What Is Emule / Edonkey?: emule is a accepted peer2peer / p2p book administration client, it's an accessible antecedent adaptation of edonkey and uses the aforementioned ed2k / edonkey2000 p2p network. Best of the edonkey tips are accordingly applicable. Emule is a little like napster, the differences from napster include: It has abounding servers in abounding countries which are absurd to be shut down. It allows administration of any book blazon (not aloof mp3's). It does assorted antecedent download, i.e. it will retrieve the book from abounding places at once, it can accord a actual fast download (like 60 Kbytes/sec on 512/256 ADSL).
The absolute backbone of emule is the content, the bulk of aerial affection downloadable agreeable beats best any added p2p networks currently, this is abnormally so for ample files like movies (700 megs plus). A able faculty of association is created by ed2k articulation sites which sets emule and edonkey afar from best added p2p networks. A absolute ed2k agreeable articulation guarentees the book you download is correct, the articulation itself contains a 'hash' (long cardinal or string) that says absolutely what abstracts the accomplished book will have, you charge never download a 'fake file' again!
See the ed2k links at the basal of this column for added details.
Here's a few tips to serve as a adviser which should admonition advance emule download speeds, I'll column added as I get annular to it, amuse add admonition or acquaint us about your emule settings and tweaks if I haven't covered it
In no accurate order:
Dont pen your emule in!: emule (along with added p2p progs) behaves like a 'server', that agency it wants to acquire admission from added 'peers'. If you assurance that emule is relativly defended afresh you should acquiesce it *full access* to the internet. It's accessible to accept that active a firewall and alone acceptance emule to affix in assertive agency makes you added secure, I anticipate that is ambitious thinking! If you run a firewall afresh I'd admonish acceptance any affiliation to emule both udp an tcp admission and outgoing, annihilation abroad will not acquiesce edonkey to assignment at its best.
You can analysis how 'penned in' your emule is by attractive at the basal appropriate of the applicant window, if you are affiliated to a server afresh the little figure should acquire blooming arrows annular the logo, e.g.
Sometimes the server is too active to accord you a able connection, try re-connecting to addition server if the id is commonly aerial (green icon) but you acquire been accustomed a low id / emule is bound in (icon is yellow). The cardinal is an ID which emule gets back it connects to a server, a low cardinal (like 150 or so) indicates you are penning your emule in, the cardinal needs to be in the abounding millions for accurate emule usage.
Another acceptable antecedent of advice on this is at http://www.edonkey2000.com/documenta...reachable.html.
Emule can use configurable ports, the ports it will use are listed in
'preferances' > 'connection' in the 'client port' area.
If you are abaft a NAT / router these ports charge to be mapped to your centralized arrangement IP abode and any firewalls you acquire should acquiesce these ports to be connectable from the internet. The anchorage on the larboard is TCP the one on the appropriate is UDP. On abundance I acquiesce both entering from any IP by configuring my firewall / NAT. I don't alone accept emule is absolutely defended (nocomputer application is w/o bugs!) but forceing emule to affix via a server may not accomplish it any added defended or could alike accomplish it beneath defended (in approach at least), it depends on what accomplishment is found, aloof accumulate an eye out for fresh versions and updates
Cap the upload: (on a broadband affiliation anyway) The acumen to do this isn't so you allotment less, emule and the edonkey arrangement needs bodies administration or no one gets anything. Back you are downloading abstracts for anniversary little bit that emule downloads it charge accelerate an 'ack' (acknowlegement) if your upload beck is active at your affiliation absolute these 'acks' wont get back/will be slowed bottomward so you won't be beatific the abutting little bit. Set the upload cap to about 70% to 90% of your absolute upload absolute accommodation should advance download speed, so for instance if you are on 512/256 ADSL the max upload is about 25k/sec, set the upload cap at about 20k/sec in the options. Emule has a congenital in arrangement mechanism, if you set the upload beneath than 10 or 11k/sec you will be 'punished' (i.e. your download acceleration will be severly capped which I anticipate is kinda good!). You can acquaint if you acquire set the cap too low because the upload acceleration will be set to a anchored bulk back you abutting and re-open the window.
The ambience is in 'preferances' > 'connection' in the 'limits' allotment on the right.
Use a links website: I anticipate application a 'ed2k links' website is the way to go, abounding bodies use these sites and accordingly the listed adaptation of a book is acceptable to be accessible from added sources (better spread). Analytic emule / edonkey arrangement yourself is acceptable for things which are a little abstruse but you can about get some absolutely abundant annual on what to get abutting by attractive at sites which annual lots of emule / edonkey agreeable (see the ed2k links thread). Additionally analysis out a annual alleged jigle (again see links thread) as it does a acceptable job of analytic the edonkey / emule arrangement and will appearance the altered names a book is aggregate with.
Emule affiliation tweaks: If you use NT/XP or win2k afresh you can absolutely abuse up some of the settings, bold your router / NAT and PC that runs emule will handle it. Win98 doesn't do such a acceptable job managing arrangement admission and a apathetic PC (p300) won't handle abundant tweaking either. Some router / firewalls will discharge the copy at the ample bulk of entries in the NAT table if you abuse these too aerial (you acquire been warned!). These are the ethics I use and they accept to assignment for me, try tweaking them is all I advance and let us apperceive how you get on!
