Just start out on Emule and still a beginner. The speed is really killing me, even configured ports 4662 & 4672. I got high ID but the quene is round up to hundreds before I capable to get any files. I always keep my upload speed @ 20kbs, but d/l speed still suck. The speed only pick-up after 40minutes but not over 30kbs even there are 300 resource of sharing files. Gone thru a lot of searches hope to get stuff from emule faster. And here is one way to optimize the bandwidth for emule, which not on the manual. CODE With Windows 2000/XP: Open "regedit.exe" and do the following: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM] CurrentControlSet Services Tcpip Parameters Set as: "GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize"=dword:00007fff [HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT] Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Internet Settings Set as: "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000020 "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000020 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Internet Settings Set as: "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000020 "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000020 I heard someone mention earlier that BT engine can speed up emule but don't know it's true.
