Hi Josh,

You can connect to any server, it does not matter much. The aMule client will
use all servers you have in list, when it will try to find files.

This is how eD2K network works - there are many servers, and everyone is
connected to just one server. Servers collect information about the files each
person shares (even partially). When someone searches the network for particular
file, the eD2K network client (aMule in your case) will ask all servers one by
one, if they have anyone sharing that file. After that the client will try to
connect to those peers directly, perhaps enter the queue and wait for some
while, and finally will be able to download some parts of a file.

Best,
Kirill
