Emule is so slow for me

"My point is that we should welcome new posts and posters. Or we may end up in a situation where there are only 3 new posts per day."
Agree but on ExeTools I saw topics much closer to reversing than emule question. They were deleted (still wondering why).

dyn!o:

If you have questions about why posts or threads get deleted, address them to me by PM. I'm the one who makes most of those decisions. Generally it is because, for whatever reason, they strike me as having no general useful purpose. It is a judgment call which I attempt to exercise with some forethought.

Here the subject was about a method of acquiring software utilized by many of our users and an inquiry about how the speed of that process might be improved. Such a question has, at least, the potential for a discussion of programming issues related to things which are generally discussed here.

Let me also repeat a comment I have posted several times before. Address your comments to the subject of the Post, not the poster. That also is my job.

JMI: I have no questions. Expressed my thoughts only (not criticism but contemplation).

The rules are fine for me.

Anyway back to the topic,
There a couple of things you can try :

1 Set the ports to different ports than the default

A number of ISP are limiting traffic on the default ports for emule so it's better to change them. In the Connections tab under Preferences you can set the TCP and UDP ports for the client port and the UDP port for Kadmilia. Just set them to anything you want

2. Check if your ports are open to access from the outside (no firewall blocking them)

If you don't do that you will get a low id
For this you can go to h__p://tdn.no-ip.org/connection_test and test the different ports you entered

3. Test your connection speed and enter the exact numbers in the settings of emule

What many people don't realize is that having the settings right in the wizard when it asks what your connection is, is very important.
To do this go to h__p://www.broadbandreports.com/stest to test your connection and then click on the wizard to set your connection type accordingly (on the bottom of the windows there is a way to enter numbers manually, enter the one you found there)


Hope this helps
