Ok...so I just downloaded emule. It is having a problem connecting to through my UDP port. How can I fix this? I'm not connected to a router, nor am I running a firewall right now. I'm new to emule so any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Ok, so it just connected to one of my requests. The problem isn't resolved though. And is it always this slow?? It's going at like 900 Bytes/second!!

you dont need that, but i've never gotten it to work either.

It's working better now...I left it on overnight and now it's dl'ing at a total 13 kb/s. Guess it just takes long for it to connect to people.

I used to use it, only problem I had was not being able to connect to the server I wanted to sometimes, but retrying over and over usually gets you connected.

Anyone know if Emule is on RIAA's watch list?

I'd imagine it would be on their watch list.

I don't intend to use it long...just needed one video that I couldn't find anywhere else. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live at Slane Castle.

emule is good for finding shit, but it takes forever and a day to actually dl it. typically 700mg=1.5 wks

Perhaps that's the reason they call it e*mule*?

Post 666, evil minions.

Yeah...like I said...only want this video...then I'm done with it. And at the rate it's going...Should be done by the time I come back from home on Sunday.

"Anyone know if Emule is on RIAA's watch list?"

Yeah, it is. And PeerGruardian won't help you either.

EMule goes extremely fast when you have a lot of popular files shared, but be ready for that e-mail from the RIAA...

PeerGuardian blows... It uses so much system resources. ProtoWall (combined with The Blocklist Manager) are where it's at.

So then Azureus must blow as well....correct?

j/k

j/k

but resources is the exact reason why I switched to Bitcomet.

Yes. Azureus blows too. That's why I can't do anything else when I'm using Azureus.

But alas, I'm too lazy to find something better, although everyone seems to like BitComet. I might have to try that.

I tried EDonkey... it was pretty nice. Slow, but nice. I to had connection problems with EDonkey... then I found out that I did not know how to properly run the service in linux. After that... it was great. It has a nice web interface and there is also a KDE frontend.

edit: I also had to do some config changes to get it just right.

unfortunately azureus is about the only fully functional BT client for linux if you want multiple torrents at once. and thats important for some people.
