Although you have reinstalled it as before and ensured that the ports and settings are correct, it still fails to connect for downloading and sharing files. To troubleshoot this issue, you can try the following steps:

Check your firewall settings: Make sure that eMule is allowed through the Windows Firewall or any other security software you might have installed. Sometimes, a firewall can block eMule's connections.

Verify port forwarding: Ensure that the ports used by eMule are correctly forwarded in your router's settings. Refer to eMule's documentation or online resources for the specific port numbers and instructions on how to set them up.

Update server list: Although you mentioned adding current servers manually, it's possible that the server list you used is outdated. Try updating the server list within eMule to ensure you have access to active servers.

Check your internet connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable and working properly. If you have any other devices connected to the same network, check if they can access the internet without any issues.

Temporarily disable antivirus software: Some antivirus programs may interfere with eMule's connections. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and check if eMule can connect. If it does, you may need to configure your antivirus settings to allow eMule or add it to the exclusion list.

Reinstall eMule: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can try uninstalling eMule completely and then reinstalling it from scratch. Make sure to download the latest version available from a reliable source.

If the problem persists after following these steps, you might consider seeking further assistance from eMule support forums or online communities dedicated to file-sharing software.
