i just started using kazalite and been recomended to try emule v 022.c
which is better if such a determination can be made objectivly
newbie :blink:
Posted by: FuNkY CaPrIcOrN
;) I would have to say kazalite, I could never get emule to work properly.......see this is why we need access to Polls Paul. :D

pros and cons of kazaa vs emule/edonkey
kazaa:
is faster
has more users
no guarantee where fakes vs real files are concerned, though situation is improving with forums such as these and fast-track central.
controlled by the evil empire i.e. Sharman
easy to use
emule/edonkey:
nearly 100% fake-free
great for games/Ware*/new movies
uses shareractor/filenexus/and other sources for easy file-finding
open-source and no spyware
more custimisable i.e. possible to set upload/download cap, etc.
more personal, as you can have favourite userlist, chat, etc.
not as user-friendly as kazaa, but no rocket-science
I'm sure it's not a complete list, as I don't often use edonkey, and have never used emule, but it's a start :)
Posted by: drorsdd
guys i will be installing emule later tonight (unless ill come home too drunk from the bar) :lol:
and will give my opinion later
Posted by: Paul
I use both emule and Kazaa Lite.
Speeds are about the same. Sometimes fast, sometimes very slow.
Emule is a good way to download new sharereactor releases.
Kazaa Lite is a good way to download other stuff.
Posted by: El_Jefe
Man, I don't know how you guys get edonkey and emule to perform comparable to Kazaa lite. My average d/l speed on Kazaa is about 20-40, with speeds at and over 100 not being all that unusual, but on emule, anything over 10 is downright remarkable.
It could be that I'm just thick, and emule has a higher learning curve.

:o Speeds of over 100 useing Kazza,damn dude that is fast.I am useing DSL and I have never gone over 30. :o
Posted by: El_Jefe
Yeah, my connection is pretty good. I don't know what the rated d/l and u/l is. It's supposed to be SDSL, but I thought you couldn't use SDSL at the same time as the phone, and I can so don't know what the deal is. I know I've gotten speeds at around 200 a few times, and I upload at over 100 pretty regularly.

I use both SoftSeek and KazzA Lite,maybe I should try that Shareaza again. ;)
Posted by: Paul
If you set your upload speed on emule to 10 or higher you will get faster downloads.
Also I only download stuff that has been released on sharereactor.com because those files have many sources. I almost never use the search function.
Posted by: gumby
I agree with you, Paul. I was using KaZaA Lite and overnet, but ever since I read Dawn's eval of emule and the new overnet version (0.32) bombed, I've been using the latest version of emule.
The only problem I'm having right now is that I can't use edonkey links from sharereactor with this version of emule. I am only downloading sharereactor stuff, though. I search for it and compare file names, file sizes, and sig2dats to make sure they are the right ones.
I've gotten 70+ kb/s download speeds with emule. It's not as fast as KaZaA Lite, but it will do for me. :)
KaZaA Lite and emule are my new one-two punch.
Posted by: gumby
Oh, BTW...
For anyone having problems configuring emule, check out this thread from their forum:
http://www.emule-project.net/en/viewtopic....&highlight=urls (http://www.emule-project.net/en/viewtopic.php?t=9540&highlight=urls)
I followed this exactly and was able to get 70+ kb/s (as high as 75 kb/s) download speeds. That took place on a server called "Johnny's Server". That burst was a good half-hour long. I guess it really does depend on the server. Average speed over the last 10 hours has been very close to 10 kb/s.
Hope this helps. Anything for you guys. :)
Posted by: Paul
I had an 'average' speed of 60 KB/s for a few hours yesterday on emule :)
eDonkey links work perfectly on emule 0.22c (and before) over here

KaZaA Lite and emule are my new one-two punch.
In order to put sharereactor links into emule right click the link select 'copy shortcut' then paste into the ed2k link thingy in emule :)
My Opinion:
*Kazaa Lite is a faster better client, the fasttrack network is the largest network in terms of users and better for single mp3s.
*edonkey network contains less people but more dedicated fileshares and more quality stuff like earlier releases, cd images and 2cd dvd rips (but to use the edonkey network u must use emule or edonkey with a means of getting a good updated serverlist)
So lets try and get all that edonkey stuff on the fasttrack network :D
Posted by: gumby
Thanks. I'll try that.
Posted by: texascbx
I have gotten speeds as high as 175kbs with kazaa, but have been trying out Shareaza and can get up to 350kbs sometimes(I got Doom 3 off Shareaza),but the serch results are not as good.

woohoo :lol: only been using emule for a couple of days now, but just reached collective DL-speed of 110kb/sec. I'm still using kazaa but emule kicks :P
Posted by: drorsdd
hi guys
well got the emule working BUT when i click on a file i whant to down load (a movie lets say) i get an erorr message thet the application asked to terminate itself in a paculiar way and it closes the emule
so still trying to figure out what is wrong....
any ideas ?
ill come back with conclusions some time in the future ( i hope) :(

Thanks mat_gray. :D I couldn't connect either.
Posted by: Guest
can some one give me a url (.met) for server list?
Posted by: tracydani
mat_gray just did. That's what I was thanking him for. Look up 4 posts above yours and it is in there with instructions on how to use it :rolleyes:
Posted by: Champion
try Shareaza 1.7.x (http://www.shareaza.com/) , it's better then eMule i think. It's faster than eMule and u got more results than eMule whn u r searching... it's search in morpehus, limeware... etc...
and Shareaza and the G2 network now fully support ed2k....

