low id stuff
« Reply #15 on: April 01, 2005, 03:41:20 PM »
back to the low id issue...

after deleting (actually, moving) ".aMule/" i got high ids on razorback etc. So this is too an issue with (broken?) data/files.

Q: has anybody a hint which file to delete w/o again losing credits or even .part files?

nope.

ok, i backuped .aMule/ and started with a virgin setup. (at least, i thought)
after copying in slowly files from the backuped .aMule/ it appeared to be ipfilter.dat.

Q: if i download a new ipfilter.dat (in Preferences>Security) is this expected to be merged with or to replace the old file?
i would have expected that it replaces the old file, but the old ipfilter.dat was ~6MB and after deleting and downloading it was only 3.2MB. so either it is merged, which would be idiotic, or replacing does not work, which should be fixed. (maybe the file is not truncated?)

also, after moving .aMule/ back (and deleting ipfilter.dat) i got a lot of warnings after starting amule again:
2005-04-01 16:58:18: Warning: /Users/kio/.aMule/Temp/022.part.met might be corrupted (-598)
i hope these are warnings only. i really thought to be on the safe side after duplicating the whole folder.

Merged. And I don't like you calling me idiotic. I was the one making it merge.

hey, i didn't call you idiotic, only the idea to merge.  ;)

how do you get rid of bogus entries if you merge them? (e.g. entries which include major servers 8))
aren't fresh ipfilter.dat's expected to be 'complete' ?

that's why i think merging is ... suboptimal.

maybe some kind of sanity check before replacing a working list with a maliciously broken one, but not merging. imho.

Merging is there or you wouldn't be able to have personal ipfilter.dat entries. They would be removed on update.

If you want to remove entiries, do it by hand or remove ipfilter.dat before update.

ok, somehow i expected this...

so, to summarize, you merge at a point where the uninformed user (100% minus the devs) can be expected to expect 'replace', because a user could have added some lines to this file manually. and as a result users now must (!) identify and remove bogus entries manually from a multi-MB file. each time after downloading a fresh one. this is not very user friendly. but no complaining.   :rolleyes:

i suggest to add a radio button set "O merge" - "O replace" in IP-Filtering. Preset to "replace". This could have saved me the low id trouble and improved my "download experience". (peers were rejected too, of course.)

agreed?

I already decided to do that, but I can't until 2.0.0 is out.

no problem for me to wait, i have fixed my ipfilter.dat, at least for now.
it's good there is a design freeze so short before the 2.0.0 release. :D

there is no design freeze, just CVS freeze. I bet people is keeping code with themselves and not commiting, like me... I have some cool features already done ;)
