Well I am not saying emule is bad believe it or not emule is very effective when it comes to spreading chunks for 2g file swarming network compared to 3g file swarming networks like torrent. eMule is just one of many clients that uses ED2K and happens to me the major client now with majority of the users over 4+ million users.

Only thing I dislike about eMule is that it is the ONLY client on ED2K with HUGE queue implementation, that is not effective when spreading small files. This is why I share in ED2K and don't download from it.
 
Good point. Emule has many hard-to-find files. Its tragic just how deeply corrupted it has become. Reminds me of what happened to Kazaa back in the days... I think its just a testament to the relatively short lifespan for any unmonitored, open filesharing protocol like that.
 
eMule is perfect to find rare and old stuff, but it takes around a week to download something because it barely connects to any peers, and people cap their upload speed... Good luck if you download at more than 25k/s for more than an hour! And thats if you stay connected to a peer for longer than an hour!
 
Well emule is NOT what it used to be before they raided the Big Bang and number 1 through 6 servers!

Those were the largest servers on emule and had the most "rare" stuff.

You can still find "rare" stuff on emule, but not NEARLY as easily as you could using Big Bang or number 1 through six servers.

And I highly doubt that there is as much files now on it as there used to be before the raids took place.
 
I love eMule too, I think it's better than Bittorrent. Just put multiple files with many sources and the mule flies, and of course, it has a own internal serch engine with millions of files and it's open source. :P
 
emule and edonkey suck bowls, downloads takes ages to start regardless of finishing them.
For me Bittorent is the best way to download anything if you want some what is not on trackers then use DC++ and even if that what is looking for cant find there then i use eMule where you can find a lot of rare things ...

ill have a try at DC++, never used it.
 
Whoever thinks any file sharing program is irredeemably useless doesn't know how to integrate their software. Other than Kazaa (which, I'm sorry, is in fact a piece of shit), every program I can think of has an indispensable use. My usage pattern breaks down like this:

Bittorrent: Software, movies, music.
Emule: Extremely rare movies and music.
DC: Singles, speed.
Soulseek: Rare singles.
 
Emule is awesome. yes, it cant compete with the speeds, but it has everything bittorrent sites have, plus more. And theres sites that have verified ed2k links that links you with the files on the network, kind of like torrent site do. sharethefiles.com is one of the best ones.
