Banned from servers?

[blendax]

When i tried to connect to my favorite server, it told me that I was banned because of the behaviour of my client. I used eMule 0.29b when I was banned. Anyone knows if you can tweak something so I don´t get banned on other servers as well ? ( I think the server complained that my client tried to connect to much?)

maybe you set it to make too many requests. Emule rerequests files every 10 minutes to verify the source is still good. If you make it do this more often you will get banned by individual clients. This applies to individual clients you are sharing with and I am not sure how servers are configured. Also do you have a fake ID? Borrow someone's credit file!? Or maybe someone did this to you and they are ok but you get bumped off....when your client detects 2 different clients with the same ID one gets blocked, I assume the servers do something similar but I don't know.
eMule .29b and .29c should be secure as far as your identity goes.

Here are some of the rules certain servers use. Also occasionally they just make a mistake and ban you.

Every IP has a credit of 1200
- Every query sent to the server consumes certain number of credits.
At least 1 credit for every frame + a variable amount
- A demand of connection consumes 100 credits
- A demand of sources for a file in download costs 16 credits
- If the counter of credit reaches 0, you're blacklisted during a variable duration according to the servers, from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
If during this time of blacklist, your client continues to assail the server, the server prolongs the time of blacklist all the more
- The counter of credit grows of one unity every second
- If you download too many files (+ 50) your credit will be near 0, because 50*17 = 850 + The credit for your connection ( 100 ) = 950
- If you share many files, your client emule / edonkey is going to send to the server many frames. Cost : 1 credit by frame (approximately 1400 bytes per frame). If you publish too many files and download too much files, the chance is thus very high that you are blacklisted.
- For a normal use of edonkey, (no more than 1000 shared files, and less than 50 current downloads), you should not be blacklisted.
- If it happens to you, do not insist, change to another server for a few hours.
- If it happens too often, use a less aggressive client for the servers.

All Lugdunum-like servers (the biggest in fact) now use this rule.
