Marseille (English alternative spelling Marseilles) (pronounced /maʀsɛj/ in standard French, /mɑxˈsɛjɐ/ in local Marseilles accent) (Provençal: Marsiho or Marsilha, both pronounced /maɾˈsijɐ/) is the second largest city in France and the third metropolitan area, with 1,516,340 inhabitants at the 1999 census. Located in the former province of Provence and on the Mediterranean Sea, it is France's largest commercial port and the largest in the Mediterranean.
Marseille is the capital of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur région, as well as the préfecture (capital) of the Bouches-du-Rhône département.
Marseille was founded in 600 B.C.E. by Greeks from Phocaea as a trading port under the name Μασσαλία (Massalia; see also List of traditional Greek place names). It was overrun by Celts and then conquered by the Romans. During the Roman times, it was called Massilia. In 1934 Alexander I of Yugoslavia arrived at the port to meet with the French foreign minister Louis Barthou. He was assassinated there by Vlada Georgieff who hated Alexander's refusal to recognise Croatia as a separate state.
Marseilles' harbor is the biggest of the country, and one of the most important of the Mediterranean Sea.
Marseille is divided into 16 municipal arrondissements, which are themselves divided into quartiers (111 in total). The arrondissements are regrouped in pairs into sectors, and 8 sectors have a council and a town hall, like the arrondissements in Paris and in Lyon.
The municipal elections are carried out by sector. Each sector elects its councillors (303 in total), one third of which are municipal councillors.

The credit is calculated in the following way:. La Lune dans le caniveau (1983). These factors are all expressed in an integer value, and their total gives a "score" which is used to rank the users in the queue. Gomez & Tavarès (2003). A user's position in other clients' queues depends on various factors, including the time they have been waiting in the queue, the upload priority for the requested file, and the user's credit. The French Connection (1971) and its sequel (1975). To view this information, right click on any user and choose View Details. Comme un aimant (2000). The values used can be seen in the client's details dialog. Bye-Bye (1995). The modifiers are calculated from the amount of transferred data between the two clients. Baise-moi (2000). The more a user uploads to a client the faster he advances in this client's queue. 37°2 le matin (1986). The credit system provides a major modifier to this waiting time by taking the upload and download between the two clients into consideration. King Alexander I of Yugoslavia was assassinated on October 9, 1934 in Marseille along with French Foreign Minister Louis Barthou. The strict queue system in eMule is based on the waiting time a user has spent in the queue. French poet Arthur Rimbaud died in Marseille on November 10, 1891. uploading to other clients. Zinedine Zidane (born 1972), soccer player. The credit system is used to reward users contributing to the network, i.e. Jean-Claude Izzo (1945-2000), author. Often features first debuted in a mod later find their way into the official version. Jean Pierre Rampal (1922-2000), flutist. Other mods follow official eMule releases, and make their own releases based on each new release of the official version. Louis Jourdan (born 1919), actor. It does not have Kademlia protocol implemented, but proponents of this mod credit it for a better GUI and an ability to achieve better download speeds than the official version. Eliane Browne-Bartroli (1917-1944), French Resistance, Croix de Guerre. A popular mod of this type is eMule Plus. Fernandel (1903-1971), actor. Some mods started as a fork of a eMule code, and then continued to develop independently of the official version. Vincent Scotto (1876-1952), guitarist, songwriter. As a popular open source program, eMule has many variants, usually called mods. Edmond Rostand (1868-1918), poet and dramatist. This limitation doesn't exist in Kad network, therefore this network is more suitable for users that share big collections of files. "Le Pétomane" (1857-1945), entertainer. Some servers also limit the number of files that can be shared by any particular user. Joseph Pujol, aka. Therefore, it is more resistant to a large-scale network loss. Olivier Émile Ollivier (1825-1913), statesman. Kad network is self-organising and tunes itself for best possible performance depending on the number of users and their connection qualities. Joseph Autran (1813-1877), poet. Servers can only handle a certain amount of users and should a large server go down the network is severely handicapped. Honoré Daumier (1808-1879), caricaturist and painter. The main goal of the Kad network is to be independent of servers and improve scalability. Etienne Joseph Louis Garnier-Pages (1801-1841), politician. Both networks have totally different concepts for achieving the same: Searching for files and finding sources to a file. Adolphe Thiers (1797-1877), first president of the Third Republic. With the release of 0.47a, this limit was raised to 256GB, but only for clients supporting it (currently just eMule and aMule). Désirée Clary (1777-1860), wife of King Carl XIV Johann of Sweden, and therefore Queen Desirée or Queen Desideria of Sweden. This was an inherent limitation of the ed2k protocol. "Dugazon" (1746-1809), actor. eMule versions before 0.47a cannot share files larger than about 4 GB. Jean-Henry Gourgaud, aka. eMule includes a feature that limits download and upload speeds, so that they do not exceed the limits set by the user. Maurice Béjart (born 1927), ballet choreographer. Also, many known "leecher" clients are often banned from the downloading through various means by eMule's mods (banning is not supported in official version). Antonin Artaud (1897-1948), author. Furthermore, attempting to circumvent the uploading feature can possibly slow a user's download, as he will get worse credits from uploaders. The calanques. Although there are many mods of eMule, it is hard to find one that doesn't enforce the second feature, which is a part of official eMule policy. Unité d'Habitation de Marseille, by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. This limitation does not apply if the maximum upload speed is set to 10K per second or more. Château d'If, an ancient prison island, where The Count of Monte Cristo was jailed, in Alexandre Dumas' novel. 2) Users are forced to share their bandwidth, thus increasing network's data stream: The official version of eMule forces the users to set their maximum download speed to no more than four times their maximum upload speed. Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. The recipient is forced to share in this way until the download is complete. The old harbor. 1) Users are forced to share files: Shared files larger than 9500 KB are divided and downloaded in parts, so that a recipient starts to share the parts of the file already downloaded even before the download of the whole file is complete. Watcha Clan. eMule and other programs on eDonkey network support the network in two basic ways:. Massilia Sound System. This is accomplished by a complex calculation of the possible distance to the target client by asking other clients for the shortest route to it. The French rap band IAM is from Marseille. So the goal of any kind of search is to find those clients that have the responsibility for the current search topic. General Councilor: Henri Jibrayel PS. The clients hash determines the specific keywords or sources. 35,752). Each client in the Kad network works as a server for certain keywords or sources. Marseille-Verduron (pop. Since every client is identified by a unique hash value, the idea of Kademlia is to associate a certain “responsibility” based on this hash. 29,668); General Councilor: André Malrait UMP. There are no servers to keep track of clients and the files they share so it has to be done by each participating client in the network – in essence, every client is also a small server. Marseille-Vauban (pop. Be it a search for filenames, for sources of a download or for other users, all work pretty much the same. 25,324); General Councilor: Christophe Masse PS (Representative). In this network it does not matter what you search for. Marseille-Les,Trois,Lucs (pop. Buddies are other Kad clients who have status open and work as a relay for connections, that the firewalled user cannot manage. 40,392); General Councilor: Jeanine Porte PCF. From version v.44a on, the Kad network supports a Buddy for firewalled users. Marseille-Saint-Mauront (pop. If you are not freely contacted, you are given a firewalled status. 29,981); General Councilor: Jean Bonat PS (Municipal councilor of Marseille). If you can be freely contacted, you are assigned an ID (similar to a HighID) and given an open status. Marseille-Saint-Marcel (pop. This process is very similar to the HighID/LowID check on the servers. 26,218); General Councilor: Robert Assante UMP (Adjoint au Maire de Marseille). Once a client is in the network, the client then requests for other clients to determine if it can be contacted freely. Marseille-Saint-Lambert (pop. This is called a Boot Strap. 32,749); General Councilor: Michel Pezet PS (Municipal councilor of Marseille). The only thing needed to connect to this network is the IP and port of any eMule client already connected. Marseille-Saint-Just (pop. (based on Kademlia protocol). 34,621); General Councilor: Martine Vassal UMP (Adjointe au Maire de Marseille). Sources are other clients who have at least downloaded one entire part (9.28 MB) of the file matching the hash. Marseille-Saint-Giniez (pop. The server looks up the file’s hash value in its database and returns the clients it knows for having it. 36,868); General Councilor: Didier Garnier UMP. Once they are in the Download list, eMule first queries the local (connected) server then all other servers in the network for sources to that particular download. Marseille-Sainte-Marguerite (pop. Downloads can be added by eMule’s search function or a special eD2k link format offered on many websites. 37,629); General Councilor: Denis Rossi PS (Municipal councilor of Marseille). mp3 files). Marseille-Saint-Barthélemy (pop. Note that there are fake servers in the network that do not return any results for certain type of searches (e.g. 33,206); General Councilor: Félix Weygand PS. Each server looks up the keyword in its local database and returns any file names (with the hash value) that matches the keyword. Marseille-La,Rose (pop. If the search is a global search (searches all the servers within the network), it will take longer but have more results. 38,701); General Councilor: René Olmeta PS (Municipal councilor of Marseille). If it’s a local search (searches only the server you are connected to), searches are quicker but will have fewer results. Marseille-La,Pomme (pop. A search can either be local or global. 31,116); General Councilor: Richard Miron UMP. Once connected to the network, the client can search for keywords in filenames. Marseille-La,Pointe-Rouge (pop. The server adds the filenames and hash values you sent to its database. 27,052); General Councilor: Marius Masse PS. After the ID is assigned, eMule will send a list of all shared files to the server. Marseille-Les,Olives (pop. If communication is blocked, the server assigns your client a low ID. 33,472); General Councilor: Joël Dutto PCF. If yes, the server assigns your client a so-called high ID. Marseille-Notre-Dame-Limite (pop. When connecting your client to a server, the server checks to see if other clients can freely connect to your client. 31,107); General Councilor: Jocelyn Zeitoun PS. Each client must be connected to a server to enter the network. Marseille-Notre-Dame-du-Mont (pop. The key to this network is the eD2k server. 33,644); General Councilor: Maurice Rey UMP. (eD2k :EDonkey network). Marseille-Montolivet (pop. For already compressed files this is likely to be the raw file, while uncompressed files are likely to result in zlib compressed data to be transmitted. 35,890); General Councilor: Didier Réault UMP. Then it chooses the smaller set of data to transmit. Marseille-Mazargues (pop. Before sending data eMule attempts to compress the data with [zlib] set at maximum compression. 29,060); General Councilor: Jean-Noël Guerini PS (Sénateur, Président du Conseil Général, Municipal councilor of Marseille). If a client already has most of a chunk, however, it may choose to request the rest of that chunk first because only complete chunks can be shared. Marseille-Les,Grands-Carmes (pop. Clients usually request the chunk that fewest other sources have to aid distribution of the file through the network; otherwise rare chunks may generate a bottleneck. 29,846); General Councilor: Marie-Arlette Carlotti PS (Representative européenne). Once a client reaches the top of such a queue, the clients contact each other and transfer begins. Marseille-Les,Cinq-Avenues (pop. Each client maintains a "download queue" of other clients who are requesting files for download. 34,292); General Councilor: Janine Ecochard PS. other clients who are sharing that file), a client contacts each of those sources to request the file. Marseille-La,Capelette (pop. After determining sources for a file (i.e. 27,506); General Councilor: Antoine Rouzaud PS (Municipal councilor of Marseille). This user identification is highly secured by a public / private key handshake to prevent misuse. Marseille-Le,Camas (pop. Like the file hash, each user in the network gets a unique and permanent user hash. 30,168); General Councilor Maurice Di Nocera UDF. A file's hash value is computed by first computing the MD4 checksum of each chunk, and then computing the MD4 checksum of the string of those chunks' checksums concatenated with each other. Marseille-La,Blancarde (pop. Files are broken into "chunks" of 9.28 MB each (the last chunk may be smaller if the file size is not exactly divisible by the chunk size). 27,992); General Councilor: Fortuné Sportiello PS. This allows each user to find all sources to a particular file no matter what file name each user has given the file. Marseille-Belsunce (pop. All files are given a hash value that depends on the file's contents, but not its filename. 25,878); General Councilor: Lisette Narducci PS (Mayor of the 2ème sector de Marseille). It is recommended to change the default ports of eMule to higher numbers (for example 20000 instead of 4662), because recently many ISPs are throttling default P2P ports resulting in slow performance. Marseille-La,Belle-de-Mai (pop. eMule is now considered a stable product, and new versions are not released as often as they used to be - 2 to 3 months is now a typical time interval between releases. 8th sector (15th and 16th arrondissements): Frédéric Dutoit (representative) PCF. The 0.46b version added the creation and management of "collection" files, which contain a set of links to files intended to be downloaded as a set. 7th sector (13th and 14th arrondissements): Garo Hovsepian PS. Other recent additions include: the ability to run eMule from a user account with limited privileges (thus enhancing security), and intelligent corruption handling (so that a corrupted chunk, 9.28 MB in size, does not need to be re-downloaded entirely). 6th sector (11th and 12th arrondissements): Roland Blum (representative) UMP. Some users have complained that it leads to a loss of active sources and subsequently slows download speed. 5th sector (9th and 10th arrondissements): Guy Teissier (representative) UMP. Unavailable IPs are banned for a time period from 15 to 45 minutes. 4th sector (6th and 8th arrondissements): Dominique Tian (representative) UMP. After adding an IP to the "Bad source list", the application treats this IP as a "dead" IP. 3rd sector (4th and 5th arrondissements): Bruno Gilles (representative) UMP. The application adds an IP address to this list after one unsuccessful connection. 2nd sector (2nd and 3re arrondissements): Lisette Narducci (General Councilor) PS. In new versions, a "Bad source list" was added. 1st sector (1st and 7th arrondissements): Jean Roatta (Representative) UMP. Also added in recent versions were "Unicode Search" (allowing for searches for files in non-Latin alphabets) and the ability (not supported in Kad Network) to search servers for files with complete sources of unfinished files. 1995- : Jean-Claude Gaudin UMP (relected in 2001). This network has an implementation of the Kademlia protocol, which does not rely on central servers as the eDonkey network does. 1986-1995 : Robert Vigouroux PS (reelected in 1989). Recent versions (v0.40+) of eMule have added support for the Kad Network. 1953-1986 : Gaston Defferre (already mayor between 1944 and 1946, relected in 1959, 1965, 1971, 1977, 1983). The official web site is supported by 7 web developers and 4 moderators. Currently the project is staffed by 16 people: 2 developers, 2 project managers (including the founder Breitkreuz), 3 testers, 9 debug testers. Since its inception, eMule has been downloaded by over 85 million people. The eMule project website started up on December 8, 2003. The "Credit System" was implemented for the first time on September 14, 2002 in version 0.19a. It was first released as a binary on August 4, 2002 at version 0.05a. The source was first released at version 0.02 and it was published on SourceForge on July 6, 2002. Over time 7 more developers joined the effort. Merkur) who was dissatisfied by the original eDonkey2000 client. The eMule project was started on May 13, 2002 by Hendrik Breitkreuz (a.k.a. . eMule is coded in Visual C++ .NET using the Microsoft Foundation Classes and because it is a popular open-source program, hundreds of eMule mods (modifications of the original eMule) have appeared on the Internet. Matching file sources is verified through the use of the MD4 algorithm. Recently, many of the sites which provide these links have been taken offline by authorities due to accusations of copyright infringement, as well as a questionable legality of the links they provide. These links ensure that the file being downloaded shares the same hash, and therefore is not a "fake". Another feature of eMule is the ability to accept "ed2k" links from a web browser and begin downloading the file(s) these links refer to. Furthermore eMule transmits data in (Zlib-)compressed form to save bandwidth. The distinguishing features of eMule are the direct exchange of sources between client nodes, fast recovery of corrupted downloads, and the use of a credit system to reward frequent uploaders. eMule runs on Microsoft Windows; however, its codebase forms the basis for a Linux client, xMule, and a multiplatform client, aMule. eMule is open source software released under the GNU General Public License. In computing, eMule is a peer to peer file sharing application that works with both eDonkey and Kad Network and has more features than the eDonkey client. Number of concurrent shared files: ~600 million. latest users statistics can be found at : Slyck.com). Number of concurrent users : 3 - 5 million (correct number is unknown since many new servers are faking their number of users. Your own credits cannot be displayed. This prevents faking the credits. Your own credits are saved by the client who owes you the credit. The unique user hash is used to identify the client. Credits are stored in the clients.met file. They are exchanged between two specific clients. Credits are not global. Not supporting clients will grant you no credits when you upload to them. It does not matter if the client supports the credit system or not. All Clients uploading to you are rewarded by the credit system. Otherwise, the credit value is x. If x is greater than 10, the credit value is 10. If x is less than 1, the credit value is 1. Call it x. Out of those two values, choose the one that is lower. Calculate the following value: Square root of total uploaded data + 2. Calculate the following value: total uploaded data × 2 / total downloaded data. Otherwise:
