Is it Possible? Emule and no uploading?


Question

Hey guys,

I use emule, and my pc isn't that great and when I upload it slows me pc down a lot. I was wondering if there was a way to stop it and allow downloading at like 20KB? or like disable it in rege like kazaa. Or something that like tricks it, so it thinks your uploading?

Disabling upload is gay, you expect people to share with you, but you don't want to share back....

The only way files will get shared well (and you will get a chance to dl them) is if other people share... think about it,

if everyone stopped sharing, you wouldn't get anything

Finally.... emule r0x :?)

And you guys are made cuz i dun share, i have a made connect and it slows my pc to hell, i have a reason not to share, if i had a fast connect and a good pc at least a p3 id upload but mines terrible

the only way would be too find a moded version of the program

i have tried to limit my uploads using a bandwith controller, but emule notices and slows my downloads down

i'd advice you not to use emule as its well sucky, switch to bittorent or irc :)

look for different versions of emule thats all i can say

there is absolutly no excuse to use leech mods.

your puter slows down when you upload? i say you are 100% god dammed lair!

total dowload=total upload. if everybody would be like you and don't upload, nobody would download either.

instead of looking for excuses not to upload why don't you fix your computer!

offical version and many mods have features that reduce cpu load.

everybody is equal. everybody must follow same rules or ######(you seem to be one of them) will kill that network.

Allright thats just being a straight out ######

I agree, downloads=uploads both slow pc down, but both at same time slow it down even more. My pc is a 566MHZ 256SD Ram, and a 32 Bit card, fix it you say? give me money and I will buy a new one, im not rich maybe you are, but if you have ass comment next time keep them to yourself christ. You seem to be an ###### thats ruining neowin.

he probably isnt talking about the actual SYSTEM slowing down, but more that maybe that internet pages dont load as quickly because he is using all his bandwidth to upload, but i have never heard of it to slow down your pc. i know that emule and mods for emule have memory leaks (at least for me they do) and that could cause it to slow down AFTER A WHILE (like 2-5 hours later) but i havent heard of anything else.

my net upload is capped at 16 k/bytes sec, so if i set my upload/download ratio to 0/0, then i can barely surf the web or play cs, but what i have done is set my upload to 8 and my download is (i think) 32, and that is enough for me.

lol, i can tell you how u can fix the problem so you dont upload, but im not going to, i dont do it (and i know how to) and neither should anyone else. like everyone said earlier, if you dont share, how the hell is anyone gonna download?

my advise to you is, if emule is slowing you down, then use something else, kazaa, irc, etc..

exactly as everyone else is saying. it is not justified when all you want to do is leech/download off other people while others can't download from you. think about it... it's like this: there are a bunch of rich people, and you are poor. you expect them to just continually give you money out of charity... I don't think so buddy. you only get what you work for. so likewise, if you are not about to contribute back to the commnuity, why the hell would they want you?

566mhz is more than enough to handle emule.

if your computer is slowing down during transfers i said FIX YOUR COMPUTER, not upgrade it. big difference.

like i said before, offical client and some mods have features to reduce cpu usage...but it seems like you don't care anymore so oh well.

if i have "ass comment" next time i'll also post it to make sure you know it.

and by the looks of it, my ass comment is not so ass :p

    • Certificates for one of Windows 11's hardware requirements expire soon, here is what to know by Taras Buria Secure Boot is a known term for Windows 11 users. It is one of Windows 11's hardware requirements, and without it, the operating system cannot be installed, at least officially. Secure Boot was introduced in 2012 with the release of Windows 8, and its certificates, first issued in 2011, are set to expire soon. Now, Microsoft has posted a blog post about the importance of this event and why organizations and users must ensure their Secure Boot certificates are up to date. In a nutshell, Secure Boot is a special mechanism that ensures that your PC is using verified firmware and a trusted bootloader. Certificates released in 2011 will expire in June 2026, and if left outdated, will disrupt the integrity of the device startup process. Without new certificates, Windows Boot Manager and Secure Boot components can't receive security fixes, leaving affected devices exposed to bootkit malware (such as BlackLotus), which is very hard to detect with standard antivirus software. Other results of having expired Secure Boot certificates include the inability to trust software signed with new certificates. PCs that could be affected by expired certificates include physical and virtual machines (VMs) with supported versions of Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2025, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2. Copilot+ PCs released in 2025 are not affected. To avoid these potentially disastrous consequences, Microsoft urges organizations and users to update their entire PC fleet to newer certificates, which were released in 2023: Expiration Date Expiration Certificate Updated Certificate What it does Storing Location June 2026 Microsoft Corporation KEK CA 2011 Microsoft Corporation KEK 2K CA 2023 Signs updates to DB and DBX Key Enrollment Key (KEK) Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011 (or third-party UEFI CA)* Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2023 Microsoft Option ROM UEFI CA 2023 Signs third-party OS and hardware driver components Signs third-party option ROMs Allowed Signature database (DB) October 2026 Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011 Windows UEFI CA 2023 Signs the Windows bootloader and boot components So, what do you need to do? Microsoft says that the easiest solution is to let Microsoft manage your Windows updates. In the upcoming months, Microsoft will release new certificates as part of monthly cumulative updates, so it will take care of everything for you. The company also recommends enrolling Windows 10 devices in the Extended Security Updates program, which is free for regular consumers and paid for enterprises. Microsoft will also provide the necessary certificates for Linux systems that dual-boot Windows. Of course, not every Windows PC can receive such updates. For example, so-called "air-gapped" devices, which are physically isolated from the internet and local networks, cannot receive updates like your home PC does. For such devices, Microsoft offers limited support, which is detailed in the blog post. You can also track Windows Secure Boot certificate updates on a newly published support document. You can check if your system has Secure Boot enabled by pressing Win + R, typing msinfo32, and checking "Secure Boot State."
    • Silly decision. Trying to pull Apple to łook/sound cool but it ain't. XPS was just fine.