I wouldn't mind trying e-mule, but is it 56k friendly? or do you need a broadband connection?

:D Kazza Lite Vs. SoulSeek (http://www.slsk.org/) :D
SoulSeek has Chat Rooms
SoulSeek has User List Capabilities
SoulSeek has Wish List Function
KazzaLite has Millions of Users
KazzaLite has the ability to download mutable files at once
KazzaLite has Media Player

How can you get speeds over 100 consistently? I have once or twice but that's about it.

Do you use a program like TWEAKMASTER which, uh... 'tweaks' your modem connection?
I got this tip from one of the members (I think it was Ardor, thanks) and my downloads from KL accelerated from 30Kb/s to an average of 100Kb/s!
I'm using ADSL with 1Mb/s.
The problem I found out however is that this Tweakmaster has an evaluation time of 30 days, after that you need to register...
Does anyone know where I can get a free version or another, similar, program?
Another (maybe stupid) question: what is the difference between Edonkey & Emule?

Same network, different client interface. eMule is far superior to eDonkey.
Posted by: cereal21
how come there are not much users on emule?
Posted by: El_Jefe
A variety of reasons really. One, it's not a very user friendly interface. The eDonkey network is slower, and because of certain attributes, it's sometimes harder to complete files. Or at least that's my opinion.
But they do have a greater variety of files. I think alot of it's popularity can be attributed to ShareReactor.
Posted by: Paul
On eMule most files have far more sources as on the FastTrack network, even though there are less users.
Plus, you never search the whole FasttTrack network. Just a part of it.

So when I want to look for more rare and classic movies eMule is the best?
On Kazaa you only find those blockbusters - no scenarios allowed! :(
I tried Sharezaa and found the same as on Kazaa, but less.
And that Soulseek, anything better than Kazaa?

@Colt Seevers,
I tried both Emule plus and Tarod.
I too like Emule plus more. I am using v0.22c 3c.
No problems with using both Emule plus and Kazaalite 2.0.0 build 2 at the same time. :)
Posted by: Bender
Thanks El Jefe, Ardor and the others!
But I still have that one question; which other filesharing program is the best for downloading classic and quality movies?
On Kazaa I almost find nothing but those Hollywood Blockbusters. :(
I'm more into stuff like for example Humphry Bogart movies, Charlie Chaplin, Fritz Lang stuff, Leni Riefenstahl (not for her political ideals), basicly anything with a scenario... :D
I don't care much for D/L speeds in this case.

How does shareaza compare with Kazaa lite. Which is better and in what way or if they are both good for different things which is best for what. Also How to do Shareaza and Kazaalite compare with Limewire, bearshare and WinMX
Posted by: AngryVic
I use both kazaalite and emule plus
i get max speed of 200 on kazaa and 100 on emule! thats max of course avg is about 100 on kazaa and 50 on emule (when downloadind 25 files on emule)
i think sharazza blows i cannot ever get alot of search results!
so i got 3 file sharers: 1 on fast track, 1 on e2k, and 1 on gnutella/2
p.s sharazaa is on bearshare and limeware :blink:

for the 2 post above, it's www.emule-project.net
The one big advantage emule and edonkey have over kazaa is the built in error correction. Identifing corrupt parts of your download and redownloading the correct parts. This really makes a difference when downloading software.
But overall, I prefer Kazaa and Fasttrack network.

well i tryed emule and its alright !! my preff is still kazaa though!!! i found way more biggie on kazaa then emule (but maby i gotta look a lil more) pluse i like kazaa cause its easy to !!!!!!!!use and modify!!!!!!!! and kazaa looks alot better!!!! !! thanks to all for the links and info!!! i frist got emule like 2 days ago and i could not get it to update or connect!!!! thanks to all!!!!!

If you're looking for music, then stick with Kazaa.
eMule and eDonkey are only worth it if you're looking for large vid files, games and software disc image files.

Couldn't have said it better myself El_Jefe...the error correction used in kazaa maybe good for mp3's but when it comes to image files, it sucks! Dont waste your time unless you want make new silver coasters!
Emule is good if used in conjunction with sharereactor. ;)

I had similar problems with Emule until I found this site: http://ed2k.2x4u.de/index.html (http://ed2k.2x4u.de/index.html)
Just replace the "server.met" files with one from site and you'll see a big difference in dl speed. When I did this, I was able to downloaded Harry Potter 2 & Die Another Day in just 2 days! Kazaa still rules when it comes to music but new rips of movies are always faster (at least for me) with Emule. Also, you can find a lot more languages of rips. Emule's software seems a little buggy.

