I think the developers of [ae]mule disagree

Its possibility to accept floating point limits and to monitor (almost?) all trafic through the bottleneck - modem is what makes it the best mod for such a comuter.

Xtreme already use floating point values... but you can't go below the minimum upload-speed.

And that's precisely what my problem is.
I'd change it myself, except I don't have anything to compile the sources with.
How about lowering the minimum a bit, the 1:3 ratio will still be mandatory so only those that really must will set it that low.

hope i posting in right place.
Please advice:
am a new user. I have found that i receive the message in the server page that my upload settings too high. how to correct this. Also, in my transfer/statistics page i always find that the upload data is far higher than any download speeds.
thanks

reduce your uploadlimit. that's all.

Hi Xman,

I am using the 5.2 beta4 version (noticed today the release of the beta5). Sorry for posting this here but since the thread about the beta is in german I don't know if I could post it there...

I don't know if my problem is anything related with the beta, probably not, but it appears that the menu option 'Download Limit' is not working, because I set for the value I want and the downloads are always above for a great margin.

I noticed that with the original emule it only works for values >1 kB/s so I set it to 2, but with your mod it appears to not being working... am I doing or considering something wrong?

I need this option working because I have free download for a part of the day and in the rest of it I want to limit the downloads but still being able to upload. Currently I stop all the downloads and keep the emule just uploading...

Side Note: I can follow the other threads using babelfish translator, but in the thread of the beta it does not work. I believe it's because those boxes with a scroll bar that you use in the posts... It would be nice if you could stop using it... :-)

Best Regards

check out is you didn't enable the 1:3 amount based limit at Xtreme I options

Hi Xman,
Yes it was that. I have read your web page and found the explanation there, sorry for missing it.
Thanks!

One more question: is not possible for you to consider the download limit even when that option is set?
I know it seems a contradictory idea, but for me that schedule the limitless download for the period between 1:00 and 8:00 and to 2kB/s for the rest of the day, I would like that option to be set. It's bad have to wait until 1:00 to activate it and then get up at 8:00 to deactivate it... :-)
I set my upload limit to 12kB/s but sometimes the upload is under this value, and I would like to increase my download rate activating that option.
Will it be very hard to implement? Apparently is just letting the download limit being considered always...

Best Regards.

hmm.. it's a special situation for you. But I don't want to change the current way of working, because:
- for most people it is sufficient
- don't want to makes things more complicate

Xman,

I understand your position, but in fact i believe it's more simple the way i asked, because if we have an option which says that limits something, I think it should work that way...

Unless you were talking about keeping the code simple, there I agree with you. I'm also a programer and know what you are talking...

But thanks anyway, I only asked because it appeared to be a simple think to write, like an if else or something...

I have not yet verified, but it seems that the download was not affected by turning the option off, so maybe it's not even a problem.

Thanks and keep the good work. Your mod is great!

Best Regards.

Issue with 5.2.1
 

I have been using Xtreme v0.47a for a couple of months. I set over 99% of my files to very low upload priority and that had the effect of conserving 75 - 80% of my bandwidth for users who are sharing and contributing to the network. I downloaded the newest version from the website a couple of days ago and unzipped it onto a different harddrive. Since then my bandwidth is totally clogged by leeches and no one who is sharing files can download anything from me because of all the leeches hogging network resources. Is the new antileech.dll broken? What's wrong with these new files? I have enjoyed using 47a but it is pointless having 99% of my bandwidth soaked up by leeches who will never contribute anything to the network. Is there some way to fix this? One further question: Why do downloads always stop at 98 or 99%. Not occasionally does it do this, but always. This is counter-productive when I'm downloading a file that only one person has and 47a refuses to complete the download. Then finally the one person who has the file logs off and never comes online again. This has happened so many times I can't remember. Why on earth does 47a do this? Thanks! Jihan

wrong. The priority has no effect on which client you upload, but which files you prefer.

how do you identify leechers ? Do they have a red icon ?

definitife no.

are you sure not to download fake files ? What does the verboselog say ?

Hi Xman,

In the sequence of my previous messages, is it possible for you to add to the scheduler the enabling/disabling of the 1:3 amount based limit at Xtreme I options?

I have thought that maybe this is an easier way to solve my situation...

Thanks.

Is there any way of increasing the statistics graph time interval? or is there any way of logging the download/upload to the log file?

I would like to see how the download/upload behaves during an entire day, and the graph only shows 37min...

Thanks.

If you set the update delay of the graph to 3 seconds (Options --> Statistics) and play with the width of the window you can set the graph to 37 minutes or whatever you want.
And in "Options" -->Extended" --> "Verbose" you can enable "Enabled" and "Log upload/download events".

Kind Regards