Some accepted agreeable is so able-bodied advance there are actually 1000's of bodies administration the aforementioned file, emule and the edonkey arrangement is actual acceptable at award sources for the book you want, this is area you client's config could absolute or admission your download speed.
On the admission awning (see below) you can set the 'max sources per file', I acquire set abundance to 2500, I acquire apparent this absolute accomplished but 2500 seems abundant generally. The added ambience 'max connections' is absolute admission for your client, back best of the time I download 2 accepted files at already (tops) I acquire abundance set to alert the 'max sources per file' (I agnosticism I anytime get to this limit!). You can analysis if the 'max connections' is anytime reached, it's on the statistics window
'Statistics' (window) > 'Connection' > 'Max Affiliation Absolute Reached'
I acquire never apparent abundance appearance annihilation added than 0 (i.e. absolute not reached).
The added absorbing ambience is in the
'Preferances' > 'Extended Settings'
The 'max. fresh admission / 5secs'
Here afresh is barnacle on your OS and the acceleration of your PC as able-bodied as the NAT (I doubtable best NAT setups can handle absolutely a aerial value). This ambience tells the applicant how abounding fresh admission it can accomplish in a set aeon of time (obvious really!). I acquire abundance set to 1000, it's not activity to accomplish as big a aberration as the 'max sources per file' (above) but is will admonition a baby bulk back you alpha a fresh book that is able-bodied spread.
The aftermost ambience on the aforementioned window is 'use acclaim system', if you accept best bodies acquire this angry on and you about-face it on additionally it will acceleration up transfers amid you and others aggravating to get the aforementioned file. The way that emule identifies and remembers audience has afflicted (from 29c the fresh behaviour is the default) to use a different generated accessible clandestine key brace (see emule 29c accessible for added details) which agency that you will still accumulate your credits alike if your IP changes.
Download priority: On the capital 'transfer' window you can appropriate bang and set the antecedence of a download, this advantage is acclimated to actuate which of the files you are downloading get priority. Emule stops you downloading assorted files from one being at the aforementioned time, so area addition applicant may acquire all the files you charge you can alone be queued for one of those, so set this to 'high' for the best burning download (or conceivably set it 'high' for the download with the atomic sources on the network).
Faster chain turnround (credit system) This is a little abuse you can do if you are apathetic cat-and-mouse for a specific book and you acquire added files shared.
Let's say you acquire 20 completed files aggregate and you alpha downloading a fresh file. It's acceptable that your upload chain is abounding of bodies downloading the added files you are sharing, this stops bodies downloading the fresh book from you as they get ashore about bottomward the queue, in about-face your acclaim appraisement is bargain as you download genitalia from them but they don't download from you.
A way annular this is to goto the 'shared files' tab and acquisition the book you are downloading, set this to 'release' (the fresh book will alone arise already you acquire downloaded a few megs of it). Ambience to absolution gives antecedence to the book and bodies aggravating to get this book from you get antecedence in your upload queue, appropriately acceptance faster turn-round of credits for the file.
It's not that bright it makes that abundant aberration (or conceivably any) but if you are apathetic try it out and let me apperceive what you think, it's alone advantageous if you allotment added files (hopefully you do! )
Security If you acquire win2k or XP afresh a acceptable little aegis advantage added afresh is the "Run eMule as Unprivileged User". It works by creating a user annual on your PC that has beneath admission to acute files and arrangement controls. If you commonly login to your PC as an Administrator akin user afresh this is a absolutely acceptable affair to about-face on. Ambience is in "Preferences > Security" bottomward the bottom.
Kad Arrangement Kad is an alternating way for audience to acquisition anniversary added rather than application the capital ed2k server arrangement (it's a acceptable abstraction to use both Kad and the ed2k servers).
There's not a abundant accord to say about this, aloof about-face it on and affix it. To accredit Kad goto "Preferences > Connection" and analysis "Kad" in the basal appropriate corner. To affix to Kad should be simple, goto the Kad figure at the top of Emule and the aboriginal time columnist "Bootstrap", it should aloof connect. If you attending in the "Servers" window beneath "My Info" it should appearance affiliated (note that you don't appetite it to accommodate the chat "Firewalled" - back you won't get as acceptable connectivity that way).
Patience Aftermost but not least, fresh users of emule may do all the tweaking and baddest a able-bodied advance book from a accepted ed2k links site, watch the awning for an hour and admiration why they acquire alone downloaded a few kbytes.
Emule works by downloading off audience and uploading to clients, abounding bodies run emule 24/7, they apparently acquire over 1000 bodies cat-and-mouse to download article from them. You are alone activity to get to the arch of their chain afterwards some waiting. If I attending at the stats on my emule it shows best of the bodies currently downloading from me acquire waited over a day to get a download (this isn't abnormal I think!).
I advance abrogation it active 24/7 if you can, endlessly and restarting it may beggarly you apart your abode in the queue. As a asperous appraisal emule doesn't absolutely get activity till afterwards a few hours, sometimes longer, the best you can leave it on the better!
A seperate cilia exists for ed2k links amuse add added ed2k links if you apperceive of them!
