My aMule used to work just fine; it was downloading at about 50kb/s, if not more. Uploading was occurring as well.
About six weeks ago, however, downloading just stopped for no explicable reason, although uploading continues unabated of both completed and incomplete downloads. On very rare occasions, aMule will download a single file of the many I have waiting to download, at the rate of about 1 or 2kb/s; this despite my credits now being very high in view of the unabated uploading.
I have tried all the suggestions I read up about, changing upload & download speeds, slots, etc., but nothing seems to make a difference. My having changed all the settings in any way does not explain why I should have had to do that in the first place! My aMule used to work perfectly.
What could possibly have happened? I would appreciate any kind of elucidation and suggestions on solving this problem. I suspect I shall have to delete all the incomplete downloads, and start all over again, but am hesitant of doing that if it doesn't solve the download problem anyway.

Thanks for your help!

Maybe your ISP decided to do some throtteling.
Switch your Ports from the default values to something else, and check if obfuscation is active.
Deleting you temp files will NOT help in any case.

Thank you, Sturedman, for your reply.

If, as you say, it might be a case of throttling by the ISP, surely that would apply to all my other applications as well? I download a lot of torrents all the time; downloading torrents on other applications has not been affected at all.       

   Thanks for your help in advance; I look forward to your reply.

Maybe yes, maybe not. it all depends on the kid of traffic your ISP is viewing, maybe they do not see enough bittorrent traffic but see a lot of emule traffic, so they only shape emule traffic. Or maybe your bittorrent is using already obfuscation.

Regards.

    Thank you very much for the help, but can I do about   a) obfuscation;   and,  b) throttling by my ISP?   

    Thanks once again!

Is it possible that you did run out of disc space?

[KHBoylover]

   No, I have definitely not run out of disk space!!

I have the same problem, my aMule stop all active downloads connections after each ~20 minuts of work (download speed down to 0).  I`ve tried amule version 2.1.3 and  SVN from debian packages, with changing standarts port, downloads limits, connections limits itp., but without no success.
To solve a problem I want to debug aMule with enable verbose option in preferences, but I don`t know what message categories I should log...

Thanks for Yours help.

the same thing happened to me  but i am out of disk , i have no more space on the disk and all the downloads were stopped and the uploads are doing their job  ! at the status of the downloading file it says to me insufficier, so, i've checked the disk space and i have only 5mb free .
Check the disk status!!!

Free disk space isn`t the problem, I have enough available disk space to finish all my downloads. The problem is that my amule regularly  disconnect all active downloads connections, but not uploads (Connect to amule  server  stays established). This is my statistic plots of connections, take a look:

Saturation.

Saturation.

At the begin I also think that saturation of ISP network  is the reason, I  limit my upolads speed below 10KB\s, I also try limit max connection count, but without no success. Others P2P like torrent works fine on my ISP line, actualy I`ve 4Mb/0,5Mb (down/up) DSL line from my ISP,  maybe still something is wrong with my config  how do I should configure amule(down/up speeds connections limit etc.) to it work  fine on my line? any ideas?

This is part of my actual config:

Code: [Select]

MaxDownload=256
MaxUpload=10
SlotAllocation=2

UploadCapacity=64
