File request

2005-02-24T07:23:29Z

68.26.154.218:

== Definition ==

A "file request" is a call to some remote [[client]] to ask for a file.

== Description ==

If you are not on that [[client]]'s upload [[queue]], you will be added for that file (have in mind that any [[client]] can only request for one to any remote [[client]]) if possible and then you will recieve one of the answers in the next section to describe whether your request was accepted or not.

If you were already in that [[client]]'s upload [[queue]] then the remote [[client]] will answer with one of the answers described in the following section, describing your [[client]]'s status in it's upload [[queue]].

== Possible request status ==

Possible answers for the remote [[client]] are:
* #Queue_position (QR): Not all [[client]]s support it. If they do, when a request has been successfully added to the upload [[queue]], they will tell the requesting [[client]] the position their request has in the upload [[queue]].
* On Queue (OQ): Older [[client]]s not supporting the QR (see above) answer, will just report ''"On Queue"'' when the file request is on [[queue]].
* Queue Full (QF): If the remote [[client]]'s [[queue]] is already full, it will tell your [[client]] ''"Queue full"''.
* Too Many Connections (TMC): When the [[client]]'s maximum connections hard limit has been reached, it will not attend to any file request. Instead, it will answer ''"Too Many Connections"''.
* No Needed Parts (NNP): The remote [[client]] will answer this when it has none of the parts your [[client]] lacks of the requested file.
* Asked For Another File (A4AF): The remote [[client]] will answer this when another file has already been requested. Read the [[FAQ_aMule#What_is_A4AF?|A4AF documentation]] for more information on this.
