Disconnecting from server shortly after connecting
Many server limit the amount of shared files. If the set amount is reach the client automatically gets disconnected. eMule shows the number of shared files in its statistics page. Usually less than 500 shares will cause no troubles and makes sure that all files are accepted.
From eMule v.28 on the number of accepted files are shown in the server list. The Soft Limit value is the number of shares a server publishes, all excess files are ignored. When the Hard Limit is reach the server disconnects the client.
To prevent the disconnects eMule v.29 + only publishes the number of files allowed by the server's soft limit.
