As far as I remember, yes. Stu reported it long ago, but fixing it is not trivial.

Well, the 24h reconnect common with DSL is handled more or less gracefully (probably with an hour of bad performance or so). Network outages of a few hours or so aren't. After that aMule usually sits dumb and disconnected, even if network is back again.
(At least this is how I remember it from my DSL times, may they rest in pieces.  :P)

But a GonoszTopi said, this is not trivial, and thus not in 2.3 (unless somebody comes up with a great patch...).

Connection check things cannot work because we can't ping for user right issues, right?

Something must be possible...

Maybe we can do a simple check when upload falls down to 0?

Can't we ping with a syscall like system(ping) ?

If it's not possible we could implement a own ping program for icmp!

Whom to ping? Another user? He might have gone offline since we last saw him... Or a fixed destination (like www.amule.org)? See Ping flood

A reasonable solution should
  • decide when it should check for network connectivity
  • properly select a more-or-less random (but still reliable) destination for the test

That's why I said it was not trivial.

Well, it could be useful looking at StulleMule sources, which has "connection check" ;)
