I click the link directly from the forum and emule opens it (annoyingly so in a NEW Emule program each time) |
It shouldn't do that, its likely that's due to a misconfiguration. Close down all emules, load one up... check the options, you'll want to click the ed2k link button so its in charge of taking links and have a look through for one that mentions only "one instance".
Shutdown emule after setting these options and, then restart. The other issue could be your browser, I'd hope your using Firefox?
You can't run two emules from the same installation, there will be port and file locks preventing this.
