eMule 0.26d Maella v2.0 beta8

Hi,

I fixed this time (I hope...) the annoying bug with the smaller download rate.

I would like as well to define a few new rules. Please, before reporting a bug here:
- Check if the bug is not a commun to the eMule v0.26b (Bug Reports)
- Check if the bug as not already by fixed with a newer version
... and try to provide all the usefull information.

General
----------

1. [FAF] -Allow Bandwidth Settings in <1KB Incremements-

For the users of analog modem (e.g. 56k), the bandwidth can be set with an increment of 0.1 [KB/s].

2. [patch] -Small latency-

The basic perdiod has been reduce from 100 ms to 50 ms.
This lower period help to have a better control of the bandwidth.

3. [patch] -New bandwidth control-

Both the controls for the upload and download datarate have been fully rewritten.
It should allow a smoother use of the bandwidth resources and a lower ping.
It corrects the bug of the Patch#5 (v0.26c only) that avoid a user to change its setting to a unlimitted download.
Attention: the upload limit should not be set to 'unlimited'

4. [patch] -Accurate measure of bandwidth: IP, TCP or UDP, eDonkey protocol, etc-

The complet measure of the bandwidth has been rewritten.
The computing of the bandwidth is proceed only once per second.
It should be much more accurate (almost real-time, average value for the last 2 seconds) and use less CPU time (based Ottavio84).
The overhead includes the IP overhead (partially), TCP and UDP overhead, eDonkey overhead + control. The measure is done at the Socket's interface.
New curves have been added to the graphics to display the 'Overall-current', 'Current', 'Average-minute' and 'Average-session' datarate.

5. [patch] -New Save/load Sources- enkeyDEV(Ottavio84)

This patch saves 10 sources per downloaded file.
The sources have an expiration of 3 days.
The sources are saved in the .txtsrc files, that are text and so human-readable.

6. [patch] -Enable/Disable source exchange in preference- (Tarod)

Now when Disable Exchanging Sources is active sources are not sent nor asked.
Users with a low bandwidth should better let the exchange source disabled.

7. [patch] -Overhead compensation (pseudo full rate control)-

This is the most experimental part of this mode.
It could be enabled/disabled in the preference.
When activated, the upload/downloads limits applied to the full bandwidth (data + overhead).
The upload/download control tries to compensate the measured overhead.

8. [patch] -General Code Improvement-

Divers code improvement to reduce the cpu load. Most of these changes have been reported in the Forum of the emule project

9. [fix] -Downloadlistctrl-

Fix a bug of the official release 'Sources are sometimes not displayed or displayed under the wrong file'.
This fix is still experimental.

10. [patch] -MTU Configuration-

The MTU can not be configured with the preferences.(See http://www.hms.com)

11. [patch] -Defeat 0-filled Part Senders- (Idea of xrmb)

Check if a received packet is not a fake. A packet and the source are rejected in two conditions:
- A packet is filled with the same pattern (e.g. only with zero)
- The compression factor is too high (>5x) for this kind of file (e.g. zip, rar, ace, mp3, ogg, jpg).
With some kind of file "*.nrg", it could be necessary to disabled this test in preferences.

12. [patch] -AntiCrash/AntiFake handling- (Vorlost/Mortillo)

Check the name of an Hello packet to avoid a crash.

PS: sorry for my english

[Powi]

PS: sorry for my english

Wie wäre es mal in Deutsch *lol*

Das wäre doch mal ne erfindung oder ?

Sorry aber mich regt es fürchterlich auf das alles in english gepostet wir obwohl wir in Deutschland leben , wo es noch menschen gibt die es nicht so mit dem English haben .

mfg Powi

Werd Ihn aber trotzdem mal testen

[NaP]

ich sach ma so unter Dresdenern. der, der den mod macht, ist nicht immer n deutscher. und wenn du nix zu tun hast, kannst ja gerne übersetzen. gl & hf

ps. irgenwie fehlt da in der changelog das für dei beta8

[Anonymous]

hat denn den schon jemand getestet???

[Usul]

@NaP

Hab die Änderungen der beta8 ergänzt.

@renegade

Hatte das Teil jetzt mal 1 Tag und 18h laufen, scheint ganz gut zu laufen, leidet für meine Begriffe aber etwas an Feature-Armut (zumindest vermisse ich die Sivka-Features ) Tut aber tapfer seinen Dienst, kein Grund zur Klage. Schön finde ich, das der Overhead mit einer eigenen Kurve in den Statistiken auftaucht (genaugenommen gibt es eine Kurve data+overhead, also das, was Emule tatsächlich an Bandbreite verbraucht).

[Re-Animator]

Was ich nicht verstehen kann das man immer noch kein Englisch, heute in der Gesellsschaft ist es eigentlich pflicht besonders im Berufleben wenn man weiterkommen will ... tz tz tz

[Flanders]

Was heist, macht eigentlcih MTU & auf was sollte man es stellen ??
