I have problem with emule software and I don't succeed to use the emule software
When I open the emule I receive this notice: "Failed to create Incoming Files directory "C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\eMule\Incoming" - Access is denied"
I have only one button that wrote OK so I push it and I receive this notice:"Failed to create Incoming Files directory "C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\eMule\Incoming" - The system cannot find the file specified."
Also here I have only one button that wrote OK so I push it and I receive this notice: "Failed to create Temporary Files directory "C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\eMule\Temp" - Access is denied."
Again I have only one button that wrote OK so I push it and I receive this notice: "Failed to create Temporary Files directory "C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\eMule\Temp" - The system cannot find the file specified"
Again I have only one button that wrote OK so I push it and the emule software is open
I add approximate 150 servers to the emule software but the emule don't succeed to connect to any of the servers and after emule try to connect to the server he wrote that the server is died and pass to try to connect to other server and after this write that also this server is died and so on until all the servers are died
Also when I touch the minus button to put emule in the bar that is in down of the screen so the emule is close and I can't enter again to emule only if I restart the computer so I can enter again to emule and all this happen again
How I can fix it that emule software will work fine?

all the emule servers that I download and try to connect to them write me that they are deads
How Can I connect to one of the emule servers?

[Zangune]

In eMule Options - Server, untick first 3 options and the number six: Auto-update server list at startup, Update server list when connecting to a server, Update server list when a client connects and Autoconnect to servers in static list only.
In 'Servers' right click on a server, choose 'Remove all', click in the space under 'Update server.met from URL' and press Ctrl and Del, then paste one of the following:

http://gruk.org/server.met.gz
http://peerates.net/servers.php
http://shortypower.org/server.met
http://upd.emule-security.org/server.met

right click on PEERATES.NET, choose Priority - Low, repeat for PeerBooter, click Disconnect and then Connect.

Hello there,

I made all the adjustments indicated in the previous post, and today is the third day that I am not able to establish any kind of connection, neither to eD2K nor KAD servers. Is it normal to wait this long for connection to be established?

Thank you.

P.S. I'm receiving the notification that all servers are constantly full.

Hi, no, this is not normal.
How many servers do you have? It's better to add some screenshots.

[xilolee]

And how many shared files?

[sosojazz]

Ok, well, here it is. These are the servers I got after putting this link http://peerates.net/servers.php into the 'Update server.met from URL' section, according to the instructions above:



and these are some of the settings:





I think I followed the instructions. By the way, I used to work with e-mule a lot a couple of years ago and never had any problems whatsoever. To set-up the program was a "next-next-next-finish" kinda thing. But now, I really don't understand all this complex demands...

1) Did you download emule from sourceforge.net?
2) What firewall and antivirus are you using?
3) Did you setup your router (port forwarding)?

If the answers are 1) yes, 2) WinFirewall/MS essentials and 3) no, disconnect emule, tick "use upnp to setup ports" (option connections), go to servers tab, check if you can read in the LOG "UPnP successfully set up forwardings for port xxx and yyy": if yes --> connect emule, and keep us updated.

Hi. I'm in a similar situation, needing help. I have used emule regularly over the years and have not had major problems. I recently had malware on my desktop and in fixing that I had to uninstall emule. Now I've downloaded from sourceforge, am using Windows Firewall and Defender as my only protection, and have my ports correctly configured. (I set them up using UPnP and emule says they are good but when I try to verify them the emule site times out repeatedly.) When trying to connect to the new list of servers (downloaded from Gruk.org) each attempt gives me the reply that the server seems dead.

I really need to get emaul properly configured and working so hope I will get help soon. I'll post this as anew thread too, if that will help.

[Zangune]

Yes, new problem new thread.
Anyway check your firewall, sometimes malwares mess up firewalls.

You can do a simple try: disable the firewall, disconnect/reconnect emule.
If the problem will disappear, enable the firewall and set it better.
If this won't work, please open a new topic.

If you don't know how to set the firewall, try to launch these commands from an elevated command prompt (if you don't know what it is, click here):

If you have got emule in c:\program files (x86)\emule\emule.exe

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule profile=any dir=in action=allow name=emuletcp protocol=tcp program="%programfiles(x86)%\emule\emule.exe"
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule profile=any dir=in action=allow name=emuleudp protocol=udp program="%programfiles(x86)%\emule\emule.exe"


If you have got emule in c:\program files\emule\emule.exe

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule profile=any dir=in action=allow name=emuletcp protocol=tcp program="%programfiles%\emule\emule.exe"
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule profile=any dir=in action=allow name=emuleudp protocol=udp program="%programfiles%\emule\emule.exe"


If you have got emule in another path

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule profile=any dir=in action=allow name=emuletcp protocol=tcp program="PUT-YOUR-EMULE-FULL-PATH-HERE"
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule profile=any dir=in action=allow name=emuleudp protocol=udp program="PUT-YOUR-EMULE-FULL-PATH-HERE"

If you solve your problem in this way, please tell us.
The rules could be changed in a better way, obviously (examples: only public profile, only private profile, just the exact LOCAL port, and so forth).

Disabled Windows Firewall and checked it's settings. Either way emule still doesn't connect to any server. I'll post a new thread.
