I've been running amule for a whole now, well since 2.1.3 came out. My problem is very simple. I am using a cable broadband service giving me a 1 MB (realistic 118k) line Download and somewhere between 10 - 12 K upload.
When I connect and search for a file, that works brilliantly. I get files at almost 110 Ks at times but now I also get files where I have to wait now 6 days, and the file could have upto 100 sources.
Question is simple. I understand the whole que process, and I do have a highid, and I came to realise with certain tweaks, i can up my cable to near 900k. If I get a file with many sources, why am I crawling? i have people connecting to me literally instantly and downloading the chunks I have, and I can see they have the chunks I need, but my D/L is crawling and I can't connect to them. Nothing wrong with my ISP. I just knocked down a file 300 mb over an average of 400k with my tweaked settings. Right now I am staring at a file at 98.6% and I have been looking at it for the last 1 hour 46 minutes. I have 19 sources 0 connections. All I have is a message saying waiting. I have been downloading this file for 4 and a half days so my patience is pretty much worn out.
Why can't I connect to someone, yet I have more people connecting to me literally instantly and with o.k. speeds? Or is there something I am missing here that people have specific mods they use that gives them an advantage?
Someone help.
Thanks

Nothing special. If you just let you aMule run for a looong time, then you check your upload queue, you'll see others with times saying: Waited: 1D or something like that. When you start your aMule, there are always lucky people that connect to you first. If you weren't as lucky as to connect to a newly started client first, then you have to wait though the queue.
I know it challenges one's patience pretty much waiting days for the last some kb of a large file, but that's how it works and you cannot do anything about it.

I know I said how the que thing works, but how do I check where I am in the queue (Blimey, my English went to hell there, apologies)?

double click on the file you download, you will see the clients you are connected to
here you can also see your position in the queue, but actually knowing where you are wont hepl much anyways
this might help a little http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/AMule_is_slow

Now I didn't know you could do that. Cool. Thanks, helped a lot. Wished there was a clock though but that would be asking for too much. Ha ha ha
Thanks again
