Emule

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

:D

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
 
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: 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.

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:
 
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.