Don't know what version (of eMule) you're running. But make sure to have the latest one. The last one did have some bugs.
Also, (I know some one will contradict) I don't think the eDonkey network is particularly suited for those with 56k internet.
Posted by: Đark Princ€
yea it just pissed me off!!! that i could not get one file!!!! i used the update url that was posted in here!!!!!! i tryed to get a lot of stuff none of it would d/l but i had alot of uploads though!!!!
Posted by: Đark Princ€
can anyone shed sum light on these settins in emule???i figured that i would give it another shot and give the link up above a shot maby i dont have anything set right!!!
Posted by: El_Jefe
You can check out the settings info on this site (http://emule.sourceforge.net/faq/index.html). "Pick setting up eMule", then "preferences", then "connections"
Be prepared to take a while, the queues can be really long to get a file. So the longer you have it running, the more chance you have that your download speed with pick up.
Another tip:
I find that because eMule runs on a credit system(compatible with other eMule users), you may want to give the file you're downloading, the highest priority for sharing. Of course, you have to wait for you to get a chunk first.
Posted by: Mr. Nice Guy
I tried eDonkey a few months back on my dialup connection. Wouldn't even connect to the stupid network! I may give eMule a shot and see what I can get, and I shall share my results.

Posted by: gumby
Has anyone tried emule plus? I'm just trying it now. I'll let you know if I see any difference. The only difference so far seems to be astetic, other than the fact that this was built off of emule 24a and I was previously using emule 22c. So, this one is updated plus the eye candy...
http://www.emuleplus.tk/
Posted by: gumby
Oh, BTW, here is the list of servers I use...
http://www.emule-project.net/faq/addresses.htm
As long as you have a good list of servers, you shouldn't have any problem with emule.
Go down to the very last one (server-best.met).
That's the one I'm currently using.
I will say that I was using port 4661 with emule and getting a high ID most of the time with my list of servers with emule 22c. As soon as I started using emule plus 24a, I noticed that if I changed the port to 4661 I was always getting a low ID.
If I put it back to the default port (4662) which is the same one used by Kazaa Lite, I get a high ID.
I'll experiment with it somemore. I'd like to be able to put it on port 4661 and leave it there so that I can run emule and Kazaa Lite at the same time. I'll even try 4660.
Posted by: gumby
Here's a novel idea. I'll use the best servers from your list and my list.
Anyway, that seems to be the story with emule plus 24a: You need to use port 4662. You might be able to get away with 4661 if you disable the WinXP internal firewall.
I'll have to try reg emule 24a sometime and compare. Obviously, there's a lot of beta testing still needed to be done.
Posted by: gumby
Whoa, man.
My download speed just jumped to 49 kb/s for just one of the files I'm downloading (and a not so popular one at that). I guess you guy did have the superior server list. I default to the better men. :)
Posted by: gumby
WOAH! Same file...160 kb/s!!
This is Kazaa Lite speed.
Thank you!
Posted by: gumby
182.2! Holy Crap!
Posted by: gumby
294.9 kb/s!!!!
1 file!
Posted by: Mr. Nice Guy
Does this emule plus software work for us dialup users??
Posted by: gumby
Yes, I believe so.
The only one of the edonkey bunch not meant for dial up is overnet, I believe.
BTW, that 294.9 didn't last forever, but that's alright. Good first impression. :)
Posted by: Mr. Nice Guy
I will have to give her a shot after I got done with my Kazaa Lite PL cheating experiments (check the iMesh experience thread). But like I said earlier (maybe in this thread, or maybe not), I tried eDonkey a lil while ago, wouldnt even connect for me poor dialup.

top-speed emule.plus 24a = 397KB/sec! B)
Posted by: drorsdd
ardor its a bug in emule 0.24 that couses u to see souch speed (quite slow i may add, heard of ppl d/l at 2mb with the 0.24 so it has to be a bug)
call the exterminator m8 (reinstall or go back a version)
but that speed is nit true
Posted by: Ardor
Excuse me but that wasn't a bug! If it were, I would not be bragging with it! :P This was reported by emule and DUmeter (not associated with eMule in any way), and I had 8 finished 700mb+ downloads lying in my folder the next day! And 2MB/sec, common man, that's way beyond my capabilities, my reported speed however is not, and quite fast for me TY! :rolleyes: Oh and here's a hint, try setting the Max Sources per File to something higher!
Posted by: drorsdd
well if ur connection can actually give u that speed then my appologies , but there is in very high probability a bug in 0.24a that gives just for a few secs (not like in ur long stream) a very high (way beyond the capacity of ones line) speed that can get up to a couple of mb's/s
i could show u a long thread about it in an emule forum but im affraid its not in english (hebrew) so wont help much
by the way my sourses r 500 what level u recon i should change it to ??
:) :) :)
Posted by: Ardor
nevermind, mine are at 500 also (for cable). But I only raised it after someone on the emule-forum suggested that that could result in a speed-boost....and in my case it did :D

edonkey is not for dialup users, you have to wait too long to start download.

