I'd also like to know if Emule is usually this slow.

[vivitron 15]

i usu get good speed, but it depends on popularity file, ul of person, etc....

the files go to the "emule download" folder-look in the options in Emule, itll say there somewhere

Well, rumor has it that emule (or edonkey) got it's name from the animal called Mule (duh), but as to why they chose this animal....well basicly it's because the mule is known to be relaiable but slow, and that is exactly what e-mule is, very reliable (practicly no fakes or corrupted files ;) ) but relatively slow speeds....my speeds on emule range from 3kbps to 25kbps (ocasional peaks of 60-90kbps), on a average of around 11kbps. Not spectacular speeds, but it gets the job done.

And about where U'r downloads go, just click on "Preferences" (last button to the right), and go to "Directories" (5 down from "general"), and the directory under "Incoming files" is where U'r downloads go ;)

This is about what I get too. The speeds aren't that impressive, but the files always seem to work. I've never had any problems with corruption or anything else. :)

The longer you leave emule running (and sharing stuff) the better your speeds go, i've had speeds up around 50 kB/s or so for extended amounts of time, it just takes patience :)

From my experience of eMule, I would have to say that it is usually very slow for downloading and also it takes a long time for the files to start downloading once selected for download...

I am a BroadBand user, incase anyone was wondering... ;) :huh:

[ijc_2003]

the only thing that annoys me with emule is the upload part i wont to set it to 2 files instead of 5 thats
giving me that way it would get files spreaded quicker.

3 is minimum
on plus it is anyway

[Wizzandabe]

Emule ahs always been slow for me i hate it.

[RealitY]

Not my favorite by any means, use Shareaza as it has the mule built in, and can get additional sources from G1 and G2.

[scribblec]

u cant really tlk reality
u think es5 is good
:blink:

[Wizzandabe]

for some reason emule hates msn messenger. well on my pc that is.

[downloader2008]

Well, one of the reasons that it is slow is that because of Sharereactor, there is a high demand of files wanting to be downloaded and a person can only upload so much.... a TIP would be is to sort your queue rankings from lowest to highest by clicking PRIORITY ^ (the arrow (^) has to be up...) If the lowest queue rate is like 20+, exit out of emule to clear the sources, and try connecting to a different server. That usually helps with me.....

@ijc_2003: nice sig! lol :lol:
