Hello all. I recently added some ed2k links (four related files) from an old Sharereactor archive into eMule. Three of the files downloaded fine, but the last one just doesn't seem to have sources. Is it unusual for one file in a series to fall off the radar? I've tried swapping servers but haven't had any luck.

Hello, do you have green arrows in your eMule? Posted Image
How many servers do you have?
Apart from these, you just have to wait and yes, the file can be orphan so it can be possible you cannot download it at all.

Yes the arrows I can see are green.
As for servers I've been connecting to eMule Security 1-4 and TV Underground (although some of those weren't working yesterday). Should I try connecting to some others?

Fix your servers list and options anyway.

In eMule Options - Server, be sure options number 4,5 and 7 are checked, remove all other checkmarks.
So options that have to be checked are only: Use smart LowID check on connect, Safe Connect and Use priority system.
In Servers click on a server and use Ctrl and A to select all servers, choose, if possibile, Remove From Static List, rightclick on a server and choose Remove All Servers.
In Update server.met from URL paste one of the following (or all if you like):

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

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

Related files could have got the same sources.
Turn on/enable/tick download list double-click to expand in options display (if it isn't already ticked) and click ok, and tick show more controls in options extended, then double-click the file without sources and check if there are sources where it is written asked for another file (under the status column).

Well I've definitely gotten further than I thought I would - only 6MB to go out of 700. I've seen the last chunk available and I've been in his/her queue, but I seem to get pushed back, even after messaging the source, sharing files, staying online for days and uploading many GBs. No other tips? Or is patience the only recourse from here...

Probably it is...
Sharing files doesn't push your emule in the other emule client queue.

Keep eMule running and forget about the file for a while.

Guess that's all I can do. Another question - underneath the file I'm trying to finish are three grey sources with no needed parts. Is there a reason they're still showing up even though they're not useful to me? Strange thing is they seem to be missing chunks that I have, so I'm not sure why haven't gotten them from me.

Sources with no needed parts might get some parts later and become useful.
I do not know how your and other sources' eMules are configured. For example, low ID peers have limited connectivity.