i confirmed the bug with one of the moderators for the official emule forum and there is a bug in the official emule 0.24a that couses the disply to show very high d/l speeds (a display bug as he called it) it happens when the cpu usage gets to high
and it makes emule c that speed as d/l speed (or something like this)

So what specific server.met do you recommend I use to update my servers ...
And do you know how I can retain my "client rating" value after I reinstall or update my e-mule client. Can't find it in the forums ...

hi skeptic
here is the faq on updating the server file:
http://www.emule-project.net/faq/index.html
here is the url for the server.met updates (get the all servers file):
http://ed2k.2x4u.de/index.html
regarding the client rating will have to get back to u

i just started to look that way for more focused and faster searches !
Posted by: sarahjh69
i been using kazaa lite for months
only my 50Kbs speeds have gone and the best i get is 0.5Kbs
emule works.......kazaa don't anymore
i am using satADSL (modem out satallite incoming)
Posted by: drorsdd
do u notice that emule gets faster and faster into the dwonload ?
i guess it has to do with better place in line relativly to other users

hello,
Kazaa est vraiment le meilleur (he's the best) to speed. :lol:

emule works.......kazaa don't anymore
____________________________________________________________________
bullshit!!!! i have had no problem with kazaa but i damn sure did when i used emule, it never worked for me at all!!!!! kazaa is way better cause its easy to use for all users and cause it does'nt matter if you got dail up or cable or dsl it will download sumtin!! instead of being on que for ever!! i had emule up and runnin for 2 days and i got nutting and i tryed to get very small files still did not d/l anything!!!!
answer this question for me please? which has more users "kazaa or emule"
hint: it starts with a (K) and ends with a (A)!!! lol lol
one thing i did like bout emule was how easy it was to change the splash screen and that the splash was in 24 bit color not 8 bit color!!!
besides that i whished that i would not have wasted my time gettin emule in the first place!!!! i will stick with the real deal!!!KAZAA!!!!!!!
Posted by: xpresside
using adsl 384/128 :( :(
kazaa average speed 35-40kbytes/s
emule .24B average speed <15 kbytes/s
ah,,,btw the queing system sucks
Posted by: sarahjh69
I can only repeat kazaa no longer works for me
about the best i can get is 0.5Kbs
With emule overnight I get 40-60Kbs
(last night total downloaded 700meg)
and in the day 5-10Kbs
those speeds are the same as kazaa when it used to work
as long as I download 3-4 files at the same time the emule
speed reaches top after about 10mins connected. The
queueing system does not seem to be a problem.
As for number of users...Sharereactor release direct to emule
who cares about any other users!

Sarah, if you've got an older version of KaZaa, then it WILL be slow.
You'll have low priority on your downloads.
Ugrade to K++ 2

____________________________________________________________________
i do cause this means the more users out there the more files you can get!!!! i bet emule does not have as much files as kazaa does!!!! like jefe said emule is only good for movies and software!!!! i think he also said that its not good for downloading mp3's!!! i checked this out myself compare 460 results for m.o.p. (kazaa) and like 50 results for m.o.p.(emule) kazaa will win every time!!!!! and who cares that they release direct to emule!!!!!! when i got all my new software from kazaa (norton /roxio/ex:) i gave emule a chance and emule blew big donky balls!!! totally sucked!!!! with kazaa (when i first got it) i was d/lin files in a min and (like i said befor)with emule i was on que all day and all night and i did not get a thing!!! so KAZAA KAZAA KAZAA kazaa KAZAA

With Kazaa I routinely get 100-200kB.
It seems the biggest problem eith Emule is that I am always "On Queue"
Posted by: danne
Oh fkk... blah, starting over on my looooooooooooong post... will most surely be shorter than the original...
As an anime freak I prefer finding files with slow d/l to not be able to find them at all. On the eWhatever net I do find them, as well I can see, for the most part, if they are subben in anything else than english (blah, why can't frenshies and germs just go with english subs like 'normal' contries ? :PP ).
Ok, as long as I have run eMule, the overall speed has definitly been lower than on kazaa, but as I said, at least I find the stuff =) A feature I definitly like about eMule is the partial file download. If you are d/ling a file and someone has part of that file as well, you can d/l that part from him to speed things up.
Well, gotta run, it IS new years eve after all.
oh, btw, happy new year and all that stuff, see ya when I get sober again...

Posted by: Trotskyite
Been trting emule all day, thought I was going to post that it is $hit. But I surprise myself, its alright. My first 700Mb download was coming in at 3kbs and was due down in two days, but as I have been uploading more and more my download has gone up to 30kB/sec (more or less). Okay so this isn't as fast as the 50-70 I get on Kazaa but I should have spearhead down in one day, and hopefullt it will work this time.
From now on it will be kazaa for music and video (never had a major problem here just the odd glitch for a second or two) but it has to be emule for rom files (this is assuming it works as I have been promised it will)
Another cool thing about this programme is that it uploads fragments of files that you haven't even finished downloading yet, so bits of the file I was recieving were simultaneously being sent out agiain.
Can't we do something to merge the speed of kazaa with the error checking of emule?
Posted by: Trotskyite
Up to 50kb/sec now.
Don't be put off by poor speeds when you first start using emule, the more you share the faster it gets. It has a working pl thing built in!!
Posted by: gumby
hamster,
Hi. Forgot all about this thread, else I would have answered sooner. That speed for that file was obviously a bug for that version. Sorry.
As for the difference between Kazaa and emule, this last guy (Trotskyite) seems to have a good handle on it.
Kazaa is faster. It's superior for getting smaller files like mp3's, even of high bitrates. I use it to get all of my music, among other things. Anything under, say, 50 MBs it should be fine for. Just a ballpark figure. Could go higher (100 MBs) depending on the availably of the file elsewhere. However, be warned: the larger the size of the file, the greater the chances of it being corrupted before it reaches you. As Colt said, Kazaa has no way of guaranteeing the integrity of a file.
For larger files, emule is the way to go. Any type of important software or large game bin & cue's or iso's should be acquired through emule. I try to distribute them later on Kazaa, but I get them from emule to assure their integrity. emule has an integrity feature that discards corrupted sectors in files and redownloads them, making certain you have a perfect copy of whatever you're downloading everytime. It's almost necessity for large (200, 300, 400, 500+ MBs) files.
emule doesn't have Kazaa's speed, however. Although, you can start seeing some consistent high speeds (50 kb/s) for a group of 3 or more files you're downloading at a time when you start to build up your priority, so it's something you need to stick with in order to see those kinds of results. Paul claims he gets 70+ kb/s regularly. He must have been at it for awhile.
Also, with emule, it's almost fruitless to try and download one file at a time. In order to benefit from any kind of speed at all, you really need to download several files at the same time. That way, you might have 5 files downloading at 8, 6, 4, 3.5, and 2.5 kb/s at the same time (24 kb/s) as a beginner, but at least it's some consistent speed as opposed to downloading one file at 6 kb/s.

some cool features u dont c in kaza
Posted by: somegrrlz
re emule - re shared folder list -
1. it's a royal pain that you can't just click on a folder and autoshare all the subfolders. i don't wanna keep stuff unsorted in one big directory, and i have to remember to go share any new folder in emule. often i forget. bad interface design detail.
2. there is an error in the shared folder routine, doesn't display long pathnames correctly and as far as i've determined, WON'T let me share these incorrectly displayed pathnames. i will not be reaaranging my hard drives for the sake of emule, so these folders, which are shared under KL++, do not get shared under emule.
3. you have to register to even read/browse/search the forums on the emule site. what a crock. way too intrusive. you can't even search for info to get the thing running right without having to register. i did register, but didn't bother to go back to the forums cause i was so annoyed. don't mind having to register to be able to post.

No, the mp3 search results are pretty small compared to kazaa. But for movies, it's great.
Posted by: Colt Seevers
Dont use the search in emule....try just getting quick links from sites such as:
File Nexus.com (http://www.filenexus.com)
Share Reactor (http://www.sharereactor.com)
Flying Piss > Honest it's a music site! (http://www.flyingpiss.topcities.com/main.htm)
Music Donkey (http://www.varkoume.com/donkey//index.php)
Jigle E donkey/mule Search Engine (http://www.jigle.com)
To make sure quick links work......try and make sure you have the "ED2K Links" enabled, it's in the preferences Tab.
Happy Hunting!

like i have been saying the whole time kazaa is more user friendly and emule is just over rated crap!!! i tryed it and i didnt like it at all now i use kazaa and shareaza you can find way more files use'in them
on shareaza i got 2745 search results on notorious big!!! i liked that!!! but its still slow d/l'in but i dont mind pulse the program looks so good!! IF YOU HAVE trouble connecting at first then go d/l verision 1.7 its much better!!! but its still not as good as the fast track network and kazaa!!!!!!!! but its the best i have found besides kazaa!!!! dont get audio nome it blows (trust me) its got alot of users but finding a good server is mission impossable!!!!! edonky blows i never got that to work at all!!!!! but if you get shareaza i would not go to the forum unless you have to cause ppl on there openly diss the fast track network (that tee totaly pissed me off) i tryed to sign up so i could cuss them out but i never got the email give'in me the password (shit i still hav'nt got it) if i did i was gona give them a good ass chewin!!!! i was heated i mean beyond pissed i was goin mad i was so pissed!!! but i calmed down though!! i thinks that i got a anger problem really sumtimes i just lose it totaly but any way!!!! lol lol im still on a quest for high quality biggie,thats why i even tryed any of these programs!!!!! but ppl try shareaza v 1.7 its a good lil program its in its bata stages still but a final verision will be out soon!! i think the bata lasts like one or two months thats more then enough time to last you untill the final hits there site!!!!!!!!

yes i know all about tarod , if u look carefully at my signature ull c its cahnging the version of emule that i use coz i test 3 dif versions at the mom (emule +(the new one), tarod,emule 0.24b) and to be honest i like the official emule 0.24b the best.
for mp3's and apps i only use kaza but for dvd's and games emules is the best and just for stability sake i stopped dl big files with kaza coz i got sick of getting it crash after 400mb's and then start all over again, emule hardly crashes and even when it does u can still coninue from where u were.
brokster wroth:
e mules hard to get to work i had no sucess with it
u can find alot of info at the emule-project faq and on the forum as well ppl r nice there as they r nice here.

