-apply them at anytime, so if you haven't do so now (even if it's not first-usage).

What else do I need to know? You will always need to connect to only one eD2k server first at a time. Click on the Servers button in the top server list will come to view. eDonkeyServer No2 usually has the highest number of users (not max users), an one of the best eD2k servers. A server provides only an index for the files that the connected users are sharin 05-02-2012 01:32

for sources is done over the servers. The server list need only be downloaded once. Note: When connecting your client to a server, the server checks to see if other clients can freely connect to y yes, the server assigns your client a so-called high ID. If communication is blocked, the server assigns your c If you have a LowID, please refer to the second part in this guide "Understanding and fixing LowID problem How does my client find new sources? a. Almost immediately after you queue a file, all the sources that are on the same server you are connected to transferred to your client, even LowID sources. b. More sources are detected using UDP search; searches other servers (not closed/private servers though) fo c. More sources are detected using source exchange (SX); clients that are connected to other clients on differe Which server should I connect to? eMule’s UDP search will find all the active sources sooner or later, a little slow but effective. UDP is a conne protocol so it does not even need to connect to the servers. In short it doesn't make a big or small difference t you get connected. UDP search feature will bring sources from other servers after some time without needing to all of them. Connecting to one of the more popular eD2k servers (see below for details) makes it just sligh sources.

You should allow your eD2k client a limited upload of 75% to 80% of your max upload so that it does not slo downloads. You should also consider setting your Max connections to something like 200, as if you keep it to example it might make your browsing or any other internet activity extremely slow, or your router might not of handing the 500 connections in the first place. If you are on a 56k connection, you should put the Max Co to something like 60.

Connections: 400 Download Limit: Unlimited (unchecked) Upload Limit: 48~52kB/s (experiment to find out best value) -Options > Extended Max. New Connections / 5 secs: 30 Note: Remember that connection rate is usually displayed in kbps, b as in bits not bytes (kB/s), so when calc sure you convert kbps to kB/s, eg if you have a 256kbps upload connection you should divide it by 8 to get th 256kbps / 8 = 32kB/s, then 80% of 32kB/s = 32 * 0.8 ~ 25kB/s.

What is an IPFilter and a corrupt chunk? What we basically do here is an attempt to protect eMule from receiving corrupt or fake chunks from other su harmful clients. An IP-Filter is simply a list of IP ranges created (and regularly updated) by various security

trust in the eD2k community. This IPFilter restricts any connection to or from your client to other clients on t eMule. It is possible to use these IPFilters on a global scale using security apps such as ProtoWall, meaning t not only via eMule, but via all internet connections on your operating system. Our prime concern however is eMule protection by integrating that IPFilter into eMule, which is fortunately a very easy task. How do I configure an IPFilter? In the eMule options, click the Security tab. There you simply need to copy/paste one of the two IPFilters lin the Update from this URL: field, then press Reload/Update or just Apply if it's the first time. The filter level s its default value 127. Make sure that Filter Servers too is enabled. You should consider updating your IPfilte 'Reload/Update') every 2 or 3 weeks. Note: Enable Protocol Obfuscation as shown in the screenshot – eMule communication becomes hard to dist random data, thus it bcomes harder to detect the eMule protocol. This helps a lot against ISPs that try to throt internet connection. The paranoid 'pip' ipfilter should be the most important for those who are very concerned about security (not it helps a lot against getting busted and such). If security is not a major concern, the normal ipfilter (nipfilter) fine; it's actually much more friendly in downloads than the panaroid one.

The Blocklist Pro links in that guide are already broke would be best just linking to the actual IP Filters download page if you don't mind. At this point I can say that the NIP & PIP filters will only be availble from Blocklist Pro and the direct links won't be working again for the near future. I know it's a hassle to manually download this stuff bu get some new servers thats about all we can do for now. You can of course make your own IP filter dat files using the Blocklist Manager at anytime with the sa sources that you can find here - BISS IP filters sources list faq, if you can't wait for the Blocklist Pro u try to update the filters there every 1-2 weeks.

These lists need to be downloaded manually. You need to download, unrar with winrar, and make the destina Files\eMule\config (only if your emule is set to a specific c:\). Rename the extracted file to 'ipfilter.dat'. Then Reload button and restart your eMule.
