To automatically update your eMule server list, you need to configure the addresses.dat file with a valid server list URL

Update strategies

  1. Periodic polling
    • Tip: You can add multiple URLs by separating them with a semicolon ; or by adding them one after another.

    ✅ Best Practices

    1. Use only trusted sources (eMule-security, Peerates, Srv1000).
    2. Enable eMule's server filtering: Options → Security → Filter servers from server.met.
    3. Manually inspect after first auto-update: Right-click a server → View files – if it shows illicit content, remove that source URL.
    4. Keep eMule updated (latest official or MorphXT build).
    • Use a small parser (Python with bencode or regex for ed2k links) to extract IP:PORT.

    Step 1: Accessing the Options

    1. Open eMule.
    2. Click on the Options icon (the wrench and screwdriver) in the top toolbar.
    3. Navigate to the Server tab on the left-hand side.

    To keep your eMule server list automatically up-to-date, follow these steps to configure the software to fetch a fresh list every time it starts. 1. Enable Auto-Update at Startup

    • Enter 48 (hours) for a balanced approach.
    • Enter 24 if you are downloading rare content aggressively.
  2. Convert or normalize:
