huh?!?!?! you hash is based on your IP!?  8o 8o 8o 8o

this is like totaly wrong here.... your hash is strored in your .aMule dir and you are known to other cleints by that hash, so when you get credits you get credits for taht hash.
so you never loos anything when you cahnge your IP!!!
2nd. also you will not loos your queue rank, in other clients lists. since the Hash does not cahnge, you are still known at position 200 or whereever in the other clients list, even when your IP cahnges!!!

and btw

steerpike upgrade your aMUle to say rc5 and be amazed how good we have improved amule since about half a year
1.2.6 is not supported anymoe by some eMule cleints, it has a couple network bugs and also no secure Ident for example, this makes it SLOW....
upgrad to rc5 wait a couple day and you will be happy with your mule

thanks stefanero.

i was wondering how any credits-based p2p thing worked at all if the hash was based on ip, since then no one would be able to use dynamic-ip isps, and i think they are almost all like that.  ok, so i guess i can kill the crontab.

thanks,

Just thought i'd put it in writing, in case anyone else has this problem.  The issue was that I was getting absurdly low d/l rates with high u/l rates and nothing seemed to be the problem (bandwidth not maxed out, all arrows green, etc)

the problem was that i WAS behind a firewall, but amule 1.2.6 didn't recognise it (while 2.0.0rc5 did).  The reason 1.2.6 didn't recognise it was that my adsl modem was acting like a router with an interanl firewall and blocking all traffic.  it provided an ip address to my nic through dhcp, and THIS connection wasn't firewalled, even though the outside connection was, tricking 1.2.6.  anyway, the wonderful developers seem to already have caught this bug, since rc5 version doesn't do this (thanks amule developers!)  (for those of you at the edge of your seats, wondering how this story ends, i changed the router to bridge mode and starting running pppoe so my linux box can do its own firewalling.)  

thanks to the devs for a great job with amule!  it's great!   :baby:
and thanks to all the people who helped me out in the forums.
