However, some users who are sharing pirated software or media may be breaking the law in their country. There are no known viruses, malware, ransomware, etc. However, you should always be careful when file sharing since you never know what is really going to be downloaded to your computer. Both programs have loyal customers who can present a strong argument as to which of these programs is better. However, if you have no allegiance to either one, it really comes down to what types of files you are looking to transfer.
However, for basic movies and music, uTorrent is the way to go. Most VPNs will reduce the transfer speeds since they are rerouting your internet traffic to a remote server.

Click on the " Preferences " icon , this window appears. For you convenience, these are the settings I use. Only the fields " Minimize to tray icon " which makes eMule minimize to the systray the window clock in the lower right corner , " Beep on errors " and " Bring to front on link click ".
Don't forget to enter an nick name at " Nick " - this can be your name or nickname. You can also change language if you want to. Don't forget to click the " ED2K Links " button.
This will associate eMule with eDonkey links on the internet for example on the ShareReactor website. These are the settings eMule gave me after setup. I checked the " Autoconnect on Startup " option, this will save me clicking the Connect button. Tip : take a look at eMule fine-tuning for getting the most out of your connection. This includes the " Auto-update serverlist at startup " option, this requires you to have an address for automatically downloading server. If you haven't edited this file, then do not check this option either!
Here you can enter the path you wish to use for " Incoming Files " where the downloaded files should be stored and " Temporary Files " temporary files for eMule. Tip : Make sure the directories are on a disk with sufficient space! The C-drive is not always the best choice!
You also can set here the folder s you wish to share with other users. It is a nice custom to share at least something with other users. I usually set my shared directory identical to the " Incoming Files " directory You do not need to change those, the default settings will do just fine. Click " OK " to accept the changes. Now Shutdown and restart eMule. If you enabled the auto-update option, the you will see that the server list will be updated and that you are instantly connected.
For you to be able to find something on the Peer-to-Peer network, you will need to be connected. Using the Preferences mentioned above, this should be done automatically. If you haven't used the " Autoconnect on Startup " option in the " Preferences " - " Connection " page , you will need to manually click the Connect icon. The connection status can be monitored in the lower right corner of the eMule window. These 3 basic status variants can be found:.
Once eMule is connected, you can start searching and downloading files. Once eMule is connected, it's time to start our first search for files. Let's just take a random example, we want to look for some cool music hits of the Rolling Stones. First click the search icon , now the search window appears;. In this window we can enter characteristics of the file we are looking for.
We are going to search in the Peer-To-Peer network. So we limit this search to the " Search " part left of this screen. Since we are looking for some stuff done by the Rolling Stones, we now enter something like " Stones " or " Rolling " without the quotes in the " Name " field.
The reason why I'm not entering " Rolling Stones " is that this might limit the search too much to only filenames that have " Rolling Stones " in it. This would leave files that have something like " Stones " instead of " Rolling Stones " out of the query results.
In this example we do know that we are looking for music. However selecting " Type " " All " would work just fine too, we might see some movies and images as well. So it's up to you to decide what you want. I'm going to assume we use the " All " file type. The label of the tab holds the value we entered in the " Name " field. Between brackets you see the amount of found results - in this case files! Now it's up to you to locate the files you want. Double click that file and it will be added to the " Transfer " page.
Downloading will start as soon as at least one users allows you to download. You can double click multiple files. If you are done with your selection, you can either leave the results op, or right click the tab and click " Remove this search results ". In this window detailed information is shown on your download requests.
The bar, just below " Downloads ", allow you to sort on " Filename ", " Size ", etc, by clicking the table header. One well hidden feature of the transfer page is the transfer menu, which appears when right clicking the table with downloads.
Downloaded and Aborted files: Cleaning up. After downloading or aborting a download, you might want to clean up a little bit. Downloaded files can be found in the folder you did set in the " Preference " screen see Directories. We defined " Incoming " and " Temp ". Do what you need to do with these files Here you will find parts of the downloaded files files that end with.
To get the most out of your eMule connection, it is well worth the effort to do some fine tuning. In the image above this text, you will see that A indicates the upload speed the speed used by others to download stuff from your PC to theirs. Cancel Changes.
