i've had no problems with emule...
i've had it for months and have downloaded about .5tb off of it.
i set my upload to 11k b/c i think 10k is unlimited downloads anyway right? my hard limit is set at 400 with max connections of 600.
seems to work for me anyway, over about 4 months i averaged 10k/s down and 80k+ up constantly never really see it drop below that and according to my stats it agrees b/c average of whole time including reboots is 70k, i peak at around 120k
i also usually download about 50-60 files at one time though and usually only get divx movies and training material... so maybe that has a lot to do with it? also i leave it up 24/7.
i think the time u leave it up as more to do with anything though b/c once u get going, and keep adding files ...it never stops. also i do not have much to share, in fact nothing to share besides what i am currently downloading.
and no my files do not have many sources, in fact most of them have less than 50 a piece. i just checked.... downloading 60 files and only 15 have more than 50 sources ... :I

So i've read the tutorial, and everything on emulehelp.com. Apparently if Im getting a lowid, its because i have a firewall blocking my selected port. Execpt I don't have a firewall... or atleast when I disable it completely, same problem. I have DSL, well my father has DSL.. and instead of a regular network, ethernet, router, etc... He put some phoneline network in, not sure quite how it works but the existing phonelines in the house are used in lieu of ethernet... and we have these special cards, i haven't been able to setup a local network at all either btw, just shared internet. So anyway, maybe the modem itself is blocking out the selected ports. But i've tried using both ftp and http ports, with the same results. any ideas? Perhaps this phoneline network is only one way, hence not being able to setup a network, and not responding to port requests, that doesn't seem to make sense though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i really enjoy emule, despite it being slow to download. I had a modest creditfile and was screwing with my date/time settings and emule deleted the whole thing because all the clients or whatever were more than five months old =( oops. Oh well. I had been serving a ton of single mp3s, dropping that sped things up alot. thanks in advance.. this seems to be a great board

ok, I have for the hundreth time it seems looked through nearly every thread that een pertains to ADSL internaly firewaled modems. I still can not find anwsers to my question. So once again another igmorant newbie will waste more server space w/ what will proubly trn up to be a repetative thread. the adsl modem I have is the VisionNet201ER. I do actualy have the pdf users manual. what I am looking to know, is it askes for vertual server port forwarding info. That is what I wish to do so I am no longer a horribly low ID restricted user. though might I add, I have been getting DL speeds up to 35k/s from just a single user this morning off of a not so popular file. and this happens alot for me. So I would love to see just what would be my speeds if I was not firewalled marked.
I simply, yet not so for me it seems, need to enter the "private" and "public" port #'s and the IP addys for the port forwarding to work properly. I have been experimenting today with this. though I believe I have botched it all up again. I understand the private ports, those are the ones on my end. k got that figured. and the public ports, do I just use "4661" for all of them, the port listed for that cwertain server I want to connect up with. or dose the KAM/UDP/TCP all get their own specific "public" ports. Can soeone who even is willing to help here please respond in a way that I can even understand pls. I feel that if I use "4661" for all the public port entries this will clog the port and I won't get any transfers. am I even close to having a clue on all of this. or am I so far in the outfield that I can't see the dugout anymore?

Hi Dela,
You seem to know a lot about emule, so I am addressing you but also anybody that can help me with this problem. I have been using emule for quite a while and it was working fine. I had a Low ID, but still was able to download stuff and connect to almost all the servers in my list. A couple of days ago my ISP shut the connection down due to a "virus they were trying to get rid of". After the connection was restored, I couldn't connect to any of the emule servers, except one - AnimeReactor Server #3 - but nobody is there, so I cannot download anyhting. I think my ISP has done something, but don't know what or how to fix t. My emule is not working. Anyone, help?

