Remove dead Server after [n] retries
When a server does not correctly response to a status query it is counted as a failed attempt. After [n] failed attempts the server is deleted from the list on next query.

Auto-update serverlist at startup
In the directory you unzipped eMule to, you’ll find the file adresses.dat. This file can be edited by pressing the -button. Enter a vild URL to a server.met and safe the file. If this option is checked eMule will update its server list from the URL provided in the adresses.dat at start up. The file will accept multiple addresses but only the first valid address will be used.

Note:
You can set your default editor in the preferences.ini. Search for TxtEditor= and provide the full path to your new editor.

Update serverlist when connecting to a server
eDonkey servers know of each other to a certain extent. With this options eMule will retrieve the list of known servers from the server it is connected to.

Update serverlist when a client connects
This feature works upon the connection of another eMule client to your client. Both clients will compare their working servers and update their lists accordingly.

Use priority system
In the context menu of the server list, each server can be assigned a priority.

The priority will tell eMule which servers to prefer when connecting.

Use smart low ID check on connect
If you once had a high ID this function assumes that you have configured everything correctly and so disconnects eMule if a server gives a low ID without reason. If you receive 3 low IDs in a row you will get classified as low ID user until you get a high ID again.

Safe connect
eMule asks two servers simultaneously for connection to speed up the process. When Safe connect is on, only one server will be asked to minimize the chance for low ID. Usually not need. Note that eMule still keeps connection to one server only.

Autoconnect to static servers only
In the context menu in the server list allows to add servers to the staticservers.dat in the eMule installation folder. This list will be automatically loaded on eMule start up. Only add servers with static IP or servers that use the DynDNS feature to this list! This option tells eMule to connect only to servers from this list. Having this option checked but not providing valid static servers will result in eMule not connecting!

Set manually added servers to high priority
This option will tell eMule to give each server a high priority that is not added via a server list.

Applies to version: .29b +
