Is eMule worth it?
    #5446841 - 03/27/06 10:17 AM (17 years, 10 months ago)

The search results are godly

Much safer than Limewire

But it seems to take forever to download

Yes. There are downsides, like the speed, the number of incomplete files and the fact that you can end up with a film dubbed in Italian or Russian (so use preview and always check the comments and all the filenames of the file), but it is a place where you can find almost anything.

So for recent and popular files you're better off finding a torrent, but for older and rare files, the eMule network is great. Downloading may take a week, but that's still better than getting nothing.

The preview feature can get annoying...

Doesn't about 75% of the file must be finished or something?

Oh well, it is better than nothing

check in the settings menu "try to download first and last chunk first" When it has the first and last chunk, you can do a preview.

I have given emule/amule (linux client) several tries, but I could never get into it. I guess im stuck on soulseek/nicotine and bittorrent...and sometimes dc++

People still use P2P file sharing systems? Laugh out loud.

Seriously, get on bittorrent.

I've never had good luck with torrents

Any recommendations?

I want fast results

soulseek really isnt the place for movies - its 99% music.
bittorrent is how you get movies - although it's a little risky now.
have you tried newsgroups/usenet?

I use slsk for music and use newsgroups for movies when I have money to waste.

I haven't tried newsgroup or usenet

Are they pay sites?

I'm a bit short on money right now

eMule is great for single songs, not-so-popular bands, and older files.

But yeah, it can be slow. Unfortionatly, eMule no longer works for me. I tink it might be my new net connection....

I just use usenet through my ISP. You don't get access to some of the binary groups but I can still usually get all the latest movies/games/applications I need. Great speed too, maxes out my connection!  :smile:
