Die
Erläuterungen zu der Anzeige, den
Werten, den Einstellungen sollen dazu dienen,Emuleplus optimal einzustellen.
Das
Programm ist schon sehr gut
geworden, aber im Gegensatz zu Kazaalite
kann man auch einiges falsch einstellen,
aber auch wesentlich mehr rausholen!
Hab immer "zuviele
Verbindungen"
(Bild1 "A") im Blick, sonst gibts
Ärger mit Emule....
und an Bild2 "A" dreh ich manchmal,
um anzutreiben oder abzubremsen. ansonsten bei den optimalenEinstellungen belassen.
Damit es nicht
vor Erschöpfung zusammenbricht, hier ein paar
Einstellungen:
Bild1
A ideal=0, nach progr.start bzw.
zwangstrennung hoher wert der auf "0" sinkt, nur kurzfristige überschreitungen
sind o.k., sonst schlechte verbindungen!!!
B (netto) gesamtwert aller
brauchbaren verbindungen. für mein system (t-dsl, exklusiv-pc athlon xp1900+ 512
mb ram) sind max. ca. 3.200 verbg. dauerhaft möglich,
die sanfte Einstellung (surffreundlich) liegt eher bei
2.000.
sonst verbingungsverluste/niedrige
dl-raten, da pc/netzwerk die vielen warteschlangen nicht bedienen kann.
C (brutto) infowert i.allg. 10% über
"B"
d info: rechts sollte mehr sein als
links (1:x, je höher, je besser ;-)
e info
f info: sollten im mittelfeld der
max.verbindungen liegen (graf. anzeige hierzu "j")
g graf. anzeige dl: zwangstrennung (da
ich viele verbindg. hatte gings gut weiter)
h graf. anzeige ul: hatte tag/nacht-schaltung,
lohnt sich nicht ul zu erhöhen (von 10 auf 12), bremste dl aus!!
i graf. anzeige ul: ideale
einstellung - eine möglichst gerade linie, wenn der ul probleme hat geht der dl
runter!!!
j graf. anzeige verbindg.: irgendwo
in der mitte (richtig einstellen statistikgraf.), zickzack ist normal
k sollte nicht so knapp an
einstellung max. verbindung rankommen
Bild2
A faktor: max. quellen ist
notwendig, sonst bricht eventl. dein rechner/leitung zusammen = downloads x
quellen = bild1 "C"
nicht zu niedrig
(>200), sonst dauert die
suche länger - nicht zu hoch(>500), sonst bricht der ul/dl-transfer zusammen (also
eher niedriger als zu hoch!!)
b bestimmt mit
die agressivität der suche
nach quellen (max.Quellen - 1/3 = niedrige, max.Quellen - 2/3 =
hohe)
c speichert/puffert die
zwischenergebnisse/adressen
Bild3
A deine max. bandbreite (isdn 8/8,
tdsl 96/16)
B max. dl (0 bzw. 96), max. ul. (soviel
du anderen "gönnen" möchtest, bei isdn max. 6, bei tdsl. max. 12, sonst wird der
dl ausgebremst!
ul wird auch von dir verbraucht, da
jede menge suchanfragen rausgeschickt werden und
deine warteschlangen auch immer
wieder nachgefragt werden müssen.
min. ul bei isdn 3, bei tdsl 10 - da
emule/edonkey sonst automatisch deinen max. dl verringert!!
C 3.000
(durch das Creditsystem kann man u.U. schnell klettern in den
Positionen - warten wird hier belohnt!)
Dleitungsabhängig, siehe statistik
bild1 "k" (tdsl ca. 800, isdn ca. 400 - nur bei xp/win2000, win98/me die hälfte
hiervon!!)
E wesentliche einstellung - der "pulsschlag"
- nicht so lahm, aber auch nicht so hoch (wenns die datei so wenig gibt, ist das
manchmal schicksal ;-)
tsdsl ca. 100
(bisher, version 1h verträgt eher weniger!?), isdn ca. 20
F sinnvoll, da wir fast alle
zwangstrennung (beiderseitig) haben. zu langes anstehn lohnt oft nicht
(nur bei sehr seltenen quellen)!
Verbindungsprobleme (zuviele
Verbindungen, zu hohes Hardlimit/Datei...). A zeigt deutlich, das der upload
einbricht, der download nicht vorankommt und zuwenig "vernünftige" Verbindungen
("eine Verstopfung") existieren, daraufhin versucht Emule neue zu finden. B
zeigt eine sofortige Verbesserung (hier Einstellung für hardlimit je datei
verringert). C: die "Verstopfung" wird aufgelöst und es pegelt sich wieder (auf
höherem Level) normal ein.
Fortsetzung: die nächsten 8 Stunden
Fortsetzung: und nochmal 8 weitere Stunden:
Auch das gibts es: verantwortlich nur eine Datei, gut verteilt, bei der nur ein
winziges Stückchen fehlt, auf das viele fast komplette Downloads warten!
Nick
You can set a nickname that users you upload to will recognize you by. Please
change the default nickname for a proper one. A nickname can be changed at
anytime without influence to your credits.
Language
You can choose desirable interface language. Translation is always a 'work in
progress', so if you want to help then send us an email to
eMulePlus@yahoo.com.sg
3D Depth
There are different ways of drawing the download/upload progress bars. From a
rich 3D design to an aqua style while going through the standard flat style. You
can choose between any of them.
Beep on errors
When an error such as insufficient disk space occurs the system beep sounds to
alert you of the problem.
Show Splashscreen
Enable/disable the splash screen each time you start eMule Plus.
Allow multiple instances of eMule
With this option enabled you will have a choice to run multiple eMules on the
same computer. Every instance has to be installed in a separate folder and be
configured to use different TCP and UPD ports. Be aware that you cannot use the
same temporary directory by multiple instances at the same time.
Enable Online-Signature
You will need this option enabled to publish your data in a signature. The file
onlinesig.dat will be created and updated in the eMule Plus main directory. The
data shown includes an online status, transfer speeds (download & upload), the
server you are connected to and total number of users in queue. One of the
programs (not the only one) that supports eMule Plus can be downloaded from
http://onlinesig.sourceforge.net/
Doubleclick on client display details
Instead of initiating a chat session while double clicking a client you can open
his details.
Autotake ED2K links only during runtime
With this option set ED2K links are only taken while eMule Plus is running.
After application closure, the links are returned to the state before starting
eMule Plus. This is useful to run multiple clients on the same computer.
Watch clipboard for ED2K file links
With this option set eMule Plus will monitor the Windows clipboard for ED2K
links and add them as they appear.
Update fake list at Startup
Allows you to download an updated fake list every time you restart the client.
Update
Force the download of an updated fake list.
from this URL (ed2kfakes.txt)
The URL where the fakelist version information is located. This file contains
the version number and an ed2k-filelink of fakes.rar which is added to
your downloads and unpacked after completion automatically.
Tooltip Delay Time (seconds)
Tooltips with file/source/server information are show when the mouse cursor
hovers over an object. This setting allows you to set time duration the cursor
needs to hover before a tooltip appears. Set to zero to disable tooltips.
ED2K Links
Set your eMule Plus as the default application for ed2k:// links. This will take
control from other applications such as eDonkey 2000 or OverNet. If you don't
want this to happen then manually add links in the search window (Direct
Download).
Edit WebServices
Opens webservices.dat file to edit WebServices.
Main Process Priority
Sets the process priority used by eMule Plus. A high priority setting will give
a more responsive client but will use more CPU. Note: this high priority has
less effect than OS process priority configured in Task Manager.
Incoming Files
This is a directory where all completed files are stored. This directory is
shared automatically and cannot be unshared (please don't add it to your shared
directories).
Temporary Files
This is a directory where all incomplete files are stored. The incomplete files
are shared once a full chunk is complete. Please don't add this directory to the
shared ones.
Note: changed settings will be used only after application restart.
Video player for preview
Full path to a video preview application. You can use your preferred
application, but we recommend using VideoLAN client to get the best results. If
nothing is specified, the default media player associated with corresponding
file type will be used.
Create backup to preview
Downloading files can't be previewed by the most players. The backup file is
intended to make a new file fixed to be previewed by this type of players every
time you use the feature. You don't need this feature if you use VideoLAN
client.
Player supports small blocks
With this option you will have preview enabled even for files with only small
blocks completed (players like VideoLAN Client 0.6.2, aka VLC supports this).
Shared directories
You can select multiple directories to share on eMule Plus. Press the CTRL key
while selecting a new one to add all subdirectories as well.
Additional Temporary directories
More temporary directories could be added to span temporary space over different
disks.
Note: changed settings will be used only after application restart.
See my share
Allows users to see your shared files list. Everybody means everyone can
see. Friends means only users you have added as Friends. No one
means nobody will see your shared files list. Allowing users to see your shared
files list can be considered somewhat a 'security hole', and it’s been used for
taking legal actions against p2p users in one country so far.
Hashing Priority
Every time a new file is shared eMule Plus hashes it and then publishes it to a
server. This hashing can hog your computer for a while. By reducing the thread
priority you can get a more responsive computer.
Download Auto Priority
When a download priority is selected as Auto these limits will be used to
determine the priority automatically. After a number of the useful sources
reaches the Priority High Limit, auto priority is changed to normal. After a
number of the useful sources reaches the Priority Low Limit, auto priority is
changed to low.
Enable (Download Auto Priority)
You can disable Download Auto Priority management by clicking this option.
File Buffer Size
Set how much data must be received before a flush to disk is made. A high
setting might extend your hard disk life but also increase the risk of data loss
in case of a crash.
Copy Buffer Size
Set a buffer used to transfer data while completing a file to another partition
or a disk. The default setting is recommended for the most users. Take in
account that increasing or decreasing of this value can have the file completion
take longer than expected.
Upload Autopriority
Priority for Uploads will be automatically set when this option is used. For
file you're downloading, with less than 25 sources a file will be prioritized as
Release, with 25..199 sources will be prioritized as High, with 200..399 sources
will be prioritized as Normal and with more as Low. For complete files, the
calculation will be done against the full sources value for a file. With less
than 5 full sources the file will be set as Release, with 5..24 as High, with
25..199 as Normal and with more as Low.
Start downloads paused
All newly added downloads will be started as paused.
Start downloading paused file on complete
Paused files will be started automatically after a download completes.
Resume from other category when all done
When all files were resumed from the current category where a file completes,
files from other categories will be resumed. If you want to avoid this disable
this option.
Auto-clear completed files
With this option enabled right after a file is completed it will be removed from
the download list.
Adjust 'max sources per file' from (Auto 'max sources per file')
The starting value for maximum sources allowed for each file, used on client
start or server connection.
to (Auto 'max sources per file')
The maximum value of maximum sources a file can reach (top limit).
Limit overall sources to (Auto 'max sources per file')
The maximum global value of maximum sources allowed (for all files). After
reaching this no more sources will be added to any file.
Limit sources exchange to (Auto 'max sources per file')
When Auto 'max sources per file' is used you can set the maximum value after
which no more source requests will be sent.
Enabled (Auto 'max sources per file')
Enable the feature.
Disable sources exchange
Enabling of this option disables sending source exchange requests by your
clients to remove users. Sources exchange brings more sources for your files,
but also increases traffic overhead. Leave this option alone if eMule Plus is
working properly.
Disable for files with more than
After a file reaches the number of sources entered in the input box, sources
exchange won't be made anymore. Leave this option alone if eMule Plus is working
properly. This feature is available only if Auto 'max sources per file' is
disabled.
Max Sources Per File
Specifies the maximum number of sources allowed for a file. If this limit is
reached, eMule Plus stops accepting sources for this file. Only enabled if Auto
'max sources per file' feature is disabled.
Drop sources with highest queue ranking
If the amount of found sources for a file reaches near the maximum sources per
file then eMule Plus is slowly dropping the currently unneeded sources to
replace them with better ones. The sources to be dropped are selected by status
in the following order: LowID to LowID, No Needed Parts, Queue Full (after the
second request for ranking).
With this feature enabled eMule Plus will additionally drop the source having
the worst queue ranking if it is greater than 1000.
Update Delay (Graphs)
A time interval in seconds used to update the graphs for statistics display.
Disable this by dragging the bar all the way to the left to save CPU resources.
Time for average graph (Graphs)
The time in minutes used to update the average graphs for statistics display.
Active connections scale (Graphs)
The maximum value of the y-axis for the connections scale graph.
General connections scale ratio (Graph)
The ratio modifier for the general connections as this number is always bigger
in comparison with the average value.
Update Delay (Statistic Tree)
A time interval to update values of the statistics tree.
Colors
You can use your preferable colors for the graphs shown in the statistics
window.
Write logs to disk emule.log file will be created in the main directory with all lines from
the log added when this option is enabled. debug.log file correspondingly
will contain debug log lines (if debug log is enabled). Beware that these files
will grow in size.
Enable Debug Log
A more detailed level of logging can be achieved by enabling this option. The
log will be placed on a separate tab in the server window. This feature is
intended mainly for debugging or one-time curiosity.
Enable Upload Sessions Log
With this option enabled a detailed log is stored with a record of every upload
session you made. Format is CSV and is explained in Tips section of this FAQ.
Enable debug log of auto 'max sources per file'
Register the actions made by the feature Auto 'max sources per file' in the
Debug log (should be also enabled).
Enable Client transfer debug log
Enables debug log messages related to client transfer activities. Debug log
should be enabled.
Do not log countermeasures (if enabled)
Disable all kind of reports for leecher MODs detection/messaging. Debug log
should be enabled.
Start Minimized
When selected eMule Plus starts minimized, and when combined with Minimize to
tray icon it goes directly to the system tray.
Minimize to trayicon
When selected eMule Plus goes to the system tray when minimized.
Minimize to Tray on Close
When selected eMule goes to the system tray on window closure.
You will need to close eMule Plus from the system tray popup menu.
Prompt on exit
Whenever you close eMule Plus a dialog box requesting confirmation will be shown
as a warning.
Prompt on disconnect
Whenever a manual disconnect is issued you will be warned and you will have the
option to cancel this action.
Prompt on friend deletion
By disabling this option no warning will be given when you delete a friend from
your friends list by pressing Del key.
Bring to front on link click
Whenever a download is added the eMule Plus window is shown on the screen.
Show datarates on title
Upload/Download datarates without overhead values are shown on the application
title when this option is selected.
Show Speed-meter on toolbar
When selected a speed-meter is shown in the toolbar that shows the current
download and upload speed.
Font for IRC/Chat/Log
You can set a font and a size used for IRC/Chat/Log texts.
Window (Lists)
Show file status icons
Enables file status icons in the filename column of the download list.
Show filetype icons on file lists
Enables display of file type icons in the filename column of the lists.
Show rating icons
Enables display of the icons representing file rating/comments in the filename
column of the download and shared files lists.

You can toggle between showing the string 'asked for another file' or the actual
name of the other file requested from the source.
Show A4AF sources count on Sources column
Enables an additional value shown in the Sources column counting the number of
A4AF sources available for that file.
Show average datarate and smoothed remaining time
When selected an average datarate (download speed) and a smoothed remaining time
are added to the corresponding columns. These values appear in brackets. For
complete files the average speed will remain showing the overall value of the
current session.
Show transferred data on Complete column
Displays transferred bytes by each source in the Completed column instead of the
Transferred column.
Show downloaded percentage on progress bar
When you set this option the percentage of completed file data is shown over a
file progress bar.
Round file and transfer sizes
When enabled all file sizes and transferred values are rounded (201.20Mb ->
201.2Mb).
Show Upload Progress on remote users
Enables display of the remote users progress bars which represent file chunks
statuses of the remote users. This is a useful feature for releasers to know the
progress of the distribution.
Always show sources having status 'On Queue' (Smart Filter)
When Smart Filter for the download list is enabled, sources with 'On Queue'
status will not be filtered.
Hide sources with QR higher than (Smart Filter)
When Smart Filter for the download list is enabled, sources with QR higher than
the specified value will be hidden.
Fake list download color (FakeCheck)
Sets a color to be used in the download list for Fakes.rar download (this
feature now uses ed2k network to distribute the files as the bandwidth usage was
excessive for the database provider).
Profile
A connection profile with all recommended settings for new users can be selected
here. Most common Internet connection configurations are shown there. When a
profile different from Custom is selected, the recommended settings can't be
changed.
Clientport
eMule Plus uses 4662 as default port for data downloading from other clients.
This port has to be accessed from outside, otherwise you will have lowID
(firewalls and routers have to be properly configured). Some ISP throttle the
speed on the default port, so it's better to change the default port value in
this case.
Note: changed value will be used only after application restart.
Clientport UDP
This port handles eMule's extended protocol like Client to Client Source
Exchange and source asking on compatible eMule clients. Using inter client UDP
reduces the connection overhead and also lessens load on servers. If the UDP
fails then eMule Plus will drop back to TCP.
Note: changed value will be used only after application restart.
Clientport Disable
With this option you can disable the UDP port. Clients will contact you via TCP
rather than UDP once this option is disabled.
Download (Capacities)
Maximum capacity for downloads in KB/s. This value will be used for statistics
plot scaling and for the system tray menu quick speed settings. This does not
affect your download limit, but should be greater or equal to it.
Upload (Capacities)
Maximum capacity for upload in KB/s. This value will be used for statistics plot
scaling and for the system tray menu quick speed settings. This does not affect
your upload limit, but should be greater or equal to it.
Download (Limits)
Maximum downloads speed limit in KB/s. This setting must be chosen wisely as
using the full line speed will degrade your downloads/uploads. A couple of KB/s
below the data rate of your line will be ok. You won't download over this limit,
even if you can.
Upload (Limits)
Maximum upload speed in KB/s. This setting must be chosen wisely as using the
full line speed will degrade your downloads/uploads. A couple of KB/s below the
data rate of your line will be ok. You won't upload over this limit, even if you
can.
Limitless Download (enabled when upload >= 10)
This option disables download limit control -- maximal possible download speed
will be used. That means that download speed will be limitless when upload limit
is greater or equal to 10 KB/s (in this case 0 will be displayed in the download
limit editbox), or it will be maximized according to the current upload limit
(and corresponding ratio). The download limit slider in the system tray will be
disabled in this case.
Queue Size
The maximum number of users allowed in your upload queue. A small number is
preferred if you close eMule Plus regularly. A big number will be better if it
is always on.
Max. Connections
The maximum allowed number of simultaneous connections. Having a large number
(like 500) will improve your source finding and transfer speeds, but could hog
your link. Windows 9x/ME can't handle more than 200 simultaneous connections; so
going over it will render your system prone to crashes. Almost every home-router
is limited to 256 simultaneous connections. In this case do not set the value
higher than 200 to avoid problems.
In 5 Sec (Max. Connections)
The maximum allowed number of simultaneous connections to be started in a 5
seconds time frame. A setting of 20 is recommended for Win9x/ME users and
Internet connections via router.
Show overhead bandwidth
The overhead generated by eMule Plus will be shown in the status bar and system
tray tooltip when this option is enabled.
Enable Lancast
Lancast is a feature which enables eMule Plus to work better on a LAN. It makes
eMule Plus broadcast (UDP multicast) its shares onto the LAN. Other Lancast
enabled eMule clients will listen for these broadcasts and download files at a
much faster speeds using their private IP addresses. Lancast doesn't break eMule
Plus as a p2p application it just adds to it, promotes more sharing and saves
upload and download bandwidth in LAN environments. Lancast transfer speeds are
not limited by upload/download limits.
Open client ports on internal WinXP firewall
The setting activates automatic opening of the incoming UDP and incoming main
TCP ports in Windows XP internal (built-in) firewall to enable unblocked
communication for eMule Plus. All opened ports are closed at eMule Plus
shutdown.
This feature is intended to be used only for Windows XP internal firewall.
Proxy enabled
Enables SOCKS or HTTP 1.1 proxy support. You need to have the required data
about the proxy to use this feature. Take in account that a connection through a
proxy is always a LowID one.
Proxy type
SOCKS 4/4a/5 and HTTP 1.1 proxies are supported. Choose the one you have.
Proxy address
IP address or DNS name of the proxy server.
Proxy port
Port of the proxy server.
Username
If the proxy requires validation set the needed username here.
Password
If the proxy requires validation set the needed password here.
Authentication enabled
Enables authentication support. You must set a username and password.
Automatic serverconnect without proxy
When enabled it allows to connect to servers without using the proxy support.
Server connection attempt timeout
Sets server connection timeout after which a connection to the next server is
initiated or a connection error is reported.
Server connection Keep-Alive
Sets time interval eMule Plus will use to send a message to a server to retain
the connection when you have frequent disconnection problems. A value of 0 means
disabled.
Remove dead server after
After the specified number of requests not being answered by the server, it is
removed from the server list.
Auto-update serverlist at startup
When selected every time you start eMule Plus the server list will be downloaded
from the web site specified in addresses.dat file. You can have multiple
server list providers for backup in case one of them isn't working. It is
recommended that you leave this option unchecked since most serverlists are
being overloaded, and updating your serverlist is not necessary anymore -- the
automatic serverlist updating mechanism through other clients and servers works
extremely well.
Use smart LowID check on connect
If you receive a Low ID after a connection to a server eMule Plus will try to
reconnect up to three times. After three attempts, automatic connection will be
disabled. Server priority is being used to choose the connection order (High
first, Low at the end of the connection queue).
Update serverlist when connecting to servers and clients
When you connect to a new server your local serverlist is compared with the
server’s list of known servers, and updated accordingly. And every time a user
connects to you or vice versa, the server he is connected to is added to your
server list if you don't have it yet. It is recommended that you enable this
option and avoid updating your serverlist manually or automatically using
addresses.dat.
Restart waiting downloads on connect
Every time a server connection is achieved eMule Plus will ask for sources for
files paused or waiting for downloads.
Autoconnect on Startup
Every time you start eMule Plus it will try to connect to a server. Server
priority is being used to choose the connection order (High first, Low at the
end of the connection queue).
Autoconnect to servers in static list only
Connection to servers will be made to the servers on your static server list
only when this option is selected.
Reconnect on loss
After a link or server connection drops, eMule Plus will initiate connection to
a new server. Server priority is being used to choose the connection order (High
first, Low at the end of the connection queue).
Use auxiliary port to connect to a server
Some servers support additional auxiliary ports for users that have the standard
port filtered by their ISP. This port should be added manually to the server
properties (there is an edit feature to do that) and will be used whenever it
exists for the server your client is connecting and the feature is enabled.
Use priority system
Enable/Disable the usage of the server priority system.
Set manually added servers to High Priority
Priority of all manually added servers will be High.
URLs for ICC
A list of URLs (separated by '|') used to check the Internet connection when
it's down so servers are not removed because of maximum connections failure.
Port
Web Server will listen this TCP port for HTTP requests.
Template
Allows you to select a different template.
Password
The password used to enable access to the service at login time. It's stored
encrypted in the preferences.ini file so you don't need to worry.
Reload Templates
By clicking this button the templates are reloaded without needing to restart

Number of invalid login attempts (Intruder Detection)
Sets the number of failed login attempts to be allowed before the login is
disabled. You can set the number of minutes Web Server should be disabled for or
even stop the service at all.
Disable Login for (5-60) minutes (Intruder Detection)
The number of minutes Web Server will be disabled for after an intruder attempt
was detected. A value of 0 shutdowns Web Server (beware that you won't be able
to login anymore until you enable Web Server service again).
Enabled (Intruder Detection)
Enable/Disable the Intruder Detection feature.
Password (Mobile Mule)
The password used to enable access to the service at login time. It's stored
encrypted in the preferences.ini file so you don't need to worry.
Port (Mobile Mule)
Mobile Mule server will listen this TCP port for requests.
Enable (Mobile Mule)
Enable/Disable Mobile Mule service.
NOTES:
To access Web Server you just have to enter this address in your web navigator’s
address bar: http://your_ip:port
If you are behind a firewall you will need to open the specific port you
selected.
If eMule Plus is running on a machine connected to a local network, the IP that
you need to type if you are trying to access Web Server from within the network
is the local IP for that machine.

It can't be more than 9.83 minutes (the default eDonkey re-ask time is 10
minutes).
Ban Time (Ban)
The duration of the ban. After this length of time a user will be unbanned.
Can't be more than 300 minutes.
Send message to banned users (Ban)
A notification message ("You're being banned because your client is behaving
aggressively!") is sent to each banned user. An entry is added to the debug log
whenever a client is banned.
Enabled (Ban)
Enable/Disable Ban feature.
Community Sharing
Enter the name of the community you are member of.
No Banning (Community Sharing)
Community members won't be banned even if they behave aggressively.
Enabled (Community Sharing)
Enable/Disable Community Sharing feature.
Max Sources Per File (Save/Load Sources)
Number of sources to be stored between sessions. There is an upper limit of 20
and a lower limit of 5.
Outdated after (Save/Load Sources)
Sources will be removed after being for more than x days in the SLS file (x can
be 1 or 2). Only active sources are stored every 10 minutes.
Filename Cleanup
What cleanup does: at first the filenames which may contain url-encoded
characters like "%20" are decoded. Then space holders like underscore, "+" and
invalid filename characters (\/:*?<>|) are replaced by spaces. After that
special strings which can be defined using the Edit button and all unknown tags
between [ and ] (if enabled) are removed. Dots are replaced by spaces only if
they are not between two numbers like in version strings and dates. The first
letter of each word is capitalized and the word "CD" is always written in
uppercase. Advertising expressions like "Shared By" and "Sponsored For" are
removed automatically and must not be defined in settings. Finally, space
sequences are substituted by one space, and empty cleaned up brackets are
removed.
General warning on changing filenames:
Images for CD recording software often consists of more than one file, e.g.
*.cue/*.bin (CDRWin), *.mds/*.mdf (Alcohol120%), *.ccd/*.img/*.sub (CloneCD),
*.bwt/*.bwi/*.bws (BlindWrite). The option should be used with care when
downloading such files. Changing the filename may result in error messages when
trying to burn them as the correct filename is also saved within these files. If
you change the filename, it has to be replaced in the according layout files,
too. For *.cue files this can easily be done with Windows notepad, but the other
formats mostly require some hex editor like UltraEdit or WinHex. For CloneCD it
is only important that all files have the same (cleaned up) names.
Auto-Cleanup filenames of new downloads (Filename Cleanup)
Enables the feature for all new files added to the download list.
Cleanup all between [ and ] (Filename Cleanup)
Enables the feature for unknown tags even if they are not defined in settings.
Edit (Filename Cleanup)
Allows you to edit the strings being removed by the cleanup feature, separated
by pipes. There is a predefined set of the common strings.
Enable countermeasures against unfair clients
Many clients have some unfair options that harm legit eMule users (i.e. less
slots available, no upload, hash stealing and more). By enabling this option
eMule Plus will try to overcome this wrong behaviour. Leecher MODs are banned
after detection and a message will be kept in the debug log if 'Send message to
banned users' option is disabled.
Auto-check for new eMule Plus version
With this option you will be informed (in the log) on client startup that a new
version is available.
*.dat, *.met, *.ini, *.part, *.part.met, *.part.txtsrc
Select file types to be backed up. Beware of *.part files as they're mostly big
(because of their size, backing up *.part files may take a few minutes).
Select all
Selects all file types to be backed up.
Backup now
Performs manual backup.
Auto Backup on Exit (Overwrite)
Files will be backed up each time you close eMule Plus. This option always
overwrites already existing files.
Overwrite existing files
Whenever a backup is done files will be overwritten.
Backup selected files every [ ] hrs
A scheduled backup can be set with this option to be run every defined number of
hours.
Backup directory
This is a directory where all backed up files will be stored.
Display Part Traffic
Part traffic feature can be enabled or disable to help low-end computers.
Upload bar style
Changes the style of the bar shown in Shared Files. All required data is stored
even if you use the minimum configuration, so you can switch back to the most
informative style later.
Upload bar color
Sets the color style for the upload bar.
With this feature you can set different datarates for different time frames.
This is useful when you need almost the whole bandwidth available for work
duties during day, but you can allocate the whole bandwidth for sharing at
night.
Enable
Enable/Disable this feature.
Time
The time when the datarate shift will take place. Datarates will be changed only
at this time, and settings are not verified until the configured time arrives to
save CPU cycles.
Download
Desired download speed to be used after the configured time.
Upload
Desired upload speed to be used after the configured time.
Max. Connections
Desired maximum connections to be used after the configured time.
In 5 sec
Desired maximum connections in 5 seconds to be used after the configured time.
Except
Any day of the week can be excluded not to change datarates on this day. That
means the last datarate change that will take effect will be the one of the
Shift 1 (i.e. if you set a Saturday exclusion the Friday Shift 1 will be the
last used).
Filter Level (0-255) (IP Filters)
Sets the number that will serve as the filter value for the feature. Any lower
value will be filtered, but beware that you can start to lose valid sources if
you set a wrong value here.
