If and/or when you seem to have no sources, and are certain there should be many available, the most likely problem is that you are connected to a fake server which provides links to non-existant files, or to little or no sources whatsoever, or even worse, provides search results exclusively to files which are riddled with Spyware, Backdoors, Malware, or other unwanted Trojans. Fake servers are also bad in that any files you share will likely not be made available to ANY client in the network.
When this happens, you should do the following steps in order to...
Remove Fake Servers From eMule, and Obtain A List Of Known Good Servers
1: Disconnect from the server.
2: In eMule, click on the Options button, then the "Server" entry in the window that appears.
3: Un-check the following boxes in that window...
[ ] Update Server list when connecting to a server
[ ] Update server list when a client connects
By unchecking these boxes, you are telling eMule to no longer update server data from ANY eMule source, be that server, or clients. It is from these sources that fake servers make their way into your server lists.
4: Press the "Apply" button, then press "Ok" button.
This step is VERY important. If you fail to apply the changes, eMule will accept server data from any source which has a check mark beside it (Step 3), even after you remove all servers from your list as you will in the next two steps!
5: Click on the Servers button in eMule. If you have added any servers to your static list, you need to remove them from the static list.
Servers in the static list will re-appear in the list, even if you delete the server list and shut down eMule. The static list gives you a means to insure that your favorite servers do not get removed. But since we definately want to clean out the server list, including static listed servers, you need to right click on each server that has been added to the list, and select "Remove from static list".
If you click on the "Static" column heading, all of the servers in the static list (marked "Yes" in this column), will be grouped together. You can select multiple server entries by holding down the CTRL key as you select, and then remove them all from the static list with one right click.
6: Once all static servers are removed, right click in the area where all the servers are listed, and select "Remove All". If you have done this step correctly, you should have no servers listed.
If you are paranoid that you may have missed a static server, just shut down eMule and restart it. If all static servers were removed, there will be none in the list after you restart the program.
7: Copy the URL address below
http://www.gruk.org/server.met.gz
8: Paste it into text box below "Update server.met from URL"
9: Click the "Update" button below the text box where you pasted the URL.
10: You should now have a list of servers which include no fake servers. The down-arrow beside the text box should now be accessible, and should also be when you restart eMule. This will allow you to manually refresh the list from the URL address in future.
Optional steps you can take, and I encourage you to do so.
11: If you want, go to Options > Server, and click on the button "List...". Paste the link from step 7 into the Addresses.dat window that pops up. Also make sure NO OTHER lines of text are in that window - just the text you paste in. After pasting in the link in the Addresses.dat window, click "File", then select "Save" from the drop down list that appears. If you want to clean your list of servers out again in future (a good thing to do every month or so), and update your list of servers with a fresh list, you can click this "List..." button to get the links you pasted and saved into the Addresses.dat file.
12: If you want eMule to update the server list whenever you start eMule, tick/check the box labelled "Auto-update server list at startup", and press the "Apply" key. In order for step 12 to work properly, you must complete step 11. Otherwise, eMule will have no addresses from which to automatically fetch server data from.
Personally, I do NOT update servers automatically with my mule. I find it better to leave the server list alone, and only update the list manually, using step 10 above, every few weeks or so. For me, if my list of servers finds my mule sources, and I get no spam results with search, then my server list does not require updating. Of course, if your connection is poor, and frequently causes all servers to be removed, or if your local cable/phone/electrical-power is poor or flaky and causes servers to drop off the list, then auto-updating of servers is highly recommended for your situation.
Notes:
The pasted link I provide is the one I use. There ARE other good web sites which provide server.met files that contain only known good servers, and I do not want to discourage you from using them. Just be certain that you trust them, and be wary of adding too many. The worst thing that you could do is re-introduce bad servers into your server list by obtaining server data from one bad source. If you have two dozen URLs in your Addresses.dat file, and discover a fake server in your list, you'll have a tough time finding out which one was responsible for it

Once copied, paste the link into the address bar of your browser, and force your browser to load the link. If you have done it correctly, your browser should display the beginning of my message (Not the beginning of the entire message thread). Once you have confirmed it is displaying the start of my instructions, create a bookmark in your browser.

How To Find A File Using Ed2k Hash Only?

from the top icon/toolbar, pick Servers then under the pane that lists all the servers, click the "Server Info" tab.
the messages are like

hi
just look at your downloads: those files have red parts in the progress bar, and in the "seen complete" column, you should see "never" wink.gif
more generally, to find a file by its hash, go to the shared files tab and sort the files by hash (click on the "file ID" column)
edit:
Note that only the files with at least one complete chunk (9.28MB part) downloaded appear in the shared files tab...

The "ed2k=5A174...." part of the link is what you need to pay attention to. In particular, the numbers and letters that follow the ED2K= part. That is the file hash, and that is how you can find it. Go into Transfers window, and look for the "File ID" column. This column contains the file hash. Click on the column heading to sort them by fileID/hash and look for the one indicated by the server.
I think xnorf has misunderstood your question:
ed2k::hashid can be used to search for a file with a specific hash on the ed2k network (server or global methods only), not amongst your own files

现在 verycd emule 叫做 easymule 。中共国人改的 vagaa 更下流。
KAD 无法连接的问题，如果你的 ISP 屏蔽 P2P 协议，就要选 obfuscated 协议。
1. Options > Connections > Network 看 KAD 是否选中
2. Options > Security > Protocol Obfuscation > Enable Protocol Obfuscation 选中，不要选中 Allow obfuscated connections only, Disable support for obfuscated connections 。
如果还有问题，可以配合使用 tcpview, Wireshark http://www.wireshark.org 来诊断。
其他一些提示：

Do not download any programs from Chinese websites. Neither should you
use the modified versions of p2p programs such as emule verycd
edition.
Use this website: www.mininova.org for illegal download.
me: 你装的版本不对 verycd 版本里面就没有设置 filedonkey search 改成了 verycd search
c: oh？oh
me: 而且他们还过滤关键词
c: 是啊
me: 还不知道会干什么恶事情
c: 我以为verycd就是emule
me: 不要用 拆掉换 official emule. :)

KAD 网络和 ed2k 网络互为补充。KAD 网络是彻底的分布式 P2P，不需要集中的
index server。也就是说，不依赖于服务器。
有些文件在 global server 检索中没有找到，但是在 KAD 网络检索中可以找到。

选择在 KAD 网络上检索时，没有检索终了的标志，因为不知道哪些节点在线，得

global server 检索则会对你的服务器列表中每一个服务器发出检索请求，发完一
