Is there any way to delete and block Fake Emule Servers from the Emule server list? They are really starting to piss me off.

What is a Fake Emule Server ?

They are servers set up by the RIAA and the MPAA in order to catch file sharers.

If you look at your server list you will see duplicates of certain servers. I advise getting an IP blocker like PeerGuardian so you don't accidentally connect to fakes.

It looks like I answered my own question, I deleted all servers on the list, turned off auto-update, and updated the list from here:

http://www.gruk.org/list.php

http://ed2k.2x4u.de/list.html

Apparently these two lists don't have the fakes.

Do you mean the server list in my .cfg?

Great explaination, but I do not understand what you mean by "duplicates"

These "fake" servers will use the same name as a legitmate one in order to try and trap you.

Personally I just use DonkeyServer No 1 - 6, set them in my static list, and turned off auto update server list option.

peer guardian does

i'll elaborate on what peerguardian does, it's a wonderful program
it blocks ip addresses of things like fake emule servers
when something is known to be fake or a trap, it blocks the ip. and it's updated daily, it's very successful too
people update it daily, and it has a system to block shit like that already, so it works pretty good in my opinion

My thoughts on Peer Gaurdian, in my opinion, it's just a placebo.

Just because you think your safe, doesn't mean you are.

You're absolutely right.

no it's not a placebo, it's just not 100 percent effective
it really doesn't matter anyways, because the chance of the government going after you for illegal downloading are so small
it increases at universities, but statistically it's still ridiculously small
if you wanted to be 100 percent effective, you'd have to use proxy servers , and chain them, and have them in different locations, and then change them every couple days
so you should stick with not worrying about it and using peer guardian, it's better than not using it at all

I was just gonna say that, but my ISP received a complaint about me from an anti-piracy organization, about a single file though.

The government isn't gonna go after you, the Business Software Alliance or Metallica might.

I agree though, it is better than nothing.

As long as you understand it's not 100% effective, there is nothing stopping these corporations from using other ISP's other than the ones they normally go through.

the people monitoring usage, and going after lawbreakers, can change there ip addresses, and they do often
that's what peer guardian does, it updates the list as often as possible, to block as many possible
if anyone is downloading anything illegal, that would be a wise piece of software to use

if you wanted to be totally safe, you would have to chain proxies, and do it often
there wouldn't be enough audit trail to catch you, and they couldn't trace the connection fast enough in real time

i said the chance is very small someone goes after you, but it all depends on what you doing
wired printed a nice article, for using a program like kazzaa, it was like 1 in a 1000 you would get in trouble
but it increased at a university

ĄƦçɧąɳɠҾԼ · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2006, 01:28:42 PM »

If anyone is using Kazaa they deserve to be caught

reaper · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2006, 01:08:48 PM »

whats the good p2p programs now. last i was using it, it seemed kazaa had the most stuff.
but i didnt' know where kazaa lite was, so i install kazaa then uninstall it
i use that sometimes, because i can't find things on bit torrent
i just get random movies from newsgroup
i wish this stuff worked as good as itunes : (
