Which would you say is better? What are some of the pros and cons of the two? I've never used emule, so I'm curious.
In a nutshell, eMule's retention for old stuff is fantastic, but the wait times and speeds are exasperating. With torrents it's the exact opposite.
Definitely, torrents for new stuff.Quote:
Emule or Torrents

You can find lots of stuff on emule but ,torrents are better if you want to download new stuff.
I consider Emule a very useful tool in finding rare files. When I'm looking for something, I first search on Usenet, and if I can't find it, then Bittorrent or filehosts like Rapidshare. Then eMule last in line.
There are a lot of things on ED2K that can't be found anywhere else. Just don't be in a hurry :)
Whenever i search for a rare album or movie i can always find it on emule . This is the power of emule , the rare files which you can't find on trackers
Emule still better atm
And why would that be..? :pinch:Quote:

The BT speed depends on its seeders, just like eMule's, BTW. "BT is better in terms of speed" is nonsense.
Totally right, although a lot of users here use private trackers, where there are much more seeders than leechers, which makes popular downloads blazingly fast. Some concerns such as the BT "credit crunch" come with that, though, but nothing's perfect. Private sites have tried to make up for it with bonus points and even ratio-free schemes.Quote:

the big thing that works for torrents is its private trackers option which gives it the clear edge
i would prmarly use torrent but if there are files on emule which you dont find on torrent, why not.
Torrents are better :D
I'm with torrents since I haven't tried emule until now.Why?Simple.Because I get all I need from torrents.
You should give emule a shot if you can' find something on torrents
Is it safer to use emule rather than public trackers?
They're both just as insecure. Where do you live, and can you be sent letters for downloading there?Quote:

Torrents
torrents, obviously!
My favourite forum for emule links is fileheaven.org but registration is closed there for some years . Another good one is sharethefiles.com
My favorites F*N SCC
We are talking about emule links :PQuote:

Exactly, people who bitch and moan about Emule speeds probably aren't members of a great forum like fileheaven. I know when i get something from there it will always have tons of sources and it will start downloading right away at good speeds. Certainly not private tracker speeds, but not sit around and wait for days speed either. I also know I'm always getting the best quality releases, as far as video quality is concerned. If you want common scene releases though stick with trackers or rapidshare.Quote:

That's true for new stuff but for old rare stuff emule is better . There is also rapidshare but it's not free.
Emule is not that slow , you can get new files with some minutes of delay instead of using torrents
i prefer torrents.
I used to have an account at fileheaven and now its gone due to inactivity. fml
Most of the times emule is not necessary , but there are files that you can only find at emule
My emule/edonkey doesn't work anymore. Back in the day the server list was phenemonal. Now it's sh**.
I can post a list of working and trusted servers if you're interested. :)
sb-innovation client works like a charm so far ;) I had no problem with servers so far
Most of the server.met lists out there are full of fake servers. There's only a few you can actually trust.
That'd definitely be helpful if you could. I used to use emule quite a bit, but stopped after DDL/torrents alleviated most of needs, but there is still some stuff I'd like to check up on emule.Quote:
