I don't exactly know what's a goo number. I have set mine to 300.

Isn't max_reask_delay the time when we have to reask or be considered
dead by the other client? And AFAIK emules remove you from the queue
if you don't reconnect at least every 30 minutes.

Even 1 hour should be enough i guess.

Wit all setting below 20 I get big problems to connect to most
servers. So I set it to 35 without problems.

I rarely use the edonkey search mechanism. I got my links from forums
or friends.

Yep, max_hard_upload_rate / 3 (or 2 or 1?)

Up to which value? I set mine to 200 sometimes 300. But the problem
with higher values is(was) there isn't enough time to connect to all
these sources.
