Hi,
what about to be able to set a limit how many active uploads can run simultaneously ?
I haven't found this in the menus.

shl.

You have upload bandwidth limit and per-slot allocation. Divide one to other - this is number of uploads you have.

except other bandwith stuff like not filling the limit and needing to open more slots and blbalabla

I find it ironic that you should complain about not having a feature that not only IS there, but aMule alone(save for Shareaza on Windows) has it available. When I use eMule MorphXT, it always opens 18-20 u/l slots on the same bandwith, even with all that fancy "smart upload whatnot" activated - what a mess !

Ok, I know it now sounds like I'm picking on you, but what you said is just plain wrong. Even the official MetaMachines Edonkey2000 -- and that is a client that pretty much deservers your "retarded piece of crap" attribute, or at least the Mac and the linux versions do (don't know about the one for windows) -- had a setting to control the number of upload slots. So do mldonkey and eMule.

If you always get 18-20 upload slots with eMule MorphXT, I'm a little inclined to think that the problem is located somewhere in front of the keyboard.

1. I couldn't use eDonkey on Linux, because it doesn't know how to deal with whitespace in file paths, therefore I felt it didn't even deserve a mention.
2. Last time I used mldonkey, at least it's GUI didn't have slot number option
3. eMule definitely doesn't allow setting fixed number of u/l slots. I requested that feature in their forums, but they declined, claiming that the upload control schemes would take care of it, but obviously they don't. MorphXT actually has an option to limit number of slots, but the hard-coded minimum is 60 ! What good does that do ?
4. Feel free to "pick on me" as you only make an ass out of yourself. I stand by my statements.

Ok, I just checked with some windows using friends (haven't touched a PC in 5 years) and the official eMule indeed does not seem to have a number of upload slots feature, which is kinda surprising because it is such a basic one, but many mods apparently do. But that does not change the fact that pretty much every other ed2k client has it, including mldonkey, which has it since at least the middle of 2001, which is when I started using it.

So, in summary, I'm not quite sure how you stand by your statement "aMule alone(save for Shareaza on Windows) has it available", when in fact it is "every client has it except for eMule".

Ok, you like mldonkey - good for you. I didn't find it to be a usable client and scratched it off my list a while ago. As far as eMule goes, it seems to be their pet peeve not to implement slot control, as if the user couldn't decide for himself whether to use it or not. The handful of mods listed on their forums didn't have the feature either. The aMule team is guilty of similar offense regarding banning spammers. I'm tired of editing ipfilter_static.dat every other day and when I find the time I'm gonna probably learn to hack the source myself, just to enable it.

Guys, please be nice to each other. This thread isn't supposed to treat about emule, nor about mldonkey, nor about bitching. Thus, leave it alone and continue your conversation per PM or mail.
