Max 200 files or so??
« on: April 05, 2005, 11:35:23 AM »
Why does the ED2K network or at least some of the servers on it have a problem with a client sharing more than 200 files?  I was connected to Razorback 2 and it told me I am sharing too many files: 293 and that I need to upgrade my client.

I've heard that you're not supposed to share more than 200 files or so on the ED2K network on a per-client basis but that just doesn't make sense.  Why should it care?  I would think that sharing more files would be good.

Will the Kademlia network have the same problem?

This is a problem with older versions of aMule. I'd suggest that you follow the advice given.

I didn't realize this was a problem in terms of amule versions.  I'm using aMule 2.0.0rc8 though, so I don't think that my version is too old.

This doesn't address why there is a limit of 200 files per client.  Why does a server have a problem with any client wanting to publish more than 200 files?

I'm on R2, too. But I never saw such a messge. Not in rc7, not in rc8 and for sure never in CVS. I share 257 files atm, and the only thing that sucks, is that all 257 have to be flushed at shutdown, even if 90% if them are paused, and shouldn't be changed.

Well, I'm definitely running 2.0.0rc8.  It's the only version I've ever run; I've not been using aMule or the ED2K network for very long.

Code: [Select]
04/06/05 01:53:02: Found 196 known shared files, 12 unknown
04/06/05 01:53:04: Error: Razorback 2 (195.245.244.243:4661) -  : Too many files republished by your client software. Please upgrade it.
04/06/05 01:53:12: Lost connection to Razorback 2(195.245.244.243:4661)
So, I'm confused.  There used to be a mention on the wiki about only sharing 200 files but I can't find that any more.

How many files of them are finished? I have only 13 finished files, Maybe that is the problem.

You have to update the version if you want that to dissapear. There is a limit of files shared per time frame and version rc8 doesn't handle it well.

Queued files are only shared if you have at least one part. If you want to know how many files you share, check the SharedFiles window. ;)
