Title: Sources Column (in Transfer Window) - Speed aMule vs. xMule
Post by: Eru on October 19, 2003, 12:12:44 AM

Hi All

In one of my earlier posts I noticed that for me aMule is about 3 to 4 times slower than xMule
Now after about 10 days of experience, I think I have found a reason for this.
Currently I'm downloading about 16 files. With aMule I get a sources column that
looks like:
17/80 (0)
16/80 (1)
14/80 (0)
25/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
2/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
....

With xMule I have something like:
73/80 (0)
69/80 (1)
45/80 (0)
55/80 (0)
33/80 (1)
20/80 (1)
21/80 (0)
30/80 (0)
42/80 (0)
12/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
20/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
0/80 (0)
....

So the big difference is that xMule asks a lot of more peers for downloads.

I have the same Preferences Settings, especialy for the connections stuff
Max Sources 80, Max Connections 75.

If I do a "netstat -n --ip" I see more or less the same amount of connections
(xMule ~220, aMule ~170).

Maybe anybody knows how to make aMule xMule like when asking for donwloads?

Regards
Eru

yep, I increased it from 7 to 30. that helps a bit but not much. now it tries to download from about 50% more sources....

I think the real fun is hidden in opcodes.h ....  8)  8) , isn't it?
