I want to thank YOU, Walter, for making me reexamine my own settings. I found I still had the Capacities set to what was appropriate for a few years ago when my Internet speeds were much slower. So I did a speed test and raised them WAY WAY up to match. I wanted to experiment. Then I kept loading current FLM files into eMule, anything as long as I was not currently sharing it, hoping to find ones with strong sources. When that wasn't enough, I did a search for some popular Tom Cruise spy movies with lots of sources, and loaded them. Ultimately I reached the apparent limit of my laptop Wifi card and eMule was starting to lock up, so I had to push the download limit slider down. But it turns out my downloading speeds are much faster than I thought they were. Huh, how about that.
Ultimately it does not matter TOO much, because I have more than I need already anyway. But this means that I may be able to get some downloads faster and then use my bandwidth for something else instead.
Thank you mimzy for pressing the issue of apparently slow limits!

Dramatic? That is 28,000% higher than 80kb/s. Well, I must say I am jealous! Congrats on this news, Walter.

You know, I had recently done this, and found my upload was nearly 4 times higher than I thought it capped at. I am weary about continuously maxing out upload rate over emule, as I don't want to get any automated ISP attention and suffer any speed caps. But I have been experimenting on how fast I can get it to go and it's been fun seeing what it can do.Night457 wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 4:28 am I want to thank YOU, Walter, for making me reexamine my own settings.

Glad this helped some people other than just myself!

What the heck!??? It must have had something to do with bonmrmjp's directions, and you previously just had not waited long enough for it to take effect. Or something. The dumb luck of some people! Congratulations!
Re: Help needed narrowing down eMule problem
Hmm, it didn't occur to me that there could be a delayed effect, I just thought it would happen right away... I guess that must be it, though.

There is just the server and network connection processing time of a few minutes at most, that is all I was thinking.
