Which Is The Speed? The One Outside or Inside The Brackets?
 
Plus might claim it has more options but I found it really slow and useless, a lot of the configuration tabs grayed out and unuseable.
I've gone back to 28a and it works quite well with my 2mb connection configured as DSL 1600 / 90 and preferences set to 100% uploads/ unlimited downloads, Throttled by Netlimiter instead. When the sources drop off, I throttle back to maintain a 3/1 download/upload ratio. When I find sources, I throttle back up to about 80% of my upload speed.
 
Don't you keep your temp folder outside the system folders anyway? You should.

You can just copy the folder to another location and point to it when you reinstall. Restart emule and it will find it. Keep a copy of server.met too just in case .
 
You probably don't have the settings right for your network. I quite often get up to 200kB/s but it's usually 8 - 80kB/s

or you can just tell emule where to find the temp folder :)
 
Try reducing upload to 20-25Kb instead of 30. Your max upload is 32KB, and you dont leave much room for sending out data for your own requests.

Increase max connections to 500, or 1000....try out both to see which works better for you.

Not sure what your sources per file is, but usually a good number is 300. If very popular try 400.

Might want to change the 20 (connections per 5 sec) up to 30.

Make sure you have a highID.

Share some gigs of stuff if you can, make sure you dont have more than 500 files as most servers dont like it as it adds stress to them and most likely blacklist you for it.

Shared stuff needs to be relatively big files, like archived music albums/films/games, and not small files like single mp3s etc. Emule network works better with larger files.

Download 20-30 files at once, it works better than a few at once.

Well i hope that helps/.
 
What's the difference between eMule and eMule Plus? I've had both before (still use eMule), but I couldn't find out the differences about from a disco-style website :huh:
 
the speed on the lefthand side is the actual speed, and the other speed shown in the () is the average datarate. You can turn it off in 1g by going to preferences, general, then unticking the "show average datarate and smoothed remaining time".

The normal settings from the drop down arent always the best settings to use. You will need to take into account your OS, speed connections, and basic preferences.
When I started i got 5KB, but now i can get 65 out of 75 possible speed (cant reach full speed as overhead is generated).

Only real difference between emule and the plus version is that the plus has more features and works slightly different to the emule version. Im not certain if the emule version uses ZZ'z upload system. This is where one user will get a large speed from the upload while the others get trickle slots which take up about less than 1KB. This is to get out parts quickly so they can be distributed quicker through the network.