Filter Clients (IP Filters)
Clients listed in the ipfilter.dat database will be filtered and no
connection will be established nor a response to any request will be sent to
them.
Filter servers (and DynIp servers)
IP addresses listed on the ipfilter.dat file will be filtered from the
server list and their connections refused. Dynamic IP servers will be filtered
as well.
Update at startup (IP Filters)
Forces database update at startup. You can set the period of the updates, please
try to be conservative not to exhaust database providers allowed bandwidth.
from this URL (IPFilter or PeerGuardian format) (IP Filters)
Sets the URL from where the database will be downloaded.
Update (IP Filters)
Forces the update and real-time reload of the database. After successful
operation, update won't be allowed to be done again for 24 hours to protect
database providers and avoid misusage of the feature.
Filter clients doing File Scanning for 24hs
Some aggressive clients request files you don't have or even never had (this is
a common MLdonkey behaviour). With this option you can filter them as a penalty
for their misbehaviour.
Filter clients sending small fake data packets
There are fake ed2k clients sending small uncompressed packets with incorrect
data. Enabling this setting will discard such packets avoiding data corruption
and filter out such users. As such cases are very rare, please, use this option
only when you get such kind of packets.
Automatically scan completed downloads (Antivirus)
Whenever a file completes, an Antivirus scanning by the specified tool will be
started over it.
Antivirus Program (Antivirus)
Specifies full file name of the executable file used by your Antivirus software
to scan files.
Scan Parameters (Antivirus)
Sets the parameters needed (if any) to do the scan over the file.
Die Warteliste von eMule kann durch Drücken auf On Queue im
Transfer Fenster eingesehen werden. Bis auf Bewertung und Punkte erklären
sich die dort angezeigten Angaben von selbst.
Bewertung
Die Bewertung gibt an, welche Modifikatoren ein Client in der
Warteschlange erhalten hat. Bei jedem neuen Benutzer in der Warteliste wird von
einem Startwert 100 ausgegangen. Verschiedene Faktoren werden mit dem Startwert
multipliziert um die Bewertung zu errechnen:
>
Gebannt:
Faktor: x0
Benutzer die aufgrund zu haüfigen Nachfragens gebannt werden erhalten gar
keine Punkte.
>
Niderige ID
Faktor: keiner [x0,8]
Versionen vor .27x belegen Benutzer mit niedriger ID mit einem Faktor von
0,8.
>
Verbunden
Faktor: keiner [x1,5]
Versionen vor .27x geben einem schon verbunden Benutzer einen Bonus von
x1,5.
>
Kreditpunkte
Faktor: x1 - x10
Das Kredit System
berechnet einen Bonus aus dem Verhältnis von Upload zu Download.
>
Dateipriorität für
freigegebene Dateien
Faktor: x1,8 - x0,2
Je nach Priorität der Datei bekommen Benutzer eine andere Bewertung wenn sie
diese Datei anfordern. Versionen vor .27x haben andere Bewertungen. Diese
sind in [ ] angegeben.
Release:
x1,8 [x5]
Hoch:
x0,9 [x2]
Normal:
x0,7 [x1]
Niedrieg:
x0,6 [x0,5]
Sehr niedrig:
x0,2 [x0,2]
>
eMule Version älter als
v.20a
Faktor: x0,5
Da alte Versionen eine ungleich höhere Netzbelastung verursachen, werden sie
mit einem Straffaktor von x0,5 belegt.
Beispiel:
Ein Benutzer hat durch vieles Uploaden einen Kreditfaktor von x8 erreicht und
fordert eine Datei mit hoher Priorität an. Seine Bewertung errechnet sich somit
zu: 100 x 8 x 0,9 = 720.
Punkte
Der Punktewert wird mit den gleichen Faktoren wie die Bewertung errechnet nur
zählt hier zusätzlich die Wartezeit des Benutzers in der Warteliste. Der
Punktestand bestimmt die Reihenfolge in der die Uploadslots vergeben werden. ***
hinter dem Punktewert bedeutet, dass dieser Benutzer als nächster einen
Uploadplatz zugeteilt bekommt.
Die Punkte berechnen sich zu:
Punkte = Bewertung x Wartezeit [s] / 100
Jeder Benutzer dessen gesamt Faktor grösser 1 ist wird mit einem gelben
Benutzer-Icon angezeigt.
