I was slightly puzzled after I read the following (http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/help.cgi?l=1&rm=show_topic&topic_id=309) on official eMule (not aMule) website:
How can I increase my download speed?
Apart from the correct settings only the files you want to download decide the speed. To get a good average performance mind the following:
* Do not download only one file.
Why shouldn't I download only one file if I want optimal download speed?

No, not "optimal download speed", but "good average performance".
They talk about the download speed overall. This is calculated by (download speed of file 1) + (download speed of file 2) + ... + (download speed of file n).
Simplified: The more downloads, the higher the overall download speed.
The optimal download speed is more influenced by your credits, which you gain by uploading a file.

Ah OK, thanks for clearing this up. So it's nothing "wrong" if I download only one file per session. I'm more of a giver than a taker.
