If you make a release how can you check it sources?

Once you have released a file how can you check to see how well spred it is? Curious / running out of free space

Well I would say jigle, but that's gone now, so its back to the old trusty method from the days of edonkey.

copy the ed2k link to clipboard/locate release thread, move the file out of your shared folder, refresh the shares, click /add the link and wait.

Only effective way of checking. As long as you don't download more than a couple of kb, no massive part files are created

Alternatively, install another client and click the link.

I assume you know this already but the shared files tab in emule shows full sources, unless you read microdot you'll have to scroll to get it. Having said that it looks unreliable to me, unless no one is sharing stuff once they've downloaded it :matrix:

very inaccurate though

Spread bar is great too... but they are very, very rough guides

The obtained bar is very innacurate, just like the info on the number of full sources. It's usually telling bollocks. The spread bar is ok if you start sharing a new release, because you can see if all chunks are covered.

I often just sort thee queue by file name and then check the progress bars, if eg. I have something on powershare and all sources are missing one or two chunks, I can be sure the next day most of them will be FS.

The newest morphXT will show number of complete sources in the search. Pretty handy. I assume the numbers in brackets are sources (incomplete?) on that server, and the number on the left are partials.

Is there a way to view wat usres are sharing the file by name?

Afraid I do not know that answer. Sure someone else on here will be able to inform you.

no, u can see what people have called it (the old method of downloading then view filedetails), but u can't see who's called it what, just if its been retagged/fondelled/fiddled/etc.

Easy for me: Just take it out of share and watch the boards for complaints. "Hey, could someone reshare? Only xxx mb missing". :-)

my way is to fire up second client and try to download that file
and you can see filenames too:)
