Why is emule very slow in downloading files?

if you got a slow dl rate you have to use a leecher mod like me. ı've got 256kbps/32kbps. so i'm using the mod called death abgel based on xtreme 47.a it really works. and ıf u got a high speed connection use the offical client. upload with your full speed at least 2 days. the you'll get the maximum speed. bu be careful with sources. download et least 20 files at same time.

good luck

You should get your fingers cut off by saying you use a leecher mod, thats one of the reasons why emule is slow.

As stated above, if you want speed, use bittorrent, if you want the rare stuff, use emule.

although, if you first started on bittorrent and are just now discovering emule, you'll find it hard to adjust to the speeds and the whole principle. luckily, i started the other way around and have the patience to make the best of it.

Thats all very well, but when you have ISP bandwidth caps, and don't know who is uploading from you (I used to get lots of letters via Universal Studios

) Paranoia starts to set in

You don't get credits then. Thats really going to speed up your download.

its slow but i agree there are things you can't get anywhere else. emule is a great way we can share our entire hardrive for all to download. its sharing in its true form. but if you see someone downloading a rare file off you, what i do is buddy and give a friend slot. i don't do that for popular files.
