eMule v0.29a [lovelace.11] (21.6.2003)

[[lovelace]]

new mod eMule0.29a-[lovelace.11]

News:
Back again!
I had some big hardware problems in the mean time and was not able to take part on emule-mod development. And also my spare-time is getting very low. And I'm looking for a job.
But nevertheless here's a nice new version. Hope you like it.

Here are the links: (thank you aldee) and for those who don't know: you can click on them

-----------------------------
Special Features Explained:
-----------------------------

• AntiFakeBlockCheck/Corruption Handling

lovelace-mods use an intelligent fake block handling and are immune against fake block senders. If a supercompressed/suspicious block causes a download getting corrupted, no additional supercompressed blocks are accepted anymore for this file, and also the sender gets temporarily blacklisted. Under certain conditions the part size doesn't match, so that a download is not able to get finished. lovelace mods will try to correct the filsize.

• SUCv2

With this feature eMule tries to adapt the upload dynamically to the momentary extent of the internet utilization. It is tried to achieve as much upload as possible, however without using the full upload capacity completely so that the download starts suffering. This feature makes sense only for ADSL lines. The utilization of the line is not determined by an additional ping signal, but from the exponentially averaged values of the response time and/or signal running time of/to other clients, with which eMule must communicate anyway. Thus no additional traffic is produced. The four parameters low pass, high pass, drift and pitch are used for adjustment. These options are explained in detail with a diagram, which is shipped with the lovelace-package.

• AntiCreditTheft

Even the official eMule-Version blocks userhashs occuring more than once. But the problem with the official version is, it doesn't differentiate between good and bad. Even worse: if there's a userhash thief, he's able to kick you out of the queue and as a side effect he inceases the asked-counter, so that in the end not only all userhash thefts are getting banned but also you. The lovelace mod uses the same mechanism as the official one, but tries to select the good one by a ranking scheme:

- if a client has uploaded >3MB, this IP gets trusted
- clients with a trusted IP get 10 points
- if a client connects with a different IP within half an hour the trusted IP was seen it gets 0 points
- if a userhash is used for at least half an hour by only one IP, the client gets 5 points
- otherwise the clients get only 1 point

Clients with a score equal to 5 or more get access to their credits. If there are more clients using the same userhash, the one with the higher ranking is kept, the other one gets disconnected.
If the lovelace-mod detects clients trying to get in by different/multiple userhashs, they get disrespected. This means, they will be kept in the queue but get a score of zero.

There has also been some changes to the client icons. Clients which are able to understand the extended eMule protocol get a blue icon. If they are believed not being a credit theft (trusted clients), they get a yellow star.

• Community Mimic

Community strings are used by a number of mods. If you have a special community string in you name, you will get pushed up in their queue. This mean, these mods don't give equal rights to all clients (which give the same upload). This is why lovelace-mods don't use community sharing. The Community Mimic feature tries to detect community strings and mimics these in order to get into the community. But itself it will give the same ranking to them like to all others.

• New Credit System

formula:
dl-modifier=100*((1-1/(1+exp((3*{MB uploaded to us}^2-{MB downloaded from us}^2)/1000)))^6.6667)

new credit system (start:1, max:100, min:0.1, ratio:1:1.5, only one formula)
In contrast to the original credit system, credits are evaluated more on differences and not on quotients. Using the orginal system you have the best credit values shortly after generating a new userhash. With the new credit system you get good credit values faster if you already have uploaded many MB before (and did not cheat by killing the userhash).

old system: 5up/ 5down = DLModifier of 2, additional 5up = DLModifier of 4
10up/10down = DLModifier of 2, additional 5up = DLModifier of 3
-> for the same amount of additional upload you get less score (-25%)
new system: 5up/ 5down = DLModifier of 1.16, additional 5up = DLModifier of 2.31
10up/10down = DLModifier of 1.85, additional 5up = DLModifier of 5.09
-> for the same amount of additional upload you get more score (+120%)
because you already uploaded a certain amount before.

this is only one simple example; new system has even more advantages. So in general generally generous uploaders get a nicer DLModifier than tightwads.

• 1st-Last Block Handling

If you have set a file you share to "release"-status, this file will get spread very fast, because the clients requesting this file will get a very high ranking. lovelace mods will give an even higher ranking to those clients, which already have the first and last block of a file.

• Small/Rare File Push Based On Waterlevels

If you select this option, smaller files and rarer files will get a higher score. Waterlevels are showing, how well a file is spread, not counting the sources, which have the file complete. So, if all blocks in the waterlevel display are deep blue, or at least no read block is there, the file is well distributed, and you can safely stop releasing it.

• Funny Nicks

With eMule first install a standard name is adjusted. Since many users are too lazy to change these names, the lovelace mod changes these names into some unique funny names, appending [FunnyNick].

• A4AF (Asked For Another File) control

With eMule, you can't ask a client for two different files. The status of one of the file is set to A4AF.
Swap all A4AF to this file auto: if you ckeck this option, clients asked for an other file are used as source for this file automatically.
Swap all A4AF to this file now: same as before, but not automatically.
Swap all A4AF to any other file now: send all sources from this file to other files which use these clients as a source, too.
The first number of the sources count is the number of files in A4AF status.

• Source Dropping

Features taken from Sivka. I was asked to implement them. You don't have to use them.

NNS, FQS, HQRS, AutoHL timer: indicates, in which time interval (in seconds) NNS (no needed sources), FQS (full queue sources) and HQRS (high queue ranking sources) are dropped from the download queue.
MIN% < = MAX%: sources are only dropped if the percentage of max-connections is in this range.
Wwith the automatic dropping the NNS is only consideres the MAX% value, with manual dropping only the MIN% value.
Before a source is dropped all A4AF are checked and the clients are handed over, if possible.

• Upload Per Slot

You can set here, how much upload is given per slot. However, if the maximum upload speed can't be achieved, more slots are opened.

more features are listed in the changelog:

------------------------------------
[lovelace] mod important features
------------------------------------
-> "AntiCreditTheft" ([lovelace]-mods will detect stolen credits/userhashs. Clients
using stolen userhashs are not able to download from [lovelace]-mods).
-> new credit system (start:1, max:100, min:0.1, ratio:1:1.5, only one formula)
(see also additional folder)
-> "Smart Upload Control v2" (SUCv2) + speed per slot (see also additional folder)
-> "AntiFakeHandling" ([lovelace]-mods use intelligent fake block handling and are
immune against fake block senders - aka Corruption Handling.)
-> not only(!) 1st and last chunks are released (faster releases) (also be sure to
select: "try to download first and last chunks first" to get higher priority
by a releaser's [lovelace]-mod)
-> small/rare push based on waterlevels
(-> "AntiCrash" Features, mod should run more stable)

[DQA321]

[DQA321]

NaP,

warten wir es mal ab ! Auf jeden Fall ist es super das LOVELACE und auch MOPRH weitermachen ... gibts wieder ordentlich was zum Testen

[cyrex2001]

@[lovelace], danke für die neue version!
hast du dich doch, für die sivka-optionen, entschieden!
cyrex2001

[[lovelace]]

@cyrex,
ich habe einfach alle stimmen aus den emule-web und den emule.sf Umfragen zusammengezählt... War knapp, aber zugunsten sivka..

[cyrex2001]

[lovelace], wie findes du die neue ban-funktion von morpheus-team, bindest du die auch, bei deinem mod ein?
achja, ich glaub die uncut-funktion funzt nicht!
cyrex2001

[burner]

endlich ist er wieder da!
jetzt haben die leecher gar nix mehr zu lachen
hoffentlich hörst du jetzt nich wieder so plötzlich auf...

gruß dein fan

[Borg-King]

Ja die und Tschüss Funktion in der Uncut Version funzt wirklich nicht.Ist zwar nicht schlimm aber doch brauchbar wenn mal einer durch das Raster fällt oder einen UL Slot belegt und 0 zieht.

[SBT111]

Klasse der Mod,saugt echt super.Seid langem mal wieder

Nur kann mir das mal jemand erklären:


"Your Client has been banned because of unsocial sharing methods"

Versteh ich nicht ganz,wird der Mod von anderen als Leecher erkannt??

[Hoermaenn]

Ich glaub das sind die MLdonkey, weil du mehr als 1000 leute in deine queue lässt.

[elchoupa]

Soeben ein kleiner schlechter Vermerk... ich mag zu sehr die Funktion " Community Mimic "
Ich bin im Geist, aber überhaupt in der Methode einverstanden
