How to connect to
Kademlia?
eMule automatically tries to enter the Kademlia network booting
from any compatible client it finds. If it cannot connect simply
chose Bootstrap -> From known clients in the Kademlia
main windows then connect to a server and start a download.
Kademlia will connect shortly afterwards.

Where to get a server
list ?
http://ed2k.has.it– Just click on Add to
eMule.

Which server is the best /
the fastest?
There is no fastest or best server. They are used to connect to the
network and to search for files and sources. eMule asks every
server on its list and using Global Search all of them are asked
for search results.
Also eMule exchanges sources with other eMule clients and thus
finds sources a lot faster this way.

How often do I have to update the
server list?
During sessions or if you use eMule regularly there is no need to
update the server list as eMule's default settings (Options
-> Servers -> Update serverlist when connecting to a
server and -> Update serverlist when a client
connects) will ensure that it stays updated.

Why does eMule not
connect ?
It may take a while until eMule is connected as servers may be down
or not responding. If eMule will not connect at all make sure that
you have a recent server list and check if any software like
firewalls, routers, dial in software is blocking eMule's traffic.
You can easily check this using the Port Tester functionality found
in Options -> Connection -> Clientport -> Test
Ports.
You may also check Options -> Server -> Autoconnect to
static servers only. If it is checked and you do not provide a
staticservers.dat with valid servers eMule will not
connect.

Why do I get a low
ID?
eMule will only work fully if the ports you have defined in the
Options -> Connection screen are reachable from outside
your computer. By default these are:
- 4662 TCP (Server connection)
- 4672 UDP (Kademlia)
- 4711 TCP (Webinterface)
There are several possible causes for these to be blocked:
• Firewalls - also the built in of Windows XP. (WinXP SP2
enables it by default!)
• Routers
• Dail-In software of some ISPs
• Connection sharing software / Software routers
• Networks with any form of NATed connection
• Ports blocks by the Internet Service Provider
Check your used software and hardware for any firewall or routing
functions and configure it properly to allow incoming connections
to the mentioned ports. You can also instruct eMule to use
non-default ports, such as 6666, 80 or 20, which are normally used
for other applications and are therefor likely to be allowed
through.
More information in the chapters on Firewalls
and Routers.

eMule always disconnects from
the server
There are some reasons why eMule could disconnect from a
server:
• Too many files in the downloads list (only eMule prior
v.30a)
• Too many shared files (only eMule prior v.29a)
• Server problem
• general network problem
eMule usually reconnects on loss of the server connection. This is
no critical event.
