Keyword: patience.

Like Le Frog explained to me once: it's not called eMULE for nothing. It won't start for a while, then it starts real slowly and after a while it gets faster and faster.

Where you can get files at BT within the hour, eMule usually takes a few days for it to complete. The advantages of eMule over BT are numerous, but to name one which is important to me: files keep being available for a much longer period. A torrent can be dead within the month, while an ed2k link will still be available after several years.

Plain & simple. Torrent is a bunch of people collectively leeching 1 file. I say leeching coz I know of a lot of people using a client that allows them to Q up as many as they like & upload next to nothing. Emule is a collective sharing of numerous files at once & unless you can get a well sourced file & have good credits (ie youve uploaded a lot) youre gonna get it in 9.28mb chunks at a time.
Like Slayer said: Torrents are shortlived whereas emule lasts for a long time.

I hate torrents :voodoo:

There's protocol optimisations that came from being... well a later protocol.

ed2k chunk sizes are too big, and queue sizes are huge which is the opposite paradigm to torrent.

However, i think torrents main problem is huge. Trackers, nazi admins, trading, lack of sharing, etc. Its inbred into the whole design and I just don't think the security or the technical advantage of the protocol is there to justify an 'upgrade' for myself.




Here's the biggy to get you started in emule... once you've set everything up, you've got ports open, you've set up a decent upload / download settings for yourself; you need to 'bootstrap' yourself into the network... that is, you need to click a whole bunch of movies, music, games or whatever your after, and then leave emule alone for a couple of weeks.


The idea is you make yourself known to like minded peers (movie taste similarities, etc.) that will have you recorded as uploading to them. This gives you credits, credits give you a queue boost, queue boosts mean you get your 9.28mb chunk slot quicker, which means you download quicker.


So I personally queue up a long list of ed2k links and don't bother looking at my client very often. Infact, I run emule on a server and use an application called "ed2k linker" which send the ed2k link clicks from one of my pcs to my server.

Downloads fine.



For a demonstration of speed potentials, queue up a season of the simspons or something similar :)
