Just wondering if anyone knows what's happening for me here,
if I have emule running my computer slows right down,webpages take forever to load ect... once I turn it off everything goes back to normal, I'm only downloading like 10 files on emule too so it shouldn't be that but it seems like it's hogging something. What should I do to fix this?
Thanks
Kat

Simple answer, don't have emule running. Edonkey protocol has a lot of overhead, hell emule has more than the official client (if overnet is not running). The only thing you can do is lower the number of connections (the source amount will go down), or cap your download.

was your client hashing your shared folders/files?....with some mods or the regular emule i found it zaps the hell out of your pc resources when hashing your shared stuff

ummm well not using it is kind of not an option if I want to d/l or share anything so that's out
what's a good amount of connections to have it set to?
@bassline no it wasn't just started happening today

Try lowering your upload a bit... Overloading the upload bandwidth causes slowdowns on other stuff, like when your browser sends a request to fetch a page...

I have the same problem with my Emule, it makes everything very slow. I believe that lowering your uploads could help a bit. Earlier I used Overnet and it was even worse when hashing of files took forever. Some of my friends can even play online when emule is on, which I can't. So it could be a processor thing or something but maybe somebody who knows better can help.

P4 1.6 with 512 MB RAM on Win2K Pro. When we play Enemy Territory (2 machines) on the internet I lower upload to 12kB to get decent pings, but otherwise I'm constantly uploading at 25kB (1024/256 kb DSL) with no problems at all. I can surf, work, play, watch movies and burn CDs while running mule.
After running for 11 days eMule with max 800 connections used 10 hours of CPU time (which would be average 3.8% CPU utilization) and ate 110MB of RAM. The machine works slower only when hashing a bunch of files - I've lost my known.met file in a power outage 11 days ago.
As eMule is a disk hog you could try defragmenting the partition with your temp and incoming directories.
Because the easiest answer is a new question here's some: How much RAM do you have in the machine, which OS are you running, how are you connected to the internet (USB modem, LAN card), any firewalls running?

There's a warning about browsing two different sites at the same time
/me tells ohgo to close down bangbus.com
Anyways, connections are each possible "transerring", "waiting", etc and it is very b/w consuming to keep up, this is just how the edonkey works. There's even more overhead with emule than the official client too, with all the bangles and streamers it has.
You will get slowdown or edonkey simply isn't working on your system to it's fullest potential, it shows that it's using all your bandwidth to run the program
Generally, I'd say 1500 connections is plenty, although I have 3000

I have 5000 and it works better than 3000. Checked this experimentally.

i have 20 files in queue (downloading)
ammount of connections never goes above 25-30 :|
and if u will check emule forums u will see that peeps never set it too high.
so u have really a lot of downloads, or u understand sumthing wrong.
just go to Statistic tab and c how many conection do u have.
i am 100% u never have 5000 connections.
windows will die.
