I was just pondering your question a few hours after I read it (I went away from my pc) and decided to look up what my peerguaridan blocked and who was who on my blocklist

etc. you get the idea. Anyways, I decided to look up some of the unfamiliar terms and found out who they were. It turns out that most of the people that my blocklist is blocking is ip addresses from colleges. I am using the blocklist manager with 12 out of 13 sources checked.
This may be the problem in your case, many of the sources have your ip addresse blocked. I recomend anonx.com or findnot.com to solve this problem with the socks 5 proxy over the vpn. I could also assist myself if you send me the ed2k link. Just post it to the site here and maybe someone else could assist. I am running Overnet 0.52. If me and you can connect, then we know that the networks are all the same or that they are all interconnected somewhat like a telephone line. (overnet, ed2k, edonkey, shereaza, emule, emule +, hybrid, etc).
