On a different forum, some guy listed the compression thingy as a method of getting faster downloads. I tried to ask him what the mechanics behind this was, as I could see no connection between those two. I didn't really get an answer, just that "Hey, it works for me"...
Can any one confirm this claim?
I don't see how this person could see a link between compressing temp files and increasing download speed. What he probably meant was that with some downloads, there is a compression during the transfer (i.e. emule will compress bitmap files) so this will speed up the download.
