In the last week I could recognize a very strange reaction of aMule when running over a longer time:
Regularly after ca. 250MB uploaded and between 150-200MB downloaded the uploaded speed fell as continuously to zero as the download-speed fell.
The connections where also affected... After a half-day running the uplpad speed fell from 10kbps to 3 or less (and didn't get higher). The download speed is anyway irregular but after half-a-day running it was steadily around 2 kbps (and both ul and dl where falling even more)
(max are 261dl/10ul)
the connections fell from a max of 150 to 20 or less

This problem repeated itself always when running aMule longer than ca. 8 hours

cheers

rc3 is _very_ buggy IMO. it is *SDTRONGLY* recommended to upgrade to rc5 please
Once on rc5, check if the same problem presists (here, aMule has been running for half a week and no such prblerm on rc5, ands thre's ppl runing it for two weeks, hehe).
Waiting for your report
Greetings!

at a first try with the cvs version from 28.7.04 similar symptoms appeared... after a runtime around 6-8 hours the upload moves itself around a value of 3.3 (max is 10). This is already strange as it should be possible to use a may upload steadily.
The download at this moment was 0 (Ok this can happen, but the stats over the last 3,5 hours showed, that in this time, the download-rate was never higher than 5-7 (max 261) (although with a longer runtime, downloadrates should be higher)
connections were around normal value 20-30 (max 175)


so viewing all over, this amule behaves very strange as a longer runtime should mean higher rates also, and I think it is strange that the average uploadrate and downloadrate are falling steadily...

This time I will let it run more that 24 hours and look what happens...
I will keep you updated...

I can definitely confirm that this problem still persists.

I had running aMule now for around15 hours and the problem is still appearing:

actual upload-rate: 0.6
actual download-rate: 0.0
# connections: 18
uploaded: ~250 MB
downloaded: ~65 MB

average upload-rate: 3.6            (max. 10)
average download-rate: 1.2      (max 256)
average connections: 22           (max 175)

max connections: 175
connections per file 80

I would have some screenshots to show the stats of the last 3.5 hours (but actually they're too big, as soon as I have them on a few kb I will post them)

Any explanation?

attachment screenschot 1: after 5-6 hours (at this point the upload began to collaps the same as the connections)
attachment screenshot 2: after 15 hours

cheers

(sorry, couldn't put both screenshots in one post)

sorry for egoposting...

I found the solution by just trying to delete the actual .eMule file...

Actually this succeeded... although I lost my credits, the system works now as it should... Steadily the highest possible upload, the download behaves also normal...

Thanks for any intention to help but I think that is the problem solution... (but don't ask me for the technical reason)

Cheers

Ye, it sometimes happens that ~/.eMule gives problems :-/
"although I lost my credits" -> this is incorrect. your credits and userhash etc are stored in ~/.aMule directory, so don't be afraid of your credits, removing ~/.eMule doesn't delete them.
Greetings and thanx for the tip! :-)
