Ed2k - Preview -

[huuramis]

just wondering if you can preview the files you are downloading from edonkey2k ? ?? ....

and if there is a way to download fast from it because im on dialup and i got told if i ahre more stuff i download quicker, but i shared my 16gb+ of mp3's and it took a fkn long time to analyze it all, but im still downloading at about 0.8k and 1.4kb if im lucky. i dont really care bout that, but i really wanna know how to preview the files you download ?

[4play]

try right clicking the file and preview.

videolan (http://www.videolan.org) is also excellent for previewing your files. i just cant remember which file you have to open with it.

i think its called a part file in your temp directory.

[huuramis]

when i right click it doesnt say preview. do i have to download that program u posted so preview comes up ?

[4play]

no its a seperate program that can be used to preview the temp files that edonkey should be making.

[huuramis]

ooh awesome dude, thnx for the help.

[huuramis]

also is there a site with verified ed2k files ?

Umm... are you kidding ? www.sharereactor.com is by far the largest verifieds site of any network (in fact, i'm pretty sure it's bigger than all the biggest verifieds sites for all other networks put together)... i'm surprised you haven't heard of it.

As for previewing, one thing that's bad is that ed2k will download chunks from all over the file. So, you have almost no chance to get a normal video. Verifying files is useless with a preview in edonkey because ShareReactor has pretty much all the movies on the network...(check the forum if u can't find it on the site)

oooh ok dude thanks, is this for edonkey only ? ? and also how come the people that have files on edonkey dont share them on kazaa ??

[riesdepies]

If you want to preview avi's from within emule without using additional software (like VideoLan or AviPreview) I recommend you change your settings in emule to let emule try to download the first and last chunks of files first.
Find it under Preferences|Files

Yeah, ShareReactor is a long-time donkey-only site... it also has an edonkey search engine, i think it's www.jigle.com ... but of course, the hashes work on Overnet too.

As for why edonkey files are often not shared on Kazaa, it's because hardcode edonkey users (with good servers) usually hate the FastTrack network. They're just being foolish if you ask me, but you can't deny that these guys can usually get any file real fast on edonkey. The thing that's generally wrong with them is that they don't even know the FastTrack also has a hashing system.

So, yeah, edonkey files aren't often shared on FastTrack by the 'gurus', but they are still shared. Besides, FastTrack isn't really good for archives due to the lack of a good ICH system.

I tend to use Emule+ now, havent used kazaa in a very long time. Probably since March. I dont share my downloads on kazaa because my upload is nearly at its max speed, so it wouldnt be much help uploading to kazaa users at the same time.
Also fasttracks hash system isnt as well developed as edonkey/emules hashing process.

Use NetLimiter (http://www.netlimiter.com/) to manage your internet traffic. (cracks.am for cracks)

Emule has its own preview button just go into your options and select try to download first and last chunks first then once u have the begining chunk u can preview

i admit edsk has more fiesl, ( like 10 million more ) ... but i still dont like it because my im dialup and i download at like 1kb.... its not dialup friendly at all. its not even fileahre friendly. its just got more files and thats about it. is there a site like sharereactor with kazaa hashes? ..
