edonkey/mule clients??? - P2P-Zone

AweShucks · 25-03-03, 12:34 PM

I'm currently using emule plus and it works ok but is there any donkey/mule clients that don't force such a drastic ratio for bandwidth.
I'm having a hard time getting anything that's respectable for speeds. Mainly because I can only upload at about 17k though my cable company claims 25k

The only way I can use it without killing my connection is to set my upload at about 13k which limits me to 75k down.

Any input and suggestions are appreciated

I tried mldonkey (but didn't work because my crippled connection) but it was very nice. Has its own GUI but can accessed via a browser as well.

You shouldn't be seeing any upload/download ratio being enforced, if you have set your upload limit to be >= 10KB/s. All ed2k clients enforce a ratio of 1:3 (or 1:4) for upload limits below 10KB/s, but from there on it is unlimited download.

There could of course be other factors that are stopping you from downloading at your maximum bandwidth, most notably the lack of good sources that can drench your download.

Good sources is a good point! very possible? Been at this for 2 weeks but have yet to break whatever limit it shows yet

I have yet to see my max go over the limit yet. Been online for up to 12hrs at times with little luck

I've not heard alot of good things about the mlDonkey. And it doesn't seem to be real welcomed to the network. But thanks for the suggestion I'll keep it in mind

I don't know if I have enough time to try all these

OneMX has worked well for me but basically it's just an old version (24). Also giving high priority to all your shared files is supposed to speed things up although nothing seems to work for me.

Thanks Napho I think I have that one downloaded just never installed it yet. I read one of your earlier posts

I don't know if it's just me or if this whole edonkey network is a touch over rated? Yes there is great content

But the queues are horrible. I thought WinMX was bad but edonkey tops the cake

And the uploaders come faster than flies do to a manure pile

By the time I connect to the servers I want, my queue is already over loaded!
But I never have a problem finding sources at-least

Just have a problem finding sources that actually start
