ever since i got my wireless network setup and used emule over its taking ages to download films, and they always keep coming up that the part is corrupted, at the moment i have a file that is 700 megs and ive tranferred 600, but only got 180megs, and has lost 70% to corruption, has anyone else hadd problems with emule since going wireless, and any ways to help?
With Emule if you have a corrupt chunk it should automaticly re-dll that for a good one...always has for me and going wireless should not make a difference.
from wat i've heard...some of the corrupted parts u get might come from the bad ips. these bad ips i talked about consist of RIAA, MPAA and etc.
at the moment, i'm still trying to find a good way to block them out since all my downloads keep getting corrupted over and over again.

in emule
Preferences > Security. where it says I.P Filter, Update from URL
paste this address in the box and press the Load button
This will give you a good IP blocking list.Code:http://bluetack.co.uk/config/antip2p.txt
i'm using the version from edskes site, which has i.p filters already in it,
the thing is it never seems to get a good chunk,
is this happening with just one particular file, or everything you try to download?
I get bad chunks sometimes, (like recently with s1ep1 of Twin Peaks) and they take forever to d/l, but that's just something that happens on occasion, and I think it has something to do with the file itself.
anyway, it just happens sometimes, but if it seems to be like...all the time, then I'd try a different client. I don't know what's on the edskes site, but I'd just get one from emule-project.net or go get one of the modded versions from their forum.
Are you using the Sygate firewall?
Some versions of it cause corruption troubles with eMule.
nope, no firewall software, or anti-virus running, infatc the only thing running is emule.
since going wireless this is the only thing ive tried to donwload, so far ive transferred 740mb of a 700mb file, and only go 200megs worth of it complete.
i'll try a few other things.
eMule > preferences > connection
disable UDP
That might help. TCP protocol has error correction, I am not sure if UDP has too.
right, disabled udp, changed the tcp port, and not using the kad network now, i'll see if that helps, if not i'll just have to try it using one of the wired points on the router, and just plug it in there when using emule.
tried it on another ocmputer and it works fine and got another file downloading and seems to be fine too, might just be th film, along came polly.
In the future, you could probably save yourself some time and hassle by searching for your hashes at one of the verified sites (there is a pinned list) instead of using the search within the client. Although the ed2k net has one of the lowest rates of corrupt or fake files, you are much more likely to find them if you just do a random search.Quote:

Also, make sure you report such files as corrupt or fake when you encounter them. This is what keeps the network clean. B)
im not sure that the whole file is corrupt, i think it may be a few clients spreading corrutp ones or something coz what i have is proper.
