You didn't need to do that, all you should have done is this
and if you have a mod with powershare then check that on your releases and then that's it, only those will get into your upload.
You only need one emule running, and you put files you need to share on release, and then put stuff your downloading to very low. This way, release stuff gets sent out, downloading stuff doesn't dominate the queue. You know you can do this right?
That's all you have to do, infact emule eliminated the ass backwards running two clients which you simply don't need to do. That died with edonkey2000. When it was just edonkey2000, there was no other way, but that program is pretty much redundant now, I have no idea why people still use it anymore.
I have loads of files downloading. Hundreds, of hundreds. But I put releases on Release and they get through predominantly.
Then again if your happy running two emules, and they're on seperate ports, then you can powershare in the way you want. However there's two big problems:
- Your wasting lots of bandwidth on overhead
- You get no credit for your uploads on the other emule setup. It won't count towards credits you get for uploading, and thusly your just wasting the opportunity to get priority in downloads since the people downloading have no idea that your other client is also you.
There's lots of other reasons why its bad for you to do it the way your doing it. But if theses don't concern you, then it doesn't make that much difference to us downloading as long as you have the clients setup right.
btw. I'm assuming you've sorted the emule ports out and everything. If your running two emules, you can't use the same ports?
