KAD connection
« on: January 23, 2006, 11:59:15 AM »
I moved from edonkey to amule hoping to get better connections. edonkey gave up the wil to live last week with no download speeds at all. Seem to be having a similar problem with amule.people can download from me but can not get anything in return. I have followed all the advice about set up and TCp etc. I am running 10.4.4 and I am sure this all started when I upgraded. I have tried with firewall on and off.

Any help greatly appreciated. ;( ;(

Do you get High ID?
Anyway, try this: http://www.amule.org/testport.php in order to know if it's a port/firewall problem.

I have tried this and get

Error: TCP port 4662 is unavailable. Make sure your firewall or router is allowing/forwarding this TCP service port and your ED2K client is running (i.e. aMule, eMule).
Detailed Error Message
TCP Error 110 Connection refused

Explanation
The connection timed out, meaning the port is being blocked or incorrectly forwarded by a firewall or your computer is turned off :)

I have MAC OS 10.4 with firewall on (have tried with off). I cam connected through a server and had no problems until two weeks ago (along with lots of other people on these forums). I can not ask the network admin if something has changed (i guess it might have). But my home connection acts the same way now. Are ISP blovking p2p connections?

I do not know how to forward ports on os 10. Can anyone help?

I'm a little confused about the chronology of events here... ;)

Is the following correct?
1) you had been using the official edonkey client for a while and then all of a sudden it stopped downloading.
2) Then you switched to aMule (2.1.0?), configured everything properly but it didn't download anything either.

If this is what happened then it really looks like something in your network changed. You could try switching to other ports and see whether that makes a difference.

You don't forward ports in OS X, you forward ports in your router. In your case, it seems like you are in some office network or so where you don't have access to the machine that routes the packages within the network, so you can't really forward the necessary ports to your machine if they are not already forwarded.

Current aMule CVS builds for OS X can be found here.
