:thumbsup the whole point of a REQ section is that people search for them! using imdb (and the various titles presented there as a base) together with the search functions of emule search (to exclude by size or file or to NOT words associated)... well i used to use http://www.puer.to/ (searched emule for every girl title there! and check imdb for alternative titles that takes quite a while! or course... http://www.cvmc.net (use "advanced search" and tick "Girl Films, Little to Preteen" and "Secondary Languages" then "search now" lots of results! search for titles using the non-accentuated part of the titles and/or director/actor

hmm, after that a very! good source is EFCA http://www.ecfaweb.org/ecfnet/films.php search for original titles first

So Rich are you saying you check regularly for all of the REQs which are outstanding ? I am not sure I picked up the full meaning of your post.
that's what I used to do, periodically search for the REQ's posted on this forum (including their various different movie title names) then check those websites above and do similar searches, it was kind of like fishing :) oh and can also vary the search fields, file sizes, file extensions, of emule search. especially use the AND NOT OR commands and brackets of emule search so 5+ titles can be searched for at a time ;)
Just play around with the search commands and filtering out parts of the title that bring up other titles. Comments and further emule search tips welcome on this thread. :)

Be aware that servers don't like you doing too many global and server searches. Each search costs about 100 server credits; if you run out, they'll blacklist your sorry ass. :( Better do your search phrase refining using other search methods, eg, eMugle.com, filehash.com filedonkey.com, google. When you've settled on a search phrase that eliminates most of the undesired results, do a global search.

If you get fewer than expected results, you are probably blacklisted. Sometimes the server connection gets stale, resulting in no response to a search request. Try cancelling the search, connecting to another server, and repeating the search.

An eMule search will give you about 300 results at a time. Click the 'more' button to get the next batch of 300 results.

Use the size and type filters intelligently to cut down bad results. Eg. most movies are about 700MB or more; setting the min size filter to, say, 400MB cuts out the non-movie crap. When searching for subs, set the max size filter to 10MB, and exclude jpg, mp3.


[EDIT] Shouldn't this be in the eMule Help/FAQ section?

never had any trouble at all from searching!! searching is the essence of p2p, finding treasures/rarities made available throughout the world that could be lost to history, a worldwide archive that transcends copyright.

I got to tell you it's the first time I've heard of this. And I'm a heavy searcher - I search all the time quite frequently. I've never experienced any problems. Can you link to any documentation on this?
