option To Filter servers According to Country. Also option To Filter servers According to the number of files that the server has(If the number of files is below the specified number then the server will be filtered) And that this option will not include the filtering of Static servers. all filtering options are made without ipfilter

aMule has a cute little flag posted next to all the sources. That is nice. Would be something for eMule too.

In other programs and web utilities I have seen filtering not only on country but also on region. For instance on a site I saw people block anyone in a 50 km radius. I am pretty sure the 50 km radius is not to be taken literally here, but IP-ranges used in the region can help to filter.
For some cases I would like to look only in my own region, for others I would like to look only outside my own region. So a filtering of sources like that would be helpful on a per file basis for both ed2k and kad. It should be possible to both restrict to certain regions and to exclude certain regions.

A region restriction would also be handy in the search options. Restricting a search to Germany only for instance would increase the chances of finding that 1 German version of the file, and lower the chances of having to waste resources on a partial download of the Swahili version.
Idk how the search algorithm works, but for practicality it may be useful to be able to preset regions that I want to use as a search restriction some time in the future.

Good servers are to few to give a sense to these features.

That's another feature request, for something similar click here

My opinion is this feature is not really useful, but it's open to debate.

There are more than 200 servers on my server list. I don't want to filter good servers I only Want to filter Unnecessary servers. There is logic to my suggestion People with Too many servers Could be able to Automatically filter Unnecessary servers by selecting this options

Than I'll suggest you dump them all and get a clean server list from peerates.net or gurk. Also disable updating server list when connecting to a server or client.

why not by auto filtering??? I want to choose Myself What Servers to Filter(I don't want to update from peerates.net or http://gruk.org/list)

[Zangune]

If a server is not a good server then is a bad server, that means this server sends spam, spies, do not indexes files etc... In short the server should be dangerous or at least useless.
We are pretty sure few good servers could not be listed by gruk or peerates.
200 servers? Click here Italian thread, but this and the next 3 posts are bilingual, so you should understand.

Servers: Don't we have a system of classification on a server priority: high, medium, low? Cannot this be used to classify your server list?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you only connect to one server at a time - the rest of the list is irrelevant while that connection remains. The list of good servers is fairly stable and turning off the auto update server list option is possibly wise and can avoid a lot of other unwanted issues.

The ipfilter list can be updated manually. Lists of IP addresses grouped by country exist. Some people automatically merge the following country lists due to previous experience as predominantly sources of spam and malware:
India
Pakistan
Ukraine
Russia
Estonia
Nigeria
Brazil

Be aware there are a lot of ex-patriots and military personnel around the world that hoard material from their homeland and make it available for sharing, so you may be cutting off valuable and rare sources for items you are looking for by being too paranoid with geographically based blocking.

By regularly subscribing to updated block lists and filters, you implicitly trust the people that maintain them to use their good judgement. In the case of sources such as Bluetack, my experience has been that they are right on the ball and not much undesirable escapes them.

Since you get sources(or get results when doing global search) from all servers in your list, the rest of the list is very relevant.

I only want to filter Useless servers. USA servers are junk servers anyway and dead servers are Useless. Advanced Filtering Option will filter unnecessary servers Only When the Option is Selected

[Link64]

Do what I wrote in post #5 and you have filtered all useless servers. Don't see why anybody should need to do that by himself. Server support is deprecated anyway (or should be considered as such pretty soon), I doubt the devs want to spend any time on any improvements there, the development of the server software has been stopped years ago.
