Please help! I hadn't run eMule in several days, and when I run it now, I can't seem to upload. Every time an upload session starts, I get this in my Verbose log a few seconds later:

Removing client from upload list: CUpDownClient::Disconnected: CClientReqSocket::Disconnect(): Error 10053: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. Client: ...

I've never had this problem before. I now have two upload sessions running successfully, but hundreds keep getting rejected. I have a high ID. My Internet works otherwise, and I tried rebooting. I'm in queues to download.

fport shows eMule listening on its port, and netstat shows several connections to that port. I have ProtoWall running, but it's not blocking anything. I have Semantec Antivirus running, but I've never known it to interfere with eMule.

The only things I can think of that I did that might have affected eMule are my changing to a mod tonight, then reverting emule.exe back when the problem started, to no avail. I've also installed the latest Windows 2000 updates since the last time I ran eMule, plus I've installed that bloated RealPlayer 10.5 Harmony.

Does anybody know why eMule keeps disconnecting upload sessions??

Who is your ISP?
Try activating the options "enable protocol obfuscation" in Options > Security. Then reconnect to a reliable server such as the DonkeyServer 1 ir 2.

Having the same problem. I'm getting 70-75% failed uploads the last few days. I've had obfuscation enabled since one of the Donkey Servers wouldn't let me run a search. I'm not a new user. Been with the mule for a couple of years now. No new programs or hardware installed recently. And I'm not downloading anything, just uploading. Using official client 47c. And have a high ID.

This is what I've done so far:

I un-installed the mule, my firewall (sygate v5.6) and antivirus (AVG Pro v7.5). Deleted all stray folders and files, and reg keys. Rebooted my modem (Crapcast). Ran 2 spyware scans (AdAware and Ewido), nothing. Reinstalled AV and ran scan, nothing. Reinstalled firewall. And finally reinstalled the mule, clean. First tried without obfuscation. Same problem. A lot of disconnects. Then with obfuscation. Same problem. Tried with the firewall on and then with it off. Still no go.

Not sure what to try next.

fgvub, start your own thread. It will just get confusing trying to help 2 people in the same thread.

My ISP is Comcast residential cable, thanks. Enabling protocol obfuscation doesn't seem to change eMule's performance when I set it while already connected to a server, but if I try to connect to DonkeyServer No2 with obfuscation enabled, I get a low ID.

The port test at emule-project.net fails, saying my machine rejected the conection. An online port scanner ("ShieldsUP!!" at www.grc.com) says port 4662 is open, and DonkeyServer No1 just gave me a high ID.

I can run bittorrents just fine using my bittorrent application. Other hosts connect to me.

I ran Ethereal, a packet sniffing application, with obfuscation not enabled. A typical aborted eMule upload session goes like this:

three TCP packets to establish connection
remote host to me: ed2k Hello packet
a Hello answer from me
five packets back and forth with eMule extensions protocol 0xC5, which Ethereal doesn't recognize
remote host: slot request
me: queue ranking = 1
TCP acknowledgement from remote host
me: slot granted
remote host: ed2k "request parts" packet
TCP RST packet from remote host
identical packet from remote host, except different sequence number: the previous segment was lost

And that's it for communications between us. I have the libpcap file, if anyone's interested.

Yup, sure looks like ISP interference to me...

I agree, I saw it (until PO) on the ISP Optimum Online.

Well, that's very disappointing, but that's what I needed to hear.

I've had obfuscation enabled for a while now, and about 10% of all upload sessions are successful, which is better than nothing. (About 55% of all download sessions succeed.)

eMule now says that every single client in my upload queue has a low ID. Strange.

Hello,
I am having the same exact problem.
I am in Ireland, so with a different ISP.
In fact I contacted my ISP and they say that as for contract there's no limit on Upload or download capacity.
It looks to me it doesn't depend from ISP as many people in different countries is having the same problem.
I found some other topics on this in this forum but nobody still has a solution.
Please some genious help!!!

Ciao

That may be true, but that doesn't say whether they are throttling Emule traffic. They might do this for fair usage - either simultaneous connections and/or constant high bandwidth affecting the service for other customers. This is different to data transfer limits. ISP's will often accurately answer questions, so you might have to ask them specifically if they are throttling P2P traffic.

This is also quite possible. There are many settings and this highlights why noone actually ever has the 'exact same problem' So please start a new thread providing details as directed in the sticky. Ta!

Thanks for help, using forums is always something hard to do for new users

As soon i'll get back home I'll get all the details needed and I'll open a new thread
