this isnt really a emule question, more of a board issue. Sometimes it will display it as a link when you copy and paste hash, but other times it will just display it as a hash. This varies from board to board, but if copy and paste into a normal post doesnt generate a hash link then tryQuote:

thanks mate!!
actually, there is something: when i copied the ed2k link and pasted it in the israeli eMule sharing site, it wasnt a URL... why is this?!
tralalala
"a href="ed2k://|file|filename.type|00000|00000|">Video file/a"
placing < before the first a, and < > on the /a.
Video file is just the name of the link and the content in the " " are the hash itself.
Try using the other copy's to see if they work.
Or you can read up on the board's how to post links pages :) Most tend to have them.
I can get 65/75KB if i have a lot in my queue :) ...overall i can get more speed and sources than i ever would using kazaa.Quote:

emule is the worst p2p Ive ever used takes about a week to start your downloads then goes at 1.2 k constant then stops at 99% finished
Not as easy to use as Kazaa, but benefits outweight any disadvantages.
....
I never really gotten along with emule. It (like BT) has problems with firewalls on my system and I found once it got up and running I couldn't download anything (downloads are always "queued"). In the end I just got rid of it. I find K++ easier to use and haven't really had too many problems with viruses and mislabeled files (most of which can be avoided using a little common sense) and so don't really feel the need to download emule and try it again.
However one of the main problems that is going to appear for K++ soon is the fact that RN has stopped working on it. This will mean it'll gradually fall back. If RN was continuing to develop and improve K++ then I'm sure it would continue to be the more popular choice :)
thanks mate.
one thing: next tome, put all of those 3 posts to one... compress and zip lol
tralalala
:) the third post i tried to see what method i would need to get it working on this board...still trying :P
http://www.fileheaven.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=113
http://forum.sharereactor.com/viewtopic.php?t=165794
Both completely different methods.
I'm sure the board you use will have similar post.
wow, thanks, that one from sharereactor was great help!!!! thanks again mate :)
tralalala
we just have to spread the word about k lite its superior to all the other posers lol
success???Quote:

Say why K-Lite is better than emule :P? lol.
http://emuleplus.sourceforge.net/forum/ind...?showtopic=3475
Here are my reasons why emule is a better P2P
you'll need to scroll down a bit.
lol, no need for that YET... i suggest we do that once eMule is over the 4 million mark... os then we have a reason to worry lol
tralalala
what about when kazaa's number drops then? :)
kazaas numbers will NOT drop unless the damn RIAA or MPAA find a way of getting people sharing stuff (which for some funny reason i think will not happen... lol)
well, im off to get ready for basketball practice, bye for now!!!!!
tralalala
could you send me a PM later on about what emule site you were trying to post on. Could be a site i havent added to my current list:
http://emuleplus.sourceforge.net/forum/ind...?showtopic=2186
lol... i didnt know you could read hebrew.. lol, here it is anyway:
The Lionetwork
tralalala
a man of many talents i am lol jk.
thanks, helpful for hebrew reading users :D
>>ADDED to list.
i wonder.......... how many hebrew readers ARE there in this forum?! :unsure: spooky... lol
tralalala
my guess, most of the people from israel :)
lol... youll be surprised how many russians we have that emigrated.... and dont even know how to say yes, no, please and thank you!!!!!!
tralalala
*bump* ;)
come on guys, cast your votes, we need a good look at what the majority of this forums members think about eMule and k-lite battling it out.
p.s: i stopped using eMule, so is there a way i can change my vote to k-lite?! :unsure: cos eMule downloaded me some damn trojan so i ha to get my computer reformatted!"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tralalala
emule downloaded some trojans? should it be you add some trojans to your list? :P
You can still do the same through kazaa...besides a good anti-virus prog should have stopped it dead.
If eMule is faster i will use it, until then Kazaa RULES
I don't think it will defeat, because it's too slow, too much queuing
lately, quite a few of my mates got "virused" by eMule downloading crappy virusses, trojans and worms.
i got my HD reformatted (and got an 80GB HD added :P)
so from now on... k-lite rules for god!!!!!
p.s: i didnt get an answer: can i have my vote changed from eMule to k-lite?! please?! pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?
tralalala
Also you can get viruses through Kazaa Lite... :rolleyes:
which is what i said a few posts back. I guess kazaa users become to immune to the fact that viruses can occur using kazaa since they've been bombarded by too many. :P
Yes but they can say "do you have a cartis moadon" perfectly !!! ;)Quote:

lol... yeah
also, i guess i have only been virused by k-lite 3 times after like 1 year whereas i got "trojaned" by eMule after 1 month...
tralalala
I think most people are moveing over to emule in hopes that the damn RIAA wont follow them there :P
people seem to be freaked out about all the people who use kazaa and get sued , its a very good program too it just needs faster download speeds :P that credit system bites but if you disable downloading in full chunks its a bit faster (because after its done downloading your 9mb chunk it will put you on the persons waiting list agian but if you disable it then you can keep downloading the file until its done)
the credit system has very little effect on priority. Indeed the more you share to a user the more you have, but as venom pointed out a while back, the priority of a file is more important.
You do know by disabling the chunk download so that the file is as if it was one big one will mean there isnt anyway to redownload parts again if the file is corrupted. If you meant to still have them retain the chunks system but allow a user to download from another user or more till it is complete then theres no way of making sure the downloader will upload that file/chunks out to others after they have completed it....so you'll end up with a dead file. Not much use on any p2p's.
lol thisiswhoweare... im gettin freaked out cos of how much you know about eMule... did you do a PhD on eMule?? lolol
tralalala
well im a betatester for emuleplus since may, so ive gotten used to how it all works :) i wish i was doing a PHD on it, it'll be a lot easier than the course im doing now... :( :P
which would be...? :book:Quote:

games programming.
well, maybe a lot easier... but i think game programming is amazing.. one of the most amazing and cool things around mate.
what are you currently programming??
tralalala
well my programming really sucks....might be retaking this yr again.
I havent actually gotten round to anything which i could fully use to make a game, but at the moment im studying how to code simple graphics (how to draw lines and triangles and such).... :blink:
Sorry to say this, thiswhoweare, but you're wrong.Quote:

well i think kazaa's reward system is based on how much files you share (ie in size) and emules is how much you have uploaded. AFAIK in kazaa there is no file that stores how much a user has uploaded to you, or how much you have downloaded from a user so i'm assuming the participation level does work on amount currently being shared.
Could be wrong though.
Kazaa's participation level is determined by how much you upload and download, not how much data you have in your shared folder.
Here's the maths:
(Uploads in MB / Downloads in MB) * 100 = Your participation level
Kazaa's Participation Level
The big difference is that eMule stores your credits in other people's computers and Kazaa's participation level is stored in your computer (it's stored in the registry).
This makes it easier for people to hack Kazaa's PL (I can still remember the old Rocko hack! :D ), but not eMule's credit system.
That's why I don't understand why everybody complains about Kazaa and the participation level, but for eMule it seems to be alright.
Why? Because eMule is freeware and open source? Is that why eMule shouldn't be questioned?
Even MLDonkey's devs have questioned eMule's credit system. See here the positive and the negative effects.
Wether we like it or not, it's the credit system that's responsible for the massive queues and for slowing down the whole network.
if you notice the AFAIK and "I think" in my post it was added because i wasnt certain. Although i feel pretty sure they are different in calculating credit (btw kazaa says it improves credit for indicating integrity of files, which emule doesnt do). Anyway it isnt important, both networks work differently to each other, hence the difference in speeds.
"That's why I don't understand why everybody complains about Kazaa and the participation level, but for eMule it seems to be alright."
you kinda answered it.

Whats the point of having credit systems where everyone has equal credit. Might as well get rid of it if thats the case.
I have tried e-mule. I don't like it.
For me it's K++, Soulseek, BitTorrent and DC. That covers everything I want.
Yes, Kazaa and eMule have different ways of calculating the credits, but it's the same principle.Quote:

Remember that Kazaa tried to copy the ed2k credit system with its own PL.
People's feedback on the PL was awful. People couldn't download anything with a decent speed and in decent time.
They had to upload lots of data to improve their PL, which for newbies didn't make any sense since they were just starting and had no useful files to share.
This then led to people sharing their whole hard drives in order to upload something and get a higher PL.
The network got full of viruses and trojans because of this.
Renamed files were/are still a problem because of the PL too.
Example: I have a porn movie and a low PL. I'll just rename my porn movie to "The Matrix Revolutions" and watch my PL skyrocket.
This is why most eMule servers limit the number of your shared files, and why it has a fake report system.
If eMule were as popular as Kazaa and if it didn't have these 2 features, it would be pretty much like FastTrack.
Conclusion: eMule has a similar crappy reward system as Kazaa, which slows down the network. It has, however, better features to enforce the credit system and keep the network clean.
How did I answer it? :blink:Quote:

Are you saying it's OK for eMule to have a crappy credit system, but not Kazaa? Why?
If you don't have a problem with eMule's credit system, then I'm sure Kazaa's PL won't be a problem too.
I think both reward systems are unfair. That's why I won't suck up for eMule. Why should I? Just because it's an open source freeware program?
No thanks.
Exactly. Get rid of it!Quote:

BitTorrent and K-Lite both use the "first-come, first-serve" method, which, as you can see by the speeds, works.
No credits and no priviliges whatsoever. Everybody is equal, as it should be.
