Dumb Questions
« on: April 17, 2004, 02:34:23 PM »
Sorry for the simple questions, but here goes anyway.

What is A4AF?  I take it it is a type of source.  Why can't we have a priority list for files that A4AF's go to, so if I have 5 files I want downloaded and I'd like them in a particular order I can put the first at the top of the priority and then second second etc.?

What is the effect of connecting to different servers?  Does it make any difference if you are a lowid?

Thanks very much.

hey

low ID is not very helpfull... since you can not make high speed connecitons over UDP with the people you are sharing..... so try to configure your firewall the right way to get a high ID ;)

A4AF is a method to swaap sources to files... but I don't thinks it is truely implemented at the moment... and sometimes amule crashed while using it... so don't be surprised if it does...

O.k. I'd guessed roughly what A4AF did but still don't know what it is supposed to stand for/mean.

I don't have control over the filewall/NAT box so can't modify my lowid status, hence the interest in what the effect of connecting to different servers is.
