Emule

I get flooded for up to three days after i close emule. Even if I change mac, my ip's are leased for 3 days at a time so the ISP still directs them to my modems mac. Just reset the modem and block emule in your firewall when you exit. That's about all you can do.

according to my observation

balamm's method with shareaza doesn't work. I've been uploading locked at 5k and the download never exceeded that.

looks like shareaza has a better credit system than emule? :blink:

[b] Never tried any of those other peer to peers. It works with all I have tried though.

I was just getting tired of bandwidth restrictions and don't want to pay $10,000 :blink:

I was just getting tired of bandwidth restrictions and don't want to pay $10,000 :blink: to have a dedicated line put in. I ain't that serious about it but I would like to play with some more protocols and features in win2k advanced server.
Shaw claims I'm not even allowed to connect to them with this OS.

The emule credit system doesn't work. If you're on a monthly cap, you can't afford to have constant uploads and no downloads.
Use NetLimiter to balance that.
Set emule to unlimited downloads and 80% uploads. Then set netlimiter to your 1/3 ratio or is it 1/4 ?? About 5k to start.
Whatever, if you start getting downloads, then you can increase your upload bandwidth accordingly.
The Emule program won't know the difference. You can tweak the connection type in emule to get better results too.
If you're using XP with the built in firewall, get a different firewall to get yourself a high ID. Don't turn it off, emule is filthy with hacks. Sygate works well with emule. Just sit back and watch all the blocked connection attempts to system services coming from emule traffic.

again i am stunned at balamm's experience and resourcefulness at software



Edit: I use zonealarm and I notice I am being flooded after I close emule(takes a long time to close it too ). and watch za block all those access attempts at my port 4662

i just change my mac in my router and get a new ip

Emule

why are you considering a change? no enough upload bandwidth?

edit: hey balamm does that trick of yours work on shareaza? I am limiting my upload at 5k but I dont see my download increasing, it's locked at 5k as well....

I'd say it's the same, yeah. I am paying something like 43 dollars a month including tax. I dont really care about the personal webspace or the emails, cuz i dont use them. shaw is a little better att he download speed...4 Mb. other than that i'd say it's the same with my telus adsl.

I never download above the 1Mb speed. not sure why but just rarely download at that speed.

so i am ok with it. if I switch now i'd have to buy the cable modem again. it's another investment

I think you have to buy the modem or you have to pay a monthly fee to rent the modem.

Well that $39.95 turns into $49.95 pretty quick, then add utilities tax, GST, PST, Transit, blah blah blah and it's up around $65 a month. Maybe a bit more.

The 4mb would be rare, if you had 10 occurances of directx downloading at full speed you might see 2mb. No servers can give that kinda speed generally. Not basic file or website servers anyway.

I think it's equivalent to adsl. About 512k instead of the advertised 2mb line on regular broadband. $20 - $25 a month for lightspeed. You should be able to get 6 months at about $25 with high speed. No need to buy the modem.
