Why is emule very slow in downloading files?

[ಠдà²]

eMule Very quickly with the files small :01: Very slow with large files :dry:

ًWith Small File's got 60 K/b s . With large File's got 5 to 15 k/b s :blink:

Run your mule 24/7. Thats the classic way of using emule efficiently.
As stated above, if you want speed, use bittorrent, if you want the rare stuff, use emule.

although, if you first started on bittorrent and are just now discovering emule, you'll find it hard to adjust to the speeds and the whole principle. luckily, i started the other way around and have the patience to make the best of it.

Thats the problem with the Mule its great for rare stuff but have to wait months

If u use it right: open ports, share at descent upspeed, then it can be surprisingly fast

Also i have noticed that my isp caps its speed, same as with torrents. But luckily only when there is a lot of traffic, so at night and during the day it works fine, but at evening i just get low id and stuff. And with torrents it is capped to 60-80k... Took me some time to figure out it was my isp, so maybe its that?
