Title: aMule banning all the downloaders
Post by: dekar on July 08, 2010, 08:30:00 PM
I am running Debian Lenny and the aMule that came with it. After having nodes download from me for about a day aMule's ban-count shows some bans and no one downloads anything anymore. After a restart the ban-count resets to zero and people start downloading again really fast. Can I somehow stop aMule from banning? I don't really care whether they're leechermods or whatever. The files I share could probably be downloaded using http somewhere else for free anyway. So any way to stop banning?

PS:
What weird font is this forum using? For me all the numbers are somehow lower and smaller than normal! 1234567890 and the zero totally looks like an small O. (zero = 0, small O = 0)

For you, but not for me. By the way, the default font name is Verdana (as far as I know), whatever font it means to your browser.

Please don't expect us remember which aMule version each release of each distro had.

Besides editing the source and recompiling, no.

From this site's CSS:
Code: [Select]
body, td, th, tr {
color: #ffffff;
font-size: small;
font-family: "Georgia", serif;
}

The tab-buttons are:
Code: [Select]
.maintab_back, .maintab_active_back {
color: #ffffff [overridden];
font-size: 9px;
font-family: "tahoma", sans-serif;
}

The files I share could probably be downloaded using http somewhere else for free anyway.
Why would you want to share those anyway?

Cause I have traffic I don't use? And cause people want to download them as it seems? You think p2p is only for piracy?

The font I see in Chrome:

The version Debian ships: 2.2.1

Two banned downloaders already - I think they're chinese - had two chinese downloading before using something called easymule I think - now they're gone!

If you have bandwidth to donate to the ed2k  network, that's very nice of you  :-* .

Well, if the file was originally published together with an ed2k:// link it would make sense. But I have yet to find any such content. However I have seen some torrent:// links on the web for example on the OpenSUSE pages. The point is, if a file is legally available on the web, why bother looking for it elsewhere? The original http:// link is more trustworthy, more up to date and easier to download.

Cause I can? It's for example a CC licensed movie which also has an official torrent. Why not mirror it on emule? People do download it :D

So, do you have connection problems? The reason I ask is, most of the time there are >500 people waiting in my queue. Otherwise it would seem that not many people want your files. And when there is noone that wants something of you, uppload speed will decline... One reason that can get a client banned is when it re-asks too many times per hour. It's just part of the ed2k-netiquette, obey or get banned. Programming is harsh like that :D

I only have 16 files in share. But have a look yourself - I think it's fine and my upload speed is usually near the maximum of 110kbyte/s.

The version Debian ships: 2.2.1
That's totally outdated. Yell at Debian to update or use a different distro.

So? What's your problem? Debian never does feature updates - all they do is backport security fixes. Why would I need a newer version?

Bugfixes?!?!

There are a lot of (also very important) updates since 2.2.1...

Like which? I am pretty sure Debian backported all the security related issues ;)

My problem is you using an outdated version and then bothering us with problems about it.

And to clarify: Security bugfixes won't help you when you're using a two year old implementation of the network code.

The reason people are getting banned from your client is that your client doesn't support a lot of extensions implemented since then.

Updated to the latest version since you suggested it were protocol incompatibilities - 2 banned already, I will keep an eye on it and report back but so far it doesn't look any better. Can you add an option to the next version that disables banning?

Did you compile it yourself? If you did, it would be interested to compile it with debug enabled and see WHY they are getting banned.

Yeah I did compile it myself, but disabled debug since I thought using the new one should fix it. I enabled about everything else though XD

But it didn't.

If you tell me where and what to look for I will recompile it later.

Please edit your post...nobody wants know what you are downloading ;)

I am uploading those - never downloaded them from ed2k. And as I stated before, I am only uploading files you can legally direct download anyway. Pioneer One for example is the pilot of a CC licensed series which is paid by donations. That Zelda movie is a free fan made movie which was featured at dailymotion - pretty lame though XD

Pioneer One ain't perfect, especially the camera ain't steady enough - But for an amateur movie it is pretty well done.
