I'm using MorphXT, and with it comes the ability to give more people friendslots. I know how to do that and how to view which friends have a slot etc.
But I don't know if I can see a friendslot given by someone else to me. Is there any icon that shows up when another friend gives me a slot?
I've searched in the FAQ and the Help files of both Emule and MorphXT, but I couldn't find anything on it. In my downloadscreen I can see for example a small green key in the client's icon. Or in the "Status" column, I can see an asterisk behind my QR, for example: QR 104 (15:34 h)*
Does anyone what these mean? Or how I can see if someone else gave me a slot?
Any help will be appreciated.

Well, at the moment I have you on a friend slot for Lizard but I only use eMule.

When I give you a friendslot, the little red heart on your icon turns green, but I would like to know how I can see that you gave me one.

I dont know of any client that can tell you if youve been given a friendslot
On this extreme that I've been using for a while now, there is only 1 friendslot. MorphXT gives you many more than 1 & also the ability to increase the percentage of your upload speed to friendslots in the options.
best thing to do is a madmanmarz & send messages daily begging for a friendslot then youre almost guaranteed to get one if nobody else has one & thus grabbing you the file quicker

The use of red and green in emule really pisses me off, being colourblind. Thankfully right click -> details on a user shows if you have given them a friendslot. As far as I am aware there is no way of telling if someone has given you a friendslot, although I reckon if you are constantly downloading from someone then there's a good chance they have, unless the file in question is the only file they have shared.

OK, so concluding I can say that eMule is NOT telling you whether someone gave you a slot or not (wow, that has a nice ring to it ).
Anyone know what these mean?

New question on firendslots (stll using the Morph): whenever I give someone a friendslot, my upload to them diminishes. Instead of say, 15 kB/s, the upload is now 1 kB/s. Which is worse than regular userr get. So the only advantage now for the friend slots is that they don't need the queue, the download all the time. But I want to increase their speed. How do I do that? Oh, and if anyone knows the answer for the question posted above this one, it'd be appreciated

I'm not sure about the Morph settings. I'm using the newest version, v11.3 and I have set it as follows.
In Mod options I changed these:
Upload management - Friends: Global dataspeed: 3 (was 3) - Friends: Max Global Datarate Limit: 90 (was 100) - Friends: Max client dataspeed: 0 (was 0)
- Slot limiter: Limit at 60 slots (was Upload speed/3kBps)
So... I hope these settings improve stuff. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong, and if I should change settings, please tell me where they are, as the morph settings are kind of a labyrinth.

Mmm, it doesn't seem to affect the upload for friendslots a lot: now they are below 1 kB/s What to do to make it so friendslots get the fastest upload? Are there any other settings I should change?

Got about the same troubles with StulleMule, as soon as I give away a FS the connection on that one drops from 2 kbps to even lower Dunno whats causing it since it seems all settings are correct

I usually used PowerShare to target the file instead of a specific user. If you want to get a file to a particular person, there are much better ways than p2p and ed2k. If the file isn't very popular, it works out the same as a friends slot anyway.

Mmm, maybe I should just stop giving out friendslots, as other people are getting the file faster now than my friends with the friendslots...

reading the manual helps settings should be: - Friends: Global datarate: 0 - Friends: Max Global Datarate Limit: 100 - Friends: Max client dataspeed: 0 - Slot limiter: No limit tick Infinite Queue untick Don't remove spare trickle slot and remember that your emule max upload speed should be ~80% of your actual upload speed.

Yeah, that manual. I couldn't figure it out, it was a bit too much. Thanks for pointing this out, elguaxo, now it's working like I want it to be.

What you can see is the users you have given a friendslot, in stullemule the heart next to the friends eMule nick is green when a FS is given and red for non FS. Using the settings from gx on Stullemule gives me maximum upload speed (or the speed I set it to) for as long as I keep the FS active and/or the user stays online. Download speeds indeed tend to vary a lot
