low id again!!
« on: January 09, 2007, 04:47:33 PM »
Hi im so sorry to keep bugging everyone but my id is low again!? i haven't done anything different, and my firewall is still off on my router and my computer even though amule is saying it is a firewall problem! why is this proving so difficult to use? nearly 3 months i've been using it and only have 2 succsessfull downloads!
why would it be low id again? i did all the ports last time and it has been working fine for about a week or so, it was hi id download speed about 45-50 last night noe it is low id download speed 0.0!

It sounds to me like your ISP is blocking your use of aMule.

For what it's worth, I'm Low-ID all the time.  There's no solution for me because of the nature of the network I'm attached to.  But take note: this does not prevent me from getting downloads successfully!  People attach way too much significance to High-ID vs. Low-ID.  aMule is designed to work with either.  High-ID only means that you will be able to exchange data with more clients.  If you have adequate numbers of sources for your files when you're Low-ID, then being High-ID won't help much.

That's why I think your problem is more severe than simply getting Low-ID.  If it was just Low-ID, your downloads would still work but would perhaps take a bit longer to complete.  That's not what you're experiencing.  You're experiencing a near total failure to download.  That's why I guess it's your ISP.