I just got eMule my current download is going at a Maximum of 3KB/s and is normally at 0.00 or waiting so ill just wait and see what happens.
EDIT: that was written at 10:30PM last night and at 2:00AM had done 60MB of 718MB.
Now at 12:45 in the afternoon it has done 631MB and is downloading at a steady pace over 15KB/S
Dela... how could i ever had doubted you :)

I've been using Emule on my computer for about 2 months with a dsl connection. Using Emule i can now hit about 20kbs per file depending on the availability, so i'm not slow anymore.
However i do have a rather noobish question, when you serch for a file and you get the availability number, say for example 35(1) files available. How many files are actually available? I have had several files that have only one source and yet show many more upon a search. Could someone explain this to me?
"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

Thanks for most excellent help from everyone! I spent part of the last two days going through this thread. It'll take me a week to actually understand it though. 8-)
I have a high id. It is 3,57x,xxx,xxx (can't remember it all, but it is that size). Is that good? Have ZoneAlarm & Windows firewalls both open to eMule.
In sharing priority, release the file you most want vs. release all. Is it really so bad if you release them all? I mean if your total download speed approaches your bandwidth limit, yes, you need to be selective, but if not, won't it help your id go higher? Methinks I'm missing something here.
I ran emule for 12 hours and my ratio was almost 5:1 up:down. Now a day later it is 1:3.77. I don't like this trend, it seems it must eventually drop my id? I thought I read share all you download and it will go _up_. Hmm. Everyone else is complaining b/c they upload more than they d/l. Am I missing something again?
I was downloading around 30-35 kbytes/sec. Then it dropped to 11.7-12 k/sec. Grr. I looked at the graphs, I had a steady (average), then almost at the end of the five minute window it dropped and stayed. The upload graph at that point took a dip, a big jump, then dropped as well. Then slowly worked back up to where it is at now (11.9-13.9 k/sec). Download didn't go back up. <Panicks> What happened, what did I do? <More panicking> <Calms down to look at transfers list> Oh, a file finished transferring! Cool <sheepish grin>. I guess with the current transfers dropping by one I would tend to lose a little transfer speed until another file picks up due to the available sources (ones I was d/l from) maybe having some of the other files and slowly getting queued up and starting?
Any problems with running eMule and WinMX at the same time? Doesn't seem to have hit my bandwidth limit that way. I was (yesterday, mx isn't running right now) getting 34 k/sec downloads with emule and anywhere from 3-12 k/sec download from mx. Both uploading uncapped. Emule doing whatever it does in the background and WinMx running as a primary search server connected to 7 other primaries with 7 secondary (clients) also attached, running 13,000+ searches per minute (for the network in general, not for me).
Hey in the time I've been writing this eMule has gone up to Upload @ 11.8, Download @ 21.3 k/sec. Acceptable, I guess. Wasn't getting any better upload with mx (only) but was only sending to two users at once. The downloads could vary from about three k/sec for one or two files on up. My record was 188k/sec and I thought it was a misprint. About 120 k/sec from three files (several sources but not hundreds no no no) and the rest spread between about 10 other files. That only lasted about five minutes and then dropped to about 80k/sec.
Will I occasionally see big numbers in eMule?
If I continue to get slow download rates with only about (checking...) 16 downloads going at once, should I assume it won't hurt to add more downloads? I am not nearing my bwidth limit. Dunno what my UPload limit actually is, but download is apparently a thereotical 2mbit.
A friend of a friend... Actually not even that, someone I just met... Actually I haven't even met person, I just, umm... Read of this happening in a newsgroup (and we know not to trust that source). <Disclaimer mode off> Anyway, someone downloaded a couple of movies in the 780meg range and played them. The movie started and a few seconds into it the video froze but the audio kept on going. According to "that person's" various players the file was still playing, play/pause/stop and the slider still functioned but the picture remained frozen. Sound like a missing codec or a junk movie? I thought when I, umm... READ ABOUT IT... that it couldn't be a missing codec or the vid wouldn't have started playing (the video part anyway) at all. These were .AVI files btw, not .mpwhatevers (Or so the, umm, newsgroup message said.).
And I dunno for sure (b/c it wasn't _me_, I just read about it) but the files in question were probbably public documentaries or so old they were expired or... Something like that. 'Cause I wouldn't even read in a newsgroup about doing something wrong, that wouldn't be nice.
That is a long enough message, except can someone figure out how to convert this thread into an actual printable faq? Della's the main contributor it seems, so have all his/her(not sure which don't want to offend by picking the wrong one) information forming the main faq with disagreeing or supporting info in brackets with credited sources or something? I guess that wouldn't be easy though. If it were I'd figure it out myself I guess, but it _would_ be nice to have some hardcopy beside you (me anyway) when one goes tinkering with emule at 3am.
Thanks again Della and everyone else,

