@DriveOff: i had this problem, too, but it's working these days. try to check ur open port and don't do many consecutive search in a short period of time.
@FoolOnTheHill: erm.. i cant remember it too !!
@Sambo: there are many reasons why upnp isn't working:
1- router doesnt support it (modems dont even use it)
2- some services.msc may not be running
3- some other fw or antivirus software is messing with upnp queries

now i have a question of my own. because of
this problem, im left with a mere.. 3 downloads in queue. so, after joining a server for the 2nd time, xtreme will only ask for ONE source at the time. 'so whats the problem', you guys say, 'that is to prevent spam'. of course i know that, we don't want ppl who's downloading over 100 files asking ALL of them everytime they join a server!! my problem is.. it keeps asking the same friggin file, over and over again !!

i just activated the "save log to disc" option, hadn't it switch on before because im using a very low spec (and low power consumption too) computer.
i discovered that xtreme or original emule client have an internal timer that doesn't allow you to make queries to the servers, even when u manually connect to another server. i find that feature very well implemented, and should stay there to prevent overload to servers and even more important, to identify and ban fast connecting clients and/or leechers.
unfortunately i dont know how to code, else i woulnt be making this post. so my sugestion is,
when under such a short number of downloading files, lets say, 9 or less, clients should ask sources to the server for all files they're downloading. only after the limit the existing timer rate should apply. i doesn't represent a large increase in badnwitdh, i think it could even leverage it, because ppl like me won't be jumping from server to server every and so on =)
thx a lot for your time,
