How to Update an Emule Servers List

P2P networks like eMule are used to download and share files.

The eMule peer-to-peer (p2p) software allows people to download and share computer files over vast networks of users. The software comes with a default list of servers, which are available for connection. Search results change depending on the server the user is connected to. Updating the default server list may improve the user experience by speeding up downloads and increasing the available sources which make finding files more likely.

Things You'll Need

• eMule p2p software
• Internet connection

Instructions

1. Open the eMule p2p software.

2. Click on "Options" and then "Servers" in the resulting dialogue box.

3. Click the checkboxes next to "Update server list when connecting to a server" and "Update server list when a client connects."

4. Click the "Apply" button, and then the "OK" button located at the bottom of the dialogue box.

5. Exit the program by clicking the red "X", and restart the program by clicking on the program icon on the desktop, or in the "Start" menu.

6. Select "servers" from the navigation menu. Select one of the servers from the list in the new window. Click the "connect" button located to the right of the server list.

Tips & Warnings

• The "Update server list when connecting to a server" option makes the program synchronize its list of servers with the list of servers found on the remote system. The "Update server list when a client connects" option does the same thing, but occurs when a remote server connects to the local computer.
