"update on server should be set to false by default"
I prefer to have it true by default so users don´t complain about
empty serverlists. And to have it enabled when there are less
than x servers makes no sense as I want to have a purely static
server list with both options set to false.

UDP callbacks are already removed from the code, see

"this fixes the problem with Lugdunum servers"

in donkeyClient.ml

Only connected servers are asked for a callback.

I updated the patch so only if !!update_server_list_client = true
not connected servers are now added+connected.

I also removed some commented code and removed lots of whitespaces.

Patch-report:

*Running really nice
*update on server should be set to false by default (or to true only if there are less than 20 servers in list)




NB: I may have more "firewalled" clients in uploaders than "direct" ones.
Rather, I'm sure. Are there any stats discriminating Low/HighID clients in mldonkey ?

the hydranode ed2k documnetation seems to cover most of the information about how stuff works http://hydranode.com/docs/ed2k/ed2kproto.php

I don´t know if my code interpretation is right, nor did I do
anything about Lugdunums request because MLDonkey does not have
a well working handling of firewalled clients anyway.

One word about firewalled clients.

I thought there was UDP callbacks.
I can remember that one day, on the forum, lugdunum asked for the UDP callbacks to be removed.

First patch version attached, I don´t have much time to debug
currently, so please test it and tell me if some checks are
still missing.

Currently I am working on this but I found some code where I don´t know what to do:
------------------------------------------------
donkeyClient.ml

  DonkeySources.functions.DonkeySources.function_connect <-
    (fun s_uid ->
      try
        match s_uid with
          Direct_address _ ->
            let c = new_client s_uid in
            reconnect_client c
        | Invalid_address _ -> ()
        | Indirect_address (ip, port, id) ->

       if low_id ip && ip_reachable ip then
              query_id ip port id;
------------------------------------------------
This code is called when we are connected by a client.
If the client is firewalled (low_id ip true) we have to make
contact with this client (id) through its server (ip, port).

query_id called is also in donkeyClient.ml
------------------------------------------------
let query_id ip port id =
  let client_ip = client_ip None in

  if ip_reachable client_ip then
    let module Q = DonkeyProtoUdp.QueryCallUdp in
(    lprintf "Ask connection from indirect client\n"; )

    let s = check_add_server ip port in
------------------------------------------------
which calles check_add_server, there is a check for "if !!update_server_list"
which, if set to false, breaks the connection between MLDonkey
and that client because the server never receives our "callback"
to the firewalled client.

So currently we can only connect to firewalled clients if they
are on the same server than we.

My plan for implementing the requested feature is to move the
"if !!update_server_list_***" statements into the code where
check_add_server and safe_add_server are called and remove the
checks from the mentioned functions completely.

Example:
------------------------------------------------
Some (ip, port) ->  if !!update_server_list_client then safe_add_server ip port
------------------------------------------------

But what to do with the firewalled clients which are on other servers?

Hi,

At this moment, when update_server_list is set to true, mldonkey will update :
1) ed2k servers when connecting to servers and to clients
2) Ov and Kad nodes (as it searches for sources ?)


I want my ed2k server list to remain clean.
The problem is that servers received when connecting to servers and clients are mainly shit (buggy, dynIP, not a server, RIAA).

So, I have set (as many people) ED2K-update_server_list = false


But this creates another problem : overnet nodes and eMule Kademlia nodes are not updated.

Demonstration:
Last week, I had no kad nodes. Bootstrapped kept on failing until I switched the update to true. Within a few seconds I had plenty of nodes (it means they were stored on my computer in kad_boots).




Would it be possible to have (at least) 4 different options ?
For example, ED2K-update_server_list_onserver, ED2K-update_server_list_onclient, OV-update_nodes, KAD-update_nodes


This should greatly improve ov and kad performance and/or efficiency.


Thanks.
