It has been brought to my attention in eMule IRC Help that, The ED2K Donkey Servers are no longer functioning as eMule ED2K servers, it is believed that after some legal action, the Servers are no longer indexing files, or performing searches, but will allow connection..so users hooked to these servers will get no results
As it seems some 70% of ED2K users are hooked to these servers, the network is being short circuited, if you know any using these servers tell them to change, and if eMule (or Mod) users tell them to visit the IRC Help to update the IPFILTER, to help filter out FAKE servers. It is said, there are only about 20-25 real servers, any more are Fakes and will give fake results.
Maybe you should try a google search, it will tell you that Donkeyservers are under "legal constraint", and all other servers are under attack, if you don't believe me come and visit #eMule-English IRC help, and I will enlighten further , but this is real .....
Update your IPFILTER and KAD searches are working....
Well I always wanted to know which person on planet used HYPERMULE a mod that ties up your bandwidth my spamming other clients...but I digress..
This is the advice is being handing out in Emule-English IRC Help..
--------------
ATTENTION: the Donkeyservers are gone, probably due to legal issues in Germany see http://www.heise.de/english/newsticker/news/92760. Due to the heavy load of former donkeyservers users, most of the other valid servers are at or near peak load, and timing out frequently. You might not be able to get on a server today. be sure you are connected to KAD, and use KAD method searches. KAD is the future of eMule.
