I did some searches last night and am currently still downloading some of the results.
However, since this morning my searches get zero results, in any file types.
I only use the 6 Donkey servers and have tried changing to each of them but still without success.
Given I'm still downloading OK I'm stumped???
-
Nope, donkey servers are no longer safe.
-
Wow that was quick!
So does that mean previous directions for dealing with fake servers no longer apply?
And if so how do I reconfiger my server settings?
Would fake servers be the issue if I'm still able to download?
Thanks

Notice DSx have 0 files.
-
Oh yeah...........is this permanent?
So I should re-check Auto update Server list at start up?
-
I hadn't noticed that DSx have 0 files. Any idea what has happened to them? technical issues maybe? Because I also noticed that most of my sources come from kad, and a few source exchange and passive, none by server.
Thanks

Hmmm first all the BigBang/ByteDevils servers and now all the DonkeyServers. Makes you think and realize that how important central servers are and the vital role they play when it comes to searching/caching/indexing file hash/tables. This is why we need cental servers and decentralized KAD can't ever replace or pick up the load efficiently. Its so slow that it takes forever to cache your own file hash/table and will take hours to get any sources to start uploading from you.
Hell there are people still connected to DonkeyServer's 2, 1, 5, 3, 6 and 4. Razorback 3.0 and 3.1 is stable but allows only max 500 files. Also can't say much about performance or safety of these servers: UseNeXT, usenet but it has the highest number of user's connected to it. There are other servers that is sex related like: FreeOsex, FreeSexBay, ifreesex, sexytiv. They are to busy trying to promote and sell you something.
With all these news servers popping up how safe are they? and who is hosting it? is a big safety issue to me. While all these major servers BB/BD/DS dropping can ED2K efficiently pick up the user load with remaining servers? As we saw after BB/BD was removed DS couldn't pick up the load even when the server capacity was not full yet was resetting and getting unstable.
What is the future of ED2K? or do I need to go back to GNUtella/UseNET?
-
In your case, please go back to gnutella/usenet.
All the others can stay.
-
OK .........while you two are arguing.......from the number of views this subject has received it appears to be a topic of interest.
Surely someone has some info about what has happened with the Donkey servers and the safest alternatives if they're not to be an option in the future?

I'm sorry, I don't want to spam the forum, but it is really a pitty that KAD isn't working in amuled the way it should be.
I would abandon the servers as soon as I could exist without them. And I think that is the way for most of the user that could be KAD only.

Please explain. I'm using amuled ever since (never used amule) and thought that Kademlia is working?
-
There's somewhere a bug which will make Kademlia stop after some hours with amuled.

Isn't this problem only there in version 2.1.3 (latest stable), and supposedly isn't it solved in the CVS versions?
-
Nope, afaik this one is not solved.

hello to everyone
i hope someone would answer me as well as this question was already done, but i have some problem on my searching.. :o
i 've read on the forum that the 6 donkey were shut down by the autorithies.. ok that was the problem with my connection but now i've changed, my amule is downloading but on the searching no results :'(
what is happening?
have u got any idea for me?
thanks emetface
P.S. my server actually is saugstube
-
pm me what ur looking for, i'll see if my mule can find it..
other way i have no search problems with amule cvs.
-
Try searching with kad, it works beautifully for me, however searches may take some time to complete.
Regards.
-
i know that some time the mule can take some time to find the files but in this case is quite different cause for every file i 'm trying it gives me zero results, as well for things that i 've already found, just for trying and the answer was always the same zero :'(
no ideas?
thank u all for helping

Could this be solved in time for 2.2?
I remember seing the kad icon as ON, but for some time now I haven't been able to connect using amuled+AmuleGUI.
Info says
Kad: running
Status: Disconnected

Unfortunatly not. The CVS from 2.2 will still lost the KAD-connections after some time. :(
