Recently I began to get a low ID on eD2K. I think the problem is with either filter which in my case is http://emulepawcio.s...et/ipfilter.zip or with server.met, which is http://www.peerates.net/servers.php since I get too much servers on the servers list. I browsed all the guides at this forum but did not find anything up to date on this matter. Please help me!

if you use ipfilters, you should know that they contain several ips of fake servers (in the opinion of who deals of the ipfilter) and you should also tick "filter servers too" in options security to eliminate them.

if you don't tick that option, you should know that if you try to connect to one of those servers (whose ip is in the block list/ipfilter), you will have a low id on that server.

And if you find that you are ending up with more servers than you should, go to options-->server and make sure that the top 3 boxes are unchecked.

Yes, the option was ticked, but still I have 30 servers on the list of servers

Doesn't help, updatig manually from the peerates still gave me the same 30 servers

@lyonya

probably either you have modified the filter level (usually is 127) or you are not using the emulepawcio ipfilter.

I did neither of it. The filter level is 127 and emulepawcio is the same as suggested in the guide I found in this forum. May be the problem is that the guide was posted 4 years ago and this filter got outdated, no idea.

I know that it's too many servers and I did exactly what the guide said. The problem is that the guide is written four years ago, may be in the meantime the settings were changed or something...

right the guide is a bit old ! but the server list is current of course !1

Well... The guide is not even a year old, yet!

To get a reliable server list free of fake ones, you can follow these steps

• Go to Options/Security
  
• Select Filter servers too
  
• In Update from URL, type:
  

  http://emulepawcio.sourceforge.net/ipfilter.zip

  
  
• Click on Load.
  
• Go to Options/Server
  
• Set number of errors allowed before removing the server to 9
  
• Click List button that appears next to the option Auto update
  
• In Notepad, that is opened, write this line and remove all others if exists:
  http://www.peerates.net/servers.php
  
• Save changes in notepad
  
• Untick the options to update list of servers when connecting to new server and new client
  
• Click on Accept
  
• Go to servers window
  
• Remove all servers from static list
  
• Remove all servers from list
  
• In Update Server.met from URL, type the same URL you did in point #8
  
• Click on Update button
  
• If you have selected Autoconnect only to servers on static list add the servers you want to static list
  
• Double click on any server

If you are getting the list by first time, not having servers in your list, you can, obviously, avoid step #13 and 14.

If you don't want emule to reload list at startup, you can also avoid steps #7 to 9, but not harm in doing them anyway.

From time to time, when the file is updated, you should have to load ipfilter, steps #3 and 4. And every time you want you can also clean and reload server list steps #13 to 16

Cheers

OK, thanks, typing the suggested filter indeed solved the problem-I have now only 4 servers