E mule/ e-donkey is much faster in my opinion for getting the files that are more rare. Once everyone has something, you can definitely get better speeds with kazaa lite. Simple as that

:D Ok I decided to try WinMX again,been useing it for the past few days,now I have 3 programs that I use,WinMX,Kazaa Lite and SoulSeek.I use to love WinMX but when they changed last year I hated it,now after useing SoulSeek for so long I understand how the queueing works,if somebody has 160 in queue it does not matter because they might have 4 or more slots open.Kazaa has the people(over 4 million)I will give them that,but they need chat rooms like the other peer 2 peers to make it easier for us to hook up with each other. :D

yeh.. i like WinMX before but i will also give it a chanse i heard that people get fast download now at winmx (latest v), but i will check it.

Yesterday I downloaded eMule 0.25b and Tarod.16 from the links provided in the Kazaa vs eMule thread.
I'm used to using eMule plus. I cannot believe the difference in speed. It's crazy. We're talking like 4x more speed on a consistent basis.
I had this thing going at over 100 kb/s for two hours earlier this morning. 180 kb/s, at one point. One file alone at 60 kb/s.
And, these aren't misreads. These are the actual results.
Needless to say, eMule 0.25b [Tarod.16] is highly recommended.
Download eMule 0.25b installer from the eMule page and then download the Tarod.16 binaries from the Tarod page. Then, copy the binaries over their counter parts in the eMule folder.

Oh, BTW, remember to save your credit file and carry it over whenever you change mods. It really helps.

Sorry about the multiple posts, but I can't get over this thing.
I mean, even when it's at it's slowest...it's really not that slow.
For instance, right now it's about as slow as it's been since I installed it and it's still going at 41.0 kb/s.

I used to use Tarod, but have been trying out the emule plus mod for a while.....
reading your post makes me want to go back with Tarod! :)

Right now it's at 85.1 kb/s.
I'd say that's a little above average. Average is somewhere between 60-70 kb/s so far.

I don't know what these guys have done but it has sure impoved things a helluva lot!

First of all, please bear with me on this one. I am a dumbass about things I am familiar with, nevermind this computer stuff.
OK, I've downloaded E-mule (thanks for the info). I downloaded Tarod onto my desktop, and just moved them to the E-mule folder. Is that good enough? If not, how do I copy the Tarod files over the associated E-mule files?
Next, I opened E-mule. Kazaa and LWire automatically entered the server information. This program is giving me a "not connected to server message". I know my IP address, and entered that into the "add server" area, but am not sure about what to put in for server name. I have Cable One service, and putting in "cableone" doesn't work. Where do I find out what server info it wants?
Finally, am I good to go once the server info is added?
Thanks for your time.
Posted by: Colt Seevers
just cut and paste the server mentioned below...
START:
------
-You must download a serverlist now to get started. Just go the "Servers" tab, enter
the URL and press "Update". The working serverlist URLs change rapidly,
so please look for one on the community pages mentionened below.
A nice and reliable serverlist can be found at http://ed2k.2x4u.de
Note that this site is not related to the eMule team, and we are not responsible
for it's content.
-Don't forget to connect to a server. You can also activate the "autoconnect on startup"
option (preferneces -> connection) to do it automatically after start.
Also running 3 file sharing apps at the same time is probably not going to help you....if just trying emule out i suggest you cut the other 2 (kaz, and limewire) to see how emule is working first...
Good luck

Hey thanks for the server list. Is that basic knowledge (how to get that list)? Anyway, I double clicked on a couple of servers IP's from that list, and shazam!, I had a bunch of servers. I tried it out and got a bunch of files to download instantly. Thanks Again.

Does Tarod help download speed on E-mule... mine's d/l'ing real slow (2-3 Kbites/sec)? If so, how do you determine which e-mule files to replace with the tarod files?
Posted by: Colt Seevers
in my experience ron, the longer you leave emule the better it gets. You need to give it time to gather sources, then you go into a que....but once you start getting sources, it flys along, at least for me.
If its your first time using it don't expect instant results, it requires patience, and understanding.
I recomend you open up your emule directory, and find a file called readme.txt, open it and give it a good read, it's very helpful. :) and no, I'm not trying to be sarcastic here...it really is quite helpful :)
Posted by: ronc
Colt, thanks for your patience and replies to my questions. I will read up a bit on that file, and give 'er a go.

