Downloading from eMule 0.50a broken again?

Postby blackflag100 » 20 Feb 2011 08:18

Installed 2.5.4.0 and it seems to once again have a problem with downloads from eMule 0.50a sources, but only for files under 1MB. Larger ones will download merrily from eMule 0.50a sources. Smaller ones will repeatedly show tiny throughputs (in the tens of bps and lower) while not actually making any progress (not even one byte).

This isn't the same bug as before, which stopped it downloading the last 5% or so of files from the same type of client. This one is all or nothing: either the file is large enough and it can download all of it, or it's smaller than the threshold and it cannot download any of it from eMule 0.50a sources.

I've just checked and found two small (under 1MB) files showing the same difficulty downloading from two different sources; the only thing the sources have in common is that they are both eMule 0.50a. The files have nothing much in common at all; though both are within the under-1MB range their file sizes are quite different and they are of different names and types.

blackflag, eD2k (I mean the network in total, not only Shareaza) performs crappy for small files anyway, so why bother... just disable eD2k within your search when searching for small files, that should solve the problem...

However, I have no idea why this bug happens within Shareaza, I only know it is happening.

I suppose you already have the ED2K.endgame disabled? Because these could be the same bug really. Shareaza doing something incompatible when the amount of data to be downloaded is small enough to trigger *something*. The odd thing is that I haven't really noticed this myself despite 0.50a being pretty common... But of course I rarely use ED2K to get small files...

What really bugs me is why I am not seeing these problems. I really should, since I use ED2K all the time and most sources are 0.50a and most files have few enough sources that having weird behaviour should cause a noticeable delay.

I have...
eDonkey.PacketThrottle 250, below default 500
eDonkey.RequestSize 180, above default 90
eDonkey.FrameSize 30, above default 10

None of these should have any effect on this, really.
