Thanks a lot
I haven't seen ^^

Anti-leecher bug?
 

I installed Xtreme Emule 5.3 (from X.official site) on my office computer and tried to download some files from my home computer (also running Xtreme 5.3). When I returned home I saw a message under the Leecher-Messages tab:

03-Oct-06 10:40:23: Banned: Userhash invalid; xx.xx.xxx.xx 'MyOfficeName[!xmn] «Xtreme 5.3»' (eMule v0.47c [Xtreme 5.3],None/None/None)

What might this be? A bug? :)

Close your office-mule, go to the config-folder and delete the files "preferences.dat" and "cryptkey.dat". Restart it. This should fix this problem.

Kind Regards

aalerich.. what tips you are giving ?

This log message only means there is any client (leecher) which use you name and tries to steal you userhash.. this client got banned.
Everything ok.

hi,

can you help me setting up my options in xtreme emule 5.3 to get high download speed or give me a guide


thanks

have a look at eMule-Project.net - Official eMule Homepage. Downloads, Help, Docu, News... there are many infos how to get a high id.

Thanx for the tip, aalerich. Will try to do it tomorrow.

Xman, thanx for the reply.

First, i'd like to express my gratitude and appreciation to Xman and all the Xtreme team for making this great mod.
I actually liked it so much that a while ago I wrote an entry about Xtreme mod in the filesharing-web emule wiki, available here:

www.filesharing|web.de/mediaWiki/index.php/English:eXtreme (remove the | character)

No wonder I install it everywhere I go - be it home or work. :) Cheers from Russia, guys!

It's hard to conceive, though, how a leecher could possibly imitate my *office emule client* to my *home computer client* - with their user name and ip different. More probable to me, it's the overzealous anti-leecher component somehow blocking the connection of valid clients (which might be a frustrating bug, especially when downloading rare files). I hope you can take another look at the hash validation function to see if it's bug-free.

Tomorrow, in my office I will try to download from my home emule again and see if the problem persists.

ok.. now I think I got what you want to tell me...

The advise from aalerich isn´t wrong.. but you must know one thing:
whenever you change your userhash/cryptkey but keep your IP, you will get banned from all emules (not only mods). So, before you change it (by deleting preferences.dat/crypkey.dat) you have either to change your ip... or wait at least 2 hours, until all the clients have deleted you.
Or even better: don´t conect to your home pc with two different userhashes but restart it bevore you want to connect with a new userhash.

never got such a report until know.. and never saw a wrong banning. Can you give me an example ?

Is it possible that the problem was caused by the fact that I was running two emule clients simultaneously (one of which was copied from the other) on two computers in my office? Both of them were trying to download from my home emule. They have different user names but possibly the same ip (i'll check on it tomorrow).

Hi Xman, have you looked that "always safe .met/.dat writing"-thing that gives heapes of errors? Is it only me it happens for?

"2006-10-01 11:06:39: ERROR while saving part file: 046.part.met (<filename>) - Permission denied" and hundreds more...

It's not because eMule's running as an unpriviledged user as I answered on the previous page, post 217.

Xman,

I reinstalled 5.2.2 and 5.3. Both in brand new directories. Still getting Stalled! Reading from disk on clients. It can be reproduced with various people. I have given up on the mod and went elsewhere. Been working on this for 3 weeks now to no avail. ScarAngel 1.5 was about 50% better with this error. Different people were saying my queue was full on their side. All Xtreme based mods have this issue. When I switch back to official and non-Xtreme based this problem goes away. I don't know and I give up.

@Bladedance
yes.. now you found the reason. That´s what I said here:
the username plays no rule. But one client tried to steal the credits of the other client->ban.
If you let run 2 emules at your office you must choose different ports and different userhashes.

@Naugas
I can´t help you.. because the errormessage is quite clear... emule doesn´t have the right permissions. You have to check it out and evetually reasign the permissions to the temp-folder.

@Wilhito
as I already said... scarangel has the same code as Xtreme... and nobody I know, could reproduce this problem. Is it related to a special file ? Maybe a very small or very big one ? Is the file you try to upload a complete file or a file your are downloading ? Does morph (8.14 or 9.0) work ? Which Xtreme-version was the first one where the problem began ? I need more infos.

But it does access and write the files correctly at _all_other_times_, only not when enabling safe .met/.dat writing. And even then the files do get updated (the timestamp changes, as I said previously). And eMule is running under admin rights, and there's no restriction in access to the Temp folder or the files in it, so I can't see how that would be the problem?

did you try official emule ? If you have the same problems with it you can post a support request at emule-project. I´m sure there are users who can help you better than me.

Hmm, yes, I'll try the official version. Looking at a help post in the official forum, they have a list of files to backup and transfer when changing installation. Are moving these enough, or are there any other files in the Xtreme installation that should be moved also?

The files mentioned:

• Adresses.dat
• Category.ini
• Clients.met,
• Clients.met.bak
• Cryptkey.dat
• Emfriends.met
• Ipfilter.dat
• Known.met
• Known2.met
• Preference.dat
• Preferences.ini
• Server.met
• Sharedir.dat
• Statistics.ini
