Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ Store sources between sessions

I don't know if this counts as more stored sources "customization", but here goes.

I have Windows 2000. I try to spend most of my time logged in as a non-administrative user, to avoid accidentally messing up the system or exposing my secret files to passers-by. But occasionally I do have to log out and log back in as Administrator, in order to install software, run abcAVI, etc. And that means closing all programs, including eMule+.

Although this only involves quitting eMule+ for a few minutes, restarting seems to lose many of my sources. In particular, a file will often have only one or two complete sources, who take several days to reappear each time I restart eMule+.

So could eMule+ store all sources? I read some other forum where the poster was against this idea, because he has a dynamic IP that may change while I'm disconnected, and because he doesn't want a barrage of obsolete connection attempts. But it's such a pity to lose several days' worth of accumulated sources just because I had to quit eMule+ for a few minutes.

What do You think save/load sources in the advanced settings is for ?

sources are stored on a regular basis depending on what time option you gave it in preferences. After a time has passed it will reload these sources and if they are still around they will be connected to. So im sure that the 1-2 complete sources will be reloaded back again.

Besides it doesnt take days to find sources.

AFAIK theres a switch user option instead of logout. This might be better for you, as you dont need to turn emule off. And you can access emule through the webserver pages.

AFAIK one of the eMule MODs ( zz-ul IIRC) soon may have such optional feature -- "Quick Reboot" or something like that is the name for it.

Yeah, I agree that this feature will be very usefull for many people -- almost for everybody. It can allow you to reboot your PC (if it become very slow or because of re-/un-/installing software/patches/drivers) without losing many sources on both DL & UL queues.

If this feature will be implemented (I hope it will be soon) -- I'm sure that it'll be optional (dynamic IP, etc etc) .

I vote "Yes" for this feature to be implemented -- hopefully soon .


In your case (logging as normal user and then relogging as Admin) -- try firedeamon (I hope this is correct name of that programm ) -- it can run virtually any programm as NT service -- it definitely works with eMule (try to search on this forum for more info).

He (She?) has \/\/indows 2000 , not XP one -- Win2K doesn't support multiuser shell/login.

True -- but for the reasons described by him it is not good enough. If you need only to reboot PC or to do something else for very short period of time ~10mins or less (and eMule needs to be OFF) -- all those existing Save/Load sources features are not good enough. That's why this feature request has right for "independent life".

Oh thx, I forgot about the load/save sources feature.

I'm a 'he'--if I were a 'she', I'd be Smitemeistress lol.