AFAIK, Tarod's (as well as the other mods) mod is a full installer and doesn't need to have regular eMule installed first...
Posted by: gumby
Not to split hairs, but a full installer, at least in my mind, is something that when you run it it puts everything where it needs to be and requires no extra work from the user.
Kazaa Lite 2.0.2 [K++ v2.0.2] installer and eMule plus installer are such things. You run it, then you're good to go.
Tarod.16 binaries aren't like that. If you download this zipped pack to c:/scratch and you unzip it in c:/scratch all you have is a folder called Tarod.16 in c:/scratch. It doesn't set up a folder called c:/program files/emule like the emule and emule plus installers do and dump all of it's contents in there.
So, you could rectify this by just setting up a folder called c:/program files/emule and dumping all of Tarod.16's contents in there and then setting up your own shortcut on the desktop to it. No big deal.
I wasn't aware that the Tarod.16 binaries would actually run that way in and of itself. What I was doing was running emule 0.25b full installer and then cutting and pasting all of Tarod.16's contents into that (c:/progam files/emule) folder. When it asks "do you want to replace...etc, etc" I just chose yes, which means the original executable, etc was no longer there anyway.
Now that I know differently I can chose either or. There really isn't any difference either way. If anything, my way is a bit easier for someone who has no idea what they are doing (how do you think I thought it up? :) ) Tarod.16 is still running perfectly. Currently at 114.3 kb/s. BTW, it seems to be getting faster as it goes along.

WoW sounds really good, i'll give it a try also... :D :rolleyes:

I've already had my 1st problem with Tarod 16. Crashed and lost several files....Not happy at the moment <_<
Posted by: zapjb
Shit I can't get it to download anything at any speed! <_<
Posted by: Ardor
are there many sources for the file(s)? Usually it takes me about 2-5 minutes for it to start. If there are many sources and the bar is dark-blue, you should be good to go!
Posted by: zapjb
all that & still no go. i'll try again later.
Posted by: zapjb
Good & bad. People uploading from me. Not byte of a download. This bites! :angry:
Posted by: Ardor
What are your connection settings & is dynamic Upload (dynup) enabled? eMule works on a credit system, the more you upload the higher your credit the quicker you get a free slot. So sometimes you have to build up credit to download. ;) Also setting upload capability and limit to above 10 will have a positive effect!
Posted by: gumby
173 kb/s now.
Sorry to hear about the crash. I haven't experienced that.
As for downloading speed...when I switched to Tarod.16 from eMule plus, I already had a credit file of over 7,000 which I saved and then placed into the c:/program files/emule folder after the new install.
So, I hit the ground running. If you are starting from scratch, you may want to start with emule plus, just to get aquainted with this software, for starters. Also, always save your credit file.

I used emule for a couple of movies a while back and kind of drifted away from it. But I read this thread this morning and installed the new mods mentioned.
So far today I have finished both the Adaptation and Catch me if you can screeners, almost done with punch drunk love and about half of the two towers 3 disc version(started this one late because I already have the 2 disc one).
Seems to be far better then I remember it being :D Amazing
I had it giong at a combined of 455kb for a bit and it generally stays around 200 :)
Oh yeah, where do I find my credits?
Posted by: gumby
The file is called "clients.met".
If you ever switch mods (whether it be to get the latest version or a different kind or whatever), copy and save this file to a different folder before you uninstall. Then, after you install the new mod, cut & paste it back into the folder.
The credit system of eMule works a little differently than K-Lite. Your credits are actually somehow stored on these "clients" of yours' computers. If you erase/lose this file, you have to start back at zero.
BTW, you must have a slightly better connection than I do. Right now, I'm in a slow cycle of sorts at 45.6 kb/s.
Posted by: tracydani
564kb!!! 6 files goin above 50, 1 at 117 and 3 just going along ok.
So, how do I see my score/credits? Or can I ?
Posted by: gumby
You only see how many credits you have when you first load your client. It's one of the stats that come up.
Also, which server list are you using and which server are you currently on? It's seems you are now the master and I am the one looking for advice. :)

hi gumby
why didnt u post this thread at the "emule vs kaza lite" thread i started? this way all the data for comparison will be in one place.
anyway a good one indeed
didnt test the new tarod yet... waiting for him to get rid of all the bugs but looks like tarod 0.25b 16 is a good one (will test it later) im still useing his 0.23b 11e version and like it alot.
also i have a new emule oriented website so give it a look (its mostly an info page at the mom ) but you can also find an "online signature" tutorial by me.

btw gumby can you see my website? or do you have the same pb as kazaa4life ?
Posted by: tracydani
@ Gumby. I am not sure which server I was connected to(my comp. went offline briefly and changed but it's still good).
But I got the list a while back in drorsdd's thread. Page 2 posted by mat_grey :)

