How to Accelerate Emule: A Step-by-step Guide
Are you tired of waiting forever for files to download on eMule? Do you want to know the secrets of accelerating eMule and get your downloads done in a flash? Look no further! In this article, we’ll show you how to configure eMule to download files quickly and efficiently.
What is Accelerating Emule?
Accelerating eMule refers to the process of configuring eMule to optimize its performance for faster downloading. This involves tweaking various settings in the program, as well as modifying your router’s configuration to ensure that eMule can communicate effectively with the outside world.
Step 1: Open Ports on Router
The first step in accelerating eMule is to open the ports of eMule on your router. This allows eMule to communicate with external servers and download files quickly. To do this:
- Open the program that you use to access the internet (such as Chrome or Firefox).
- Connect to the administration page of your router.
- Log in using the default credentials (usually admin/admin).
- Navigate to the section where you can configure port forwarding.
- Create a new rule for eMule, specifying the TCP and UDP ports used by the program.
Step 2: Use an Updated Server List
Next, update your list of servers in eMule. This will help ensure that you connect to the most up-to-date servers and avoid any potential issues with spy servers.
- Open the Server tab in eMule.
- Delete all existing servers from the list.
- Click on the Update Servers button.
- Insert one or more of the following URLs:
- Http://Edk.Peerates.Net/servers.Met
- Http://Upd.Emule-security.Org/server/met
- Http://Update.Adunanza.Net/servers.Met (only for eMule Adunanza)
Step 3: Connect to Kad Network
To connect to the Kad network, follow these steps:
- Open the Kad tab in eMule.
- Check the box beside Bootstrap nodes.Dat file.
- Insert one or more of the following URLs:
- Http://Www.Emule-mods.It/download/nodes.Dat (provided by eMule Mods forum)
- Http://Www.Nodes-dat.Com/dl.Php?load=nodes&trace=39513030.1944
- Click on the Bootstrap button.
Alternatively, you can connect to a server in eD2K and initiate the download of any file. Once connected, wait for a minute or two (depending on your internet connection) and then click on the Bootstrap button in the Kad tab.
Step 4: Download Files With Many Active Sources
To accelerate eMule even further, download files with many sources active. This will help ensure that you get the best possible download speeds.
- Open the Search tab in eMule.
- Search for a file (you can limit the search to eD2K or Kad by using the dropdown menu).
- Click on the Availability column header to sort the results by number of available sources.
- Choose a file with the highest number of available sources.
Step 5: Adjust Download And Upload Speeds
Next, regulate your download and upload speeds in eMule. This will help prevent your internet connection from being overloaded and ensure that you get the best possible download speeds.
- Open the Options tab in eMule.
- Insert your internet connection’s maximum download and upload speeds into the Download Speed Limit and Upload Speed Limit fields.
- Check the boxes beside Limit Download Speed and Limit Upload Speed.
- Click on the Save button.
Step 6: Disable Client Known List And Client in Tail List
To reduce the charge on your CPU and RAM, disable the Client Known list and the Client in Tail list in the Appearance tab of eMule.
Step 7: Use Protocol Obfuscation
Protocol obfuscation helps bypass restrictions imposed by internet providers that block P2K traffic. To enable protocol obfuscation:
- Open the Options tab in eMule.
- Check the box beside “Use protocol obfuscation”.
- Click on the Save button.
Step 8: Consider Using a Modified Version of Emule
Using a modified version of eMule can help you accelerate the program even further. However, be sure to follow safe downloading practices and avoid sharing copyrighted material.
