Downloading With Edonkey?

[vronline]

ok, im a newb to edonkey/emule and all that stuff... I downloaded edonkey2000 the other day and began downloading and obviously sharing my partial downloads.

My adsl is 512/128, and on kazaa i generally download around 40-50KB/s...

In eDonkey the highest ive seen a download is around 4kb/s and its generally lower... i have read some of the faqs around here about it, and have tried my upload/download speeds at 8/20 and 0/0 respectively.. Nothing has worked. I am still downloading soooooo slowly

Can I get some help with this please

Have Patience your speed will increase as you upload to other ppl and get credits, also leave edonkey on as much as possible and dont pause/resume frequently.

Edonkey2000 is full of spywear
Use overnet clean http://myimages.fourvalve.com/overnetlite/
it uses the same network and has alot faster speeds.

pirpu: I do leave it on 24 hours a day and what are these credits??

junkyardking: thanks, I havent expeirenced anything with this edonkey yet.. no spyware, viruses. In fact I did a virus check yesterday. Anyways, I check out this version you gave me

edonkey doesn't install spyware if you uncheck 4 boxes during the setup process.

edonkey uses the horde system as opposed to emule's credit system. they both reward uploading at 80% capacity.

so wat does that mean

Check out thisiswhoweare's FAQ. eMule specific but the overall concepts apply to all donkey mods.

thats a true comment.

if you have more than 1 pc and you have a router dedicate one machine to downloading 24 hours day. - i have done that i have my windows 2003 server doing all the downloading and converting to create dvd's