Besides if you have a good server-list, it will search the whole list for sources, especially if u have source-exchange enabled! So the server doesn't matter! I would guess that Tracydani is just blessed with a wicked connection :blink:

hi all
can a moderator add this thread to my "emule vs kaza" thread so we wont lose the info ??
bye dror
Posted by: scribblec
not proud to say this but when i leech from emule i think itas just the normal version
i actually get faster downloads and not cos less bandwith its just overall
dunno but its just seems that way
Posted by: gumby
Hi, drorsdd.
Yeah, I saw your website when I wrote the last post. It was good. I bookmarked it.
Posted by: kylman5000
I downloaded eMule .25b [tarod.16], and i have only 2 words for it. HOLY SHIT!
I was downloading die another day on cable, and finished both cd's in under 2 hours!!!
But that was after i realized i have my download speed capped. ARRR.
I recommend any person who is tierd of kazaa's speed and knows a little about computers, get eMule.
Posted by: Shinigami_[R.I.P.]
I'm barely Dl'ing at 10 kB/s ( I have DSL) but its alright because the file I'm getting isn't on Kazaa and i guess i have to build up my credit until i can DL faster but im currently uploading at my max. right now soo its all good in a way for the people DL'ing from me :) :blink:
Posted by: Paul
I have merged two threads about eMule together.
Posted by: drorsdd
thanks paul
this will help alot
bye dror
Posted by: scribblec
well when share using emule
i get like 35 k/b download rate and about 12 upload
its capped by me
good still
Posted by: drorsdd
paul do u think this thread should be in the
"Other Related P2P Program Discussions" ??
as quit alot of info was gathered in the descutions here/
on the other side this thread is a emule vs k-lite so not sure what location is better.
just me thinking?
c ya

While I am new to emule, wouldn't disabling the credit system allow files to spread faster? Or does that defeat the purpose of the program?--

no the credit sys is what makes emule so gr8 imho , disabling the cs will only hurt the user its only good for releasers that whant to spread their file faster
@unknown1 emule dev team:
I am the one that changed it.. These are some of the reasons why..
1. eMule is used by many users that have different ideas and needs. And a very important user we need to keep in mind is the releaser.. These are the people that makes ED2K run. These people always had to run two different clients just to be able to use the network and release a file. This was punishing them for trying to do the network good.. We then put in upload priorities. This works up to a point. If the releaser decides to download a very popular file himself, that popular file will eventually take over his upload because of the credit system.. At first I didn't see a problem with it, but decided to do a few tests and saw that it was a problem.. Allowing the releaser to disable the credit system while releasing his file stops all this..

v.26d works great, but I don't get it, why are all of y'all having problems with credits? my average d/l will pick up to aroun 50 or 60 kBs, sometimes higher usually within the first half hour to 45 minutes. I also have never had to spend a lot of time in other ppl's queues before starting a download. It's not like I'm downloading off the wall stuff either, I'm talking about films like lotr and caligula, never less than 300 ppl in my queue. However, one thing to think about when configuring your eMule or eDonkey. Bandwidth. Regardless of your rated or real d/l and u/l speeds, don't let your max limit d/l exceed 100 kBs, then set your u/l bandwidth to between 10 and 15% of your d/l max. It's an automatic credit boost and the servers don't mark you as taking more than giving. Also, when you find a real good eMule server, stick with that one consistently.
btw, no way in hell I'm telling you which of the hundreds of servers I use, it rocks and has since day one.

where did u come with that?
doesnt look right at all m8, by telling us to set the ul limit to 10-15% of max dl r u talking about the actual dl cap of our line or the number u put in the dl limits ?
and choosing a server doesnt rally make much dif as long has u have high id and a good ping to the server

I'm on a fast cable connection. I'm currently uploading 42.1k and downloading at 10.3k. My emule runs for days at a time. There are currently 900 users in que.
With all those uploads you would think I'd be downloading faster. However the files that I'm downloading have less than 5 sources. Could this be the reason for the slow speed? Or could it be because I'm connecting to slow users?
I really like this program, maybe even a little more than Kazaa. I really wish I could get faster speeds.--

in emule plus i had 3 files(software) in traffic and they didn't download in 2 days and have over 5-40 sources.
when i copy that edk link from emule and pasted it in shareaza, and that file was downloaded in under 10 min..
why took emule sooo long time and shareaza downloaded it so fast.. (it was file from emule network..)

looks ok for a rare file m8
5 sources giving u about 2kb each so 10kb looks normal, altough its slow in general for ur connection.
rare files are rare and hard to get no? ;)
btw how many sources where u actually dl from and how many sources it found for the file?
Posted by: SideSwiped
Set your d/l limit something less than your real capacity and then the between 10 and 15% of what you had decided a decent d/l capacity for u/l.
And I think what's happening to Jibbler is like what drorsdd says, I go for more popular films so I'll have like 200 sources and I'll d/l from maybe 10 to 20 of them none giving me better than 10kBs, but the cumulative effect can get up to 100kBs, sort of like on kazaa.
Another thing, is servers. If you've got a poor connection or have few sources for a file, try changing servers, you're d/l will pause, but should continue after you change servers, stick with servers in Germany or Korea that specify a high connection. They seem to offer more sources and give better speeds.
