whats your connection settings for max-conn and hard-limt?
are you downloading popular stuff or rare stuff?
and maybe also read here: http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/AMule_is_slow
No, they are not stopped. On the web interface, all the files show the '?' icon ("waiting") in front of the per-file control buttons. It is simply not finding sources to download from. As I mentioned briefly, it seems strange - when I initially connect, I've watched the transfer screen. Several files find sources available - maybe 25 each, mostly less, a few more - but most stay at zero sources available, and even the ones it finds sources for, they all gradually disappear over the next few minutes. So, at login, one particular shows 30 potential sources for download. Then, it quickly drops to 25. Then 23. 18... all the way to zero. Right now I have about 80 files in the download queue. Most of them show zero sources. A few show 1 or 2. One shows 4, one 11. These are mostly popular files, with hundreds of available copies, quick downloads in emule.
There is plenty of diskspace - 30G+ free in the partition with the temp/incoming directories. I tried switching filesystems and a fresh set of configs, which also didn't help.
Hard limit is 300, max conn 800 (was 500 until yesterday, when i upped it to see if that might do something, but I pretty much knew it wouldn't help.)

You configured different ports from aMule and eMule. Could the aMule ports be filtered by your ISP? I suppose that would prevent High-ID.
Is your eMule running while you are trying aMule? It's a longshot, but could eMule be saturating your line and preventing aMule from getting a byte in edgewise?
What's the topology of your network?
No, the amule ports aren't filtered at the ISP - I have non-stardard ports configured for amule, although I have tried it with the standard ones also.
Emule is not running at the same time as amule, and would not be generating enough traffic in my case to saturate the line regardless. I'm only still running emule at all because I can't get amule to work correctly.
Both machines (the xp/emule and linux/amule) are connected to a Linksys router, which is connected to the outside.
I have in the past had the port forwarding incorrectly configured, which caused LowID. That is not the case here.
Thanks for the help. Any other suggestions? A way to get debugging messages maybe? The problem is, it seems to be nominally "working fine," except for the minor problem that it never downloads anything
