eMule set up

The couple points I always have to look up that is :

Server lists and IP filter (from here) :

Options > Security

• Select Filter servers too
  
• In Update from URL, type (maybe outdated - I took it from here) : http://upd.emule-security.org/ipfilter_v149b.zip http://upd.emule-security.org/ipfilter.zip (check out the site - this list is updated frequently and the version is not in the Url anymore - so from time to time just click Load to update it)
  
• Click on Load.

Options > Server

• Set Remove dead servers after __ retries to 9
  
• Click the List... button
  
• In Notepad, that is opened, write this line and remove all others if any : http://www.peerates.net/servers.php
  
• Save changes in notepad
  
• Untick the options Update server list when connecting to a server/client
  
• Click on Apply

Servers window :

• Remove all servers from static list
  
• Remove all servers from list
  
• In Update Server.met from URL, type the same URL you did before (http://www.peerates.net/servers.php)
• Click on Update
  
• If you have selected Autoconnect only to servers on static list add the servers you want to static list
  
• Click Connect

Misc :

Options > Extended : tick Show more controls

Options > Files :

• Video player > Command :  C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe
• Untick Create backup to preview

Does not seem to need a special plugin anymore (?)

Options > Connection : tick Autoconnect on startup

Of course you 'll need to forward the ports
