Miran Posted May 2, 2002 Share Posted May 2, 2002 You are probably behind a firewall (hardware) - you have to open your ports. Let me know if you need to know which ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwar Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 i wish they still continued the edonkey BOT.. That program was a godsend but it got shut down because of some extreme strain on the servers or something :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zivan56 Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 It is pretty fast for me unless only one or two people have the file, then obviously it would go slower... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 there is a cracked version of the bot, but it's in french. I have taken a peek at it and it works just like the old bot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twist Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 just shut it down, let it rehash and it'll track down the corrupeted parts quicker Quote removed. -Keldyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted May 3, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 3, 2002 i never liked it, tried it once and just hated the "wait" issue. I got o IRC and download stuff at 1.2MB/s :) Full demos and stuff fly over here! edit/ just incase you weren't sure if i meant megabytes or bit i'll spell it out .. :) well nah.. but i get (a max of ) 1280Kbytes/s for couple secs but it's usually about 400 - 500 downloading.

Guest Dclanz Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Edonkey rocks...sometimes slow...sometimes fast...but it gets the job done.:bandit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted May 3, 2002 Share Posted May 3, 2002 Don't use it... No one forces you to use it. I use it and get slow downloads, but almost every file I attempt to download, I get, eventually. Edonkey is not out there to break the speed barriers of P2P, its there for massive amounts of hard-to-find, and latest files. I use edonkey everyday, and I set my download and upload to unlimited. I don't complain about having slower downloads than uploads, its just a fact I have grown to live with... Further Edonkey is free, and I shant complain about something for which I haven't paid...
