Dear readers,

When a file is complete, the transfered file size if often 3x or more the completed file size. Is that normal?

Hugs,

hi,

no its not.. tell us more about your system.. make a screenshot but remove the file names

I am using Fedora Core 2 and have 384MB ram and using a shared 4Mbit connection with 140 other people.

In the prefs. have I only changed the bandwidth and download path from the default settings.

At the moment am I sharing 1kb/s in upload to see if that helps, but I don't think it does.

I have done that now

If you look at file 2,8,12 they will be far over 3x the file size. Could it have something to do with the network I am on? E.g. the firewall that drops some of my packes?

ah sorry.. didn't look at the real file size  :baby:

could it be u have many mldonkeys around in your queue ?

[Janni]

What can mldonkey users do?

Can I limit it?

Hugs,
Janni

there are some fake mldonkey clients around which send u corrupted parts..

copy and save it as i.e mld ->

#!/bin/bash

# Create special MLDONKEY chain
iptables -t filter -N MLDONKEY
iptables -t filter -F MLDONKEY

# Create the logdrop chain to log & drop a packet
iptables -t filter -N MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -F MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -A MLDONKEY_LOGDROP -j LOG --log-prefix "MLDONKEY"
iptables -t filter -A MLDONKEY_LOGDROP -j DROP

# Jump to the special MLD chain at the end of the INPUT chain (commented out)
#iptables -t nat -A INPUT -j MLDONKEY

# List of ip ranges to ban
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 38.113.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 38.115.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 38.117.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 38.118.0.0/15 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 65.19.175.0/24 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 66.54.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 66.117.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP
iptables -t filter -I INPUT 1 -s 207.234.0.0/16 -j MLDONKEY_LOGDROP

chmod the mld file to 755 and do as root:

./mld

will save u from the faked mldonkey clients

WOW! Thanks!,

I have started in right away

I once read something about super compressed packets. Have that something to do with this?

Lots of love,
Janni
