Emule or Torrents

Which does not falsify my thesis, does it?

I'm just shooting in the dark, man.

You can drive by bike or by car, and the fact that a car is faster and does not require actual work to run does not make a bike nonsense, right?

And missing the deer.

Nope.

And eMule isn't made nonsense either just because other networks/protocols are preferred by some people.

That's what it was about, initially.

I've played around with emule a few times, but I must have had it set up wrong, because in my experience, it was painfully slow. Don't know what I had wrong, but I was lucky to get 20 kbps. It was almost like dial up lol. I stuck with newsgroups & torrents, & the occasional ddl.

Getting high download speeds out of eMule is a bit of an art form. Some files can download fast, but many are slow. That's what the developers wanted. Emule gives higher priority to rare files, and while this speeds up the download speed of rare files, it also slows down the speed of common files.

Because of way everything is queue'd in ed2k, maxing out one's bandwidth on eMule generally requires downloading numerous files simultaneously, and overlapping them.

In contrast, I recall sometimes I'd open eMule and find myself uploading before it even finished connecting

You may be able to parallel some of the concepts in both protocols (servers are like trackers, Kad is like DHT), but BT and eMule aren't the same.
