I do not know if this is a bug or not but after updating my v1j version of Emuleplus to v1k i get an abnormal amount of band users in my logs.

Especialy the following ban text:
"seems to be an aggressive client and is banned from the uploadqueue (hash stealer)"

I have seen jusers band by my emule before, but the amount of users beeing band by me is nor very large.. Is this a bug???


My system details:

P3 933, Win2000 Pro, SP1 and SP2 installed, Zonealarm firwall, Norton antivirus 2003 running.

This system is only runnig Emule noting else...

What client? LH clients are banned now.

Seems to be a lot of LH (lh.2y.net]) cliens alright.. Good to know that these are band now, but it is realy killing my logs.. I get clients baned like every 2 to 4 sec.

Also my donloads ar right down the tubes after upgarding to v1k, are the excessive client banning and the poor download related? Or dit i just do something sutpid when upgarding to v1k?

I used v1h, v1i and v1J without many problems and although I did experianced more banning with v1j also, it has never been this excessive.

you might wanna stick with 1j. 1k might be banning a lot of LH users who upload quite a bit to you.

no no, reanimated u can still download from banned clients! but they wont get an uploadslot from us.

ahhh yeah yeah......doh....
lol.

forgot about the banning system.

I have the Countermeasures enabled, and have the sending messages disabled.

I will try disabling the caoutermeasures, but are they not there for a reason?

As it is I am already uploading more than I download, I do not want to serve the leachers to, right? (If you donload you must upload, is what I think)

By the way my downloads are still terbly slow even with enough sources available.....

what DonGata sais is that you can disable the log for countermeasures not to disable countermeasures

Ok.. I have the "do not log countermeasures" item enabled now also.

Will wait and see

Well I have the log counter measures off for quite some time now and I still having problems. The only thing that realy helped me was turning down te upload speed. (The speed settings I had worked fine with v1J).

Also I seem to get banned from a great lot of servers now quite often too.

So anyone of you guys have any more ideas for me to try?

Thanks

aggressive client request from us frequently not observing the limit of 3 times in less than 9 minutes. A bad network connection or a wrongly configured/coded client can do this also.

hash stealer sends to us different hashes from the same IP in the same session. He is most probably an impersonator trying to get a better position in our queue.

The only "dispute" (and I wouldn't dare to say that) is the LH issue. Those clients weren't following the GPL and as no source code was released and their behavior didn't seem to be fair they can also be called leechers.

Yes, forgot to add the port thing.
