Forcing a download in eMule

Post by mimzy »   0 likes

As you know, it is possible to download one file from one user at a time. The situation is that somebody is sharing 10 big files and a small subtitle file. You need the subtitle file to watch a movie, but your eMule client keeps downloading one of the big files. You can temporarily stop the big download, but instead of getting the subtitle file, your client immediately queues for another big file.

Another scenario is that user A is sharing files F1 and F2; user B is sharing file F2. You want to get F1 ASAP, but your client keeps downloading F2 from users A and B. In this case, it would be optimal to download F1 from user A, but keep downloading F2 from user B (because he does not have F1 anyway).

Is there a way to force eMule to queue for a specific file without stopping all the the other downloads? Changing priority does not seem to help much :roll:
