Let me being by saying hats off to you guys for writing such a great app - not sure where we Mac 10.4 users would be without you - probably eD2k-less anyway and that's just no fun! AND, thanks for writing such *helpful* help pages! After pouring over those pages and following all the instructions, I'm beginning to think that maybe it's just normal to have a download speed of 5 Kb/s with uploads capped at 10 Kb/s... is it? I'm running aMule on a new MacBook, with cable modem & wireless router.
I really have no idea what a normal download speed should be... I gather eD2k files are slower than bittorrents, but how much slower, typically? When I download bittorrents using Transmission I sometimes get total download rates of more than 200 Kb/s, although 60-80 Kb/s is more typical (with upload speed capped at 20 Kb/s).
Even though I have high ID and my max upload is set at 10 Kb/s, my total aMule download speed generally stays well below 10 Kb/s. I've played with the max upload and download settings, assigned different port numbers, set up a static IP address and forwarded the ports, etc but I'm not having much luck... although now, if I raise the max upload speed to 30, the download speed will sometimes hover around 15 Kb/s. But from everything I've read, the download speed should be 3 to 4 x faster than the upload speed. In my case, it's usually the other way around!
Any ideas what else I could do that I might not have tried yet?
Thanks!
