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

    • Well, it seems version 4.9 doesn't work well at least when trying to make a WinToGo USB. It ends very fast with an error. Had to use 4.8 instead.
    • Hundreds of printer models with weak password algorithms exposed, no firmware patch possible by Usama Jawad Many people don't think or care about it, but printer security is a pretty important avenue when it comes to evaluating your cybersecurity posture. Last month, it was found that the companion software for Procolored printers was distributing malware. Now, it has been revealed that hundreds of printer models all over the globe are susceptible to attacks targeting their admin credentials. Bleeping Computer has reported that CVE-2024-51978 is a one of the eight printer vulnerabilities recently discovered by security researchers. Combined, these allow authenticated and unauthenticated attackers to discover the default admin password, perform remote code execution (RCE), crash the printer, and leak other sensitive information. Severity ratings go from a score of 5.3 (medium) to 9.8 (critical), indicating that these are pretty severe vulnerabilities. The most dangerous vulnerability in there exposes the default admin password, and primarily affects Brother printers. This is because Brother utilizes a rather weak password generation algorithm that is highly dependent upon the device's serial number and a static salt table. Analysis of the code revealed that the first 16 characters of the serial number are appended with eight bytes from a static salt table, with the results being hashed with SHA256 and Base64-encoded. Finally, the first eight characters are then taken and some of them are replaced with special characters to form the password. The static nature of the password generation algorithm means that an attacker can chain various existing vulnerabilities to get access to your serial number and eventually your default admin password. It is important to note that not all printer models are affected by all of these flaws, but the default admin password exposure does affect 695 models. The breakdown for the number of printer model affected by the eight vulnerabilities is as follows: Brother: 689 Fujifilm: 46 Konica Minolta: 6 Ricoh: 5 Toshiba: 2 Brother has informed the security researchers that it cannot fully remediate the password generation vulnerability through a firmware patch. It can only fix the issue in its next printer models by patching the problem during the manufacturing process. This makes it crucial for customers of affected models to change their default admin password as soon as possible, which is good practice anyway.
    • Win11 being 2.3x faster than Win10, so that means without changing any hardware, Doom Eternal will run at over 2x the framerate? Or that any computational stuff will be done 2x faster just because of OS? Press X for doubt. I wonder where they pulled these metrics out of coz they make no sense. Not to mention my laptop with Ryzen 2500U that used to run Windows 11 simply CAN'T anymore because of BS arbitrary requirements Microsoft has imposed in Win11 that weren't there intiially. So, that laptop is now running Ubuntu or Fedora and runs at 1000000000000000000000x faster speeds because Windows 11 just doesn't work at all so it gets DNF.
    • “Ask Photos” is coming to more Google Photos users in the US by Paul Hill Google has announced several improvements to a Gemini-powered Google Photos feature called Ask Photos. The feature launched last year in early access and it was great for longer search requests, however, when users typed “Dog” or “Beach” looking for those types of pictures, Ask Photos underperformed. Now, Google has addressed this and is bringing the feature to more eligible users in the United States. The search giant said that users enjoyed asking queries such as “suggest photos that’d make great phone backgrounds” or “what did I eat on my trip to Barcelona?” and getting Gemini-powered responses to these complex questions. Unfortunately, simple searches like “beach” or “dogs” were generating less than optimal results and people complained. To remedy the situation, Google has brought the best of Google Photos’ classic search feature to Ask Photos to improve latency. Easy, short requests will be dealt with by the old search mechanism and when you ask complex queries, it will switch over to the Gemini-powered search results. Now that Google has addressed this main issue of simple searches by integrated functionality from the previous search model, the company feels more confident to open up beyond early access and deliver it to more users in the United States. To be eligible, you must be 18+, be in the US, have your Google Account language set to English (United States), and have Face Groups turned on. This feature is only available on Android and iOS. To start using it, open Google Photos and tap on Ask at the bottom, then press Try now and agree to the terms. If you do not see the Ask button, it means you’re not yet eligible. The feature also can’t be used on computers yet. Hopefully, Google will quickly expand this feature outside the US so that international users can try it out too.
    • When are MS going to learn. Traditional home users who email, watch cat videos and perform basic tasks don't care if W11 is slightly faster...assuming it's true. Few home users care about faster speed and more secure claims. In any event, it's irrelevant. MS stopped caring about home users years ago as evident by their hostile, anti choice home user policies.
