I used to be on a different ISP, and when I used that ISP aMule worked great, no problems there. Last year I changed ISP, to a more restrictive provider (college network). If I understand correctly, they use NAT on a large scale, which means I cannot change the port forwarding settings in their routers or anything. When I first moved here, I could only connect in passive mode (which makes sense, because of the reason above), but I could download and upload to other users (well if I understand correctly, not all users, only the active ones).
The point is, although it had long waiting times, the thing worked. Now after I reinstalled my OS (which is Ubuntu Linux) and not keeping the settings of aMule when it worked (port settings, etc) I can't seem to do what I could do before anymore: I can connect to a server, I can do searches, I can get into peoples queues, but I can't seem to do any file transfer to other users: when an upload or a download is ready to start and tries to start, the speed stays at 0 kb/s and after a while it times out. So, I kinda am okay with not having an active connection (there isn't much I can do about that, right?), but it seems like having a passive connection doesn't work either. I have read the wiki, but there isn't really an explanation for what I'm having here. Maybe some of you can help me out?
Thanks in advance!!
