eMule Help

Post by Amadeus »   0 likes

D/L'ed and installed. Turned off firewall. Added everyone to friends for the movie I wanted. Still Nothing. Let me know which Option/window to Screenshot for review. I'll shoot them and load them below.

Thx.

1. Don't download the emule client from emule. Get it from the website/ home page of the client where you can be sure you're not getting some tampered version. http://emule-project.net for eMule, http://emuleplus.info for eMule Plus, etc. You'll get help there for your settings, etc.

2. You seem to be OK. Do you have a LowID?

3. Depending on the speed of your connection you might need to add a few more files. You need to have several hundred sources total. Then you just wait. Wait long enough and you'll get your turn.

What is a LowID? Also, I downloaded from the first homepage link.

Inasmuch as the Set-Up sticky in this section; https://www.first-loves.com/forums/v ... php?t=2286

Those settings look nothing like the options in the version I downloaded. And unfortunately, the only way to install this program is get it via eMule. lol. which, I cannot even get to work.

Edit: OK, there is activity today. I'll keep you posted.

Unless someone has recommended a specific version of emule, which is only available on emule ;)

Did you check your downloads actually have sources ? If you are downloading anything which shows "last seen complete - never" you could be waiting a long time ! By the colour scheme (I think) blue (dark) is good, and red is very bad (missing parts). You can usually tell how much you will get if you hover over the download, it tells you how many parts available.

Good luck.

Man, I feel like Joe Dirt in relation to eMule here. Looks like my problem is broadband.

Also, I finally d/l the Set-Up guide posted by Rich and installed it. It created a second separate eMule program. :think

Do this

Change your emule default ports from 4661 (and 4671 if you use KAD) to something like 4665 and 4675, then on your BB router, allow port forwarding in both directions for only these ports and these applications (do for both directions). If you have a personal firewall, allow it all ports TCP (and UDP if you use KAD) both directions - this application ONLY. That should work.

This is the way my connection is presently set. I need to change my client ports?

Upload limits look very high - they recommend you have this set to a fraction of downlaod (remember BB upload bandwidth is much lower than download). Recommend you set that to about 24/18Kps.

Other than that looks fine and should work provided you are port forwarding TCP 26121 and UDP 26131 for the EMule application (both directions set but not strictly needed).

What does the log say when you start e-mule ?

8/9/2007 11:17:12 AM: New client ID is 7148654
8/9/2007 11:17:13 AM: Received 4 new servers


I changed to the ports you recommended. See what happens.