One more question I meant to ask in last message but it was probbably getting a "little" long anyway:
As I stated I am not approaching my download limits, or probbably my upload either as AnalogX's NetStat Live shows an upload average of 17kbytes/sec. but with a max. of 519.5. I assume the max was with compression b/c I only have 2mbit cable, not a frame relay, but still I assume my max sustained could be higher since the avg. is so much less than my max.
So I was thinking about how I didn't need to worry about trying to push too much through the pipe...
And then I got to worrying about maximum ongoing connections. I run a program called TCPView by Mark Russinovich available from http://www.sysinternals.com and it is showing well over 250 in/out connections at the same time! They seem to be constantly changing, some of them.
I remember reading once that on dialup it sometimes helped (in a web browser) to have 3 or 4 connections at once but no more as the overhead would cut into things. I assume with cable its higher but is there a maximum useful number?
Or will my isp become annoyed if I have more simultaneous connections than the rest of the neighborhood combined?
Am I being paranoid? Err, I mean am I just being paranoid? 8-;
Oh yeah, it's another thing I am wondering. Not to sound stupid or clueless, but... In winmx there are people who will let you download whether you are sharing or not. There people who will let you download if you share something even if it is something they can't use. Then there are the traders. You know no matter how much you share you eventually (or often) get a message like, "I browsed your list and you don't have anything I want so I won't let you download from me." I don't want to say too much about them or I'll start foaming at the mouth again, but it seems to me that if you only trade with someone who has what you want, eventually you will run out of traders as you'll come across people that act the same way, (a) wants what (b) has but can't get it 'cause (b) is a ba**ard I mean trader so looks at (c) who shares but doesn't have what he's looking for, looks at (d), (e) & (f) who all have it but only share with people who have carl sagen's first public speech or something. By this time (a) is pretty disgusted since he has stuffed his drive with stuff he no longer needs just so he can share. So he goes postal and deletes all of it and just starts leaching. I didn't have much to share in WinMx and it wasn't always of the same type I was trying to download at that moment but I had two queues (for speed of each connection) and they were both full all of the time, I think that the people I was downloading from weren't the uploaders, but I was helping enrich the p2p community all the same and a lot of peers seemed to respect that. Ok, my point is:
From what I could tell reading here about sharing and setting your priorities for release and all that you only gain "status" (whatever I guess I mean downloading speed) for sharing the files of the exact nature. Or (haven't quite digested this yet) even it reads like I must share the same EXACT file I am downloading and nothing else will help? Ok, I understand sharing what I'm getting this makes sense anyway, but if no one who has the parts I still need wants the parts I have am I doomed to endless low spots on the queues?
Will someone straighten me out, please(I like it rough)? I admit I am clueless and a newbie (at eMule anyway). But I am working on it. Maybe not very well but I don't flame too often or troll and I do tend to spread what I learn. I'm just pretty confused and I saw in a thread about WinMX della mentioned getting download speeds of 100k/sec. with eMule so I am definately missing something.
Will it help me if I add a bunch of larger files to my share directory and people download more from me or will it only help if the specific sources I am downloading from are downloading from me?
Ok that's it for a while I promise,

Hey dorgam,
I had this wonderful insightful reply answering all(most) of your questions just about finished and went to my favorites list to copy a web address and accidentally clicked on it and went to the site! I hit my back button but lost it. GRRR!!!!!
That's the last time I use one of these web-based boxes to reply to a forum message! I am going to start using notepad to do my messaging and copy/paste into the "box."
But right now I simply don't have time as I have to run out. I'll try to get a reply to this thread with my ideas but it could be as late as tommorow evening.
Sorry, but I am a walking example of the classic military phrase, "FUBAR." Also, "SNAFU."
Anyway, I was just going to cancel, but wanted to let you know that help is on the way. Hopefully Dela will read my eventual reply and if he(she? I dunno which no disrespect intended, I will use the gender indeterminate pronoun "es") likes what I have written perhaps es will be so kind as to edit it for wordiness and add it to es' faq.
Later and once again, sorry,
LuvsHisEx

Well, that helps. I assume as others turn off your queue shortens. Assuming this b/c when I occasionally reboot (from 100% computer usage s l o w d o w n that I get from eMule) my uploads start immediately but my d/l's take a bit... I guess I lost my place!
Quote:

Sucks doesn't it? I've got a 2048/128 connection. Means I can d/l a meg every 5 seconds from a fast site but can only upload 14-16 k/sec. So when doing eMule xfers I can't keep up my ratios. So four people get 3.6 to .9 k/sec. P'raps you are one of those four and that is why your d/l's are slow?
Quote:

9.2 k/sec sucks. I see that sometimes. Usually in the 20's which sucks. Occasionally I get everything right and my "currently downloading from" sources all have real connections (ie, NOT 128kbit/sec upload) and I get in the 80's. Like when I originally tried to reply to your message. In the 80's for an hour then slowly dropping over four hours or so to about 35k/sec.
Razorback2 seems to have the most files available but is probbably the busiest around. Make sure you have the latest eMule version (.42d right now. I think I liked .42(b?) better but haven't had d long enough to fully test). Make sure you have the options set to "take somewhat longer to connect to server but cut down on false low id connects" or something like that.
Quote:
now i got 2 questions:
1.where can i see the credit i get?
You've probbably figured this out by now by reading in these forums or simply pressing F1 in eMule and reading the help files (it is in the faq also I think), but in case you missed it, you _can't_ see YOUR credits. Every time you upload to a user, your credit goes up - with _that_ user. Therefore your credit for that user is stored on es computer, not yours.
Quote:
2.why cant i download faster.
Umm... Your life sucks almost as badly as mine? (JUST KIDDING!!! Besides, it couldn't be that bad!)
Seriously, read the tuts on this board, and the faqs and help files at the main emule site again. That will put you in the frame of mind to better understand this. I have come up with a short list:
1. The people you are downloading from have crappy 128kbit/sec upload speed so you are only getting .9 - 3.6 kbit/sec from them. Lobby for REAL broadband everywhere you can like I do. Probbably won't help but I like to b**ch and it relieves stress.
2. You are only actively downloading from a few sources at the same time.
Pretty short list, huh? Ok, now to clarify things a little... Maybe...
So you (like me) want to get a certain file. Well, you might want a file that only has a few sources. Maybe one to five of them. Even if you are the only person trying to download it (and you aren't, trust me) you aren't going to get a speed faster than those sources (when it is your turn) can send it to you.
Sometimes I see a file downloading almost constantly but very slow. This is "few sources but I'm the only one downloading it" I think.
Hopefully you have enough of the file that it shows up in your shared files screen... Then you can set the priority to "Release" which is max. That will give the other sources (if they don't have the whole file and are downloading chunks of it) a better chance to get the chunks that you have from you. That raises your credit with them, giving you a better place in their queue (simplified, there are other modifiers, see the faq) which means you will be downloading the chunks you need sooner (not faster, per se, but it works out to the same thing over time).
Also hopefully(!) when you have gotten the whole file, since it only had a few sources you will keep it available for sharing and continue to be a source for it for all of the other people like you and me out there that are trying to get it.
Ok, so next you try to get a file that has many sources (it is popular). Being popular, it also has many people queued to get it. Ok, so even if the sources have good upload speed, it seems to come slowly b/c you only occasionally get to download.
IOW, sometimes I have a file that goes like a scalded dog... then waits... then goes like a bat out of hell... then waits... then goes like a Buick Grand National... then waits... I call this "downloading from lots of people; along with everyone else on the internet."
So we have covered a file that few have & few want, one that lots have & lots want. What would work best is a file that lots have & few want.
IOW, a file that has been shared for a while, but is still good enough that people keep it for sharing... Even though the biggest slice of people that want it already have it. Then you have lots of sources but little competition.
Alas, you also have not a lot to offer those sources for the file.
That is of course if you only are downloading the one file, and only sharing the one file.
Realistically you want to have a list of files that you are downloading. Then of course your speed (all that I mentioned above) tends to go up from simple numbers. You also want to share a lot to make it more likely that the persons you are d/ling from are d/ling from you. Making your credit higher than otherwise. Giving you better shot at a good spot in their queue.
You should make sure to set priorities in both the transfer screen and the shared files screen with a bit of thought.
I like to set a file on release that I really want. Giving others a better chance to "swap chunks" with me. I also like to set a file on release that I have completed but has a lot of people trying to get. I figure I'm trying to do my part here, once more people have it it will make the jam up less.

I dunno if I did or not. I had this nicely worded message I wrote in reply to this thread with information and clickable links to various other places with info and lost it. Then all hell broke lose here and it has been a while since I could even set down in front of my computer. So I realized I needed to keep my promise and reply. Not as good as I would have hoped, but there you go. Hope it helps.
One other thing: Visit many bandwidth test sites and get a feel for your up and download speeds. Then be sure to set your upload speed to 80-85% of max but no more. I noticed when I did this instead of unlimited upload speed my download speed increased. Then I realized an unlimited upload speed left no room for the handshaking that goes along with any download meaning my downloads kept waiting for acks and such, slowing them down.

Dela,
Ever since I installed emule I have enconuntered various problems, it's like i shut one hole and suddenly another opens.
I am not satisfied with my speeds yet. I have been using emule for a couple of weeks and have a cummulative upload of 3.6 GB. Unfortunately I have only downloads 1.23 GB in these weeks. My DJ/UL ratio is 2.92/1.
I have noticed that although i connect with a HIGH ID I still use OTHER ports to transfer data much more than the DEFAULT port:
eMule v0.42d [MorphXT v2.1] Statistics [Gui]

Is there anything disproportionate in this data?
Is there anything wrong that is inhibiting me to reach faster speeds or is it still a credit problem?
Thank you for time Dela.

Gotta router? LOWID in eMule:
23 March 2004 01:55 L-Burna:
My router is a Linksys BEFSR41 and I followed Dela's tutorial guide to the letter and my eMule Internet world arrows turned to green immediately and my downloads increased from a usual 9kb - 20kb to a whopping 60kb!!. Not all that world shattering mind you but a max 3-fold increase! Depending on size of download, quite a few of them are ranged in hrs instead of days as was previous.
Dela: thanx loads man! One query though...one of my servers sent me a "warning" re: that I was using a 4662 port and that I should change to a "random" port designation because many of the users implement filtering of the 4662 port. This somehow would slow my downloads. I distinctly input the port triggering as instructed, i.e. "4660 - 4712". Where did they get the 4662 from and how do I implement the "random" ports? By the way, I re-installed per your guide just in case, and things are going pretty good. I'll wait and see if I get any more "warnings".
The older I get the better I know how to utilize my time.

Okay, I know that I am going to get flamed for taking the soft/stupid approach to using P2P, and real-geeks don't use pretty GUI interfaces, but for a set and forget approach to eMule, I downloaded and run eMulePlus - http://emuleplus.sourceforge.net/. Its pretty, it has a built in webserver (so you can check the progress of your downloads from the office) and well it works...

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this when using eMule. I completed downloading a very popular file a while back. Now, the upload queues are completely jammed with the requests for this file... I play nice and I leave the file there for more than 72 hours... Meanwhile, my other downloads are beginning to crawl and even stall completely. Desk space was running a little tight so I decide that after the third day, I have done my fair share, and I remove the file from the share and burn it off to a CD. So I unshare the file, do the burn, when I get back, the requests for that file are of course gone from my queue, and the other files, are being downloaded for a lot more sources... Has anyone else seen this?

Evening Everyone :-)
eMule has been updated quite extensively since my last tutorial! I will have a newer one written soon but a lot of the problems people where are facing may be due to the fact that it has changed a bit. This new tutorial will have a new part that previous tutorials didnt, and thats a section on dealing with firewalls and router problems. Please hang on while i complete the tutorial.
I have been offline for a long time and off Afterdawn for even longer so as u can see ive missed loads of questions that were directed at me, however i should be back here more often very soon so I'll do the best I can to answer your questions.
Some of your questions may be answered using Private Messages instead of this thread to make sure u get the answer properly!
Sorry for the inconvenience
