My downloads
have vanished from the list
|
|||||||||
| What does this colored bar
in Transfer mean? The colors show the availability of file parts. Red means that no source for this part is currently available. See this topic for more details. |
|||||||||
| What are the xx / yy +aa (zz)
values in the Sources column? The values denote the numbers of sources found for a download. • xx - Number of useful sources • yy - Total number of sources • + aa - Number of Asked for another file sources (only shown when Advanced Controls enabled) • zz - Currently transferring sources |
|||||||||
| What does QR mean? QR is short for queue rank and is your position in the other client's queue. Sources with a QR below 20 can be expected to start transferring soon. Credits help to advance in this queue more quickly. The queue rank is not lost should your IP change or eMule is closed for a short time. |
|||||||||
| Why do my Sources show Asked
for another file? eMule occupies only one slot in another client's queue. If another user has more than one file you want to download eMule will only queue for one file and when this is finished it switches to the other one. The same source will have the Asked for another file note in the file which cannot be queued. See Source Management for more details. |
|||||||||
| How to download in alphabetical
order It makes sense to download files belonging together in alphabetical order to use the found sources as efficient as possible. Check that the files are named alphabetical in the way you want them to download (sort after Filename, hit F2 to rename), create a category for them and move the files to this category. In the context menu of the category tick Download in alphabetical order. Advanced Controls have to be turned on for this to work. See Source Management for more details. |
|||||||||
| What does Too many connections
mean? This source status means that more sources are to be processed than connections can be opened. It usually appears when too many files are added to the transfer list or the Hard Limit is set too high. |
|||||||||
| Can I change a download's name? You may change the filename of a download to anything desired as a download is not recognized by its name but by an unique hash value. Point to a download an chose -> Show File Details from the right click menu or press the middle mouse button. Mind the files extension when changing the name in the File Name tab. |
|||||||||
| What do the red and green
exclamation marks mean? The exclamation marks are an indicator for a comment or rating for this download. • Green = positive rating • Red = negative rating |
|||||||||
| How can I add a comment
/ rating to a file? You can add comments and ratings in the Shared Files main tab. Just click the middle mouse button or right click -> Edit File Comments on any shared file. Please use helpful comments! |
|||||||||
| How do I know that a file is a
fake? You can easily recognize fakes by looking at the found filenames. Right click on any download -> Show File Details -> File Name or middle mouse button opens a list of all found file names for a download. If the file names differ a lot or are contradicting it is probably a fake. Search results showing an explorer style + also have different file names found. |
|||||||||
| My downloads will not complete. Does a download not complete for a very long time, two things may be responsible: No complete sources: If the progress bar shows red parts that never turn blue and all found sources have the same part missing then the file is probably dead and will never finish. The Last seen complete column in the Transfer List shows the date all parts of the file were available. Corrupted download: The Log window in the Server main tab displays an entry if a corrupted part has been received. If you always get a corruption for a specific file part all the time it is possible that this download is totally corrupted (rare occurrence). |
|||||||||
| My downloads are finished
but show Errorious This error usually appears when the folders for temporary files and incoming files are on different hard disks or partitions. eMule cannot finish the download because there is not enough space free on the incoming disk. |
|||||||||
| My downloads are finished but
don't appear in incoming files When eMule displays a download as finished but the file does not get moved to the incoming directory you can do this manually. First look at the -> File Details and make sure that the file is really finished by comparing sizes. Also note down the .part file's number and copy the filename to the clipboard. In the Window's Explorer navigate to you temporary folder and move the appropriate file to your incoming folder and rename it to its final filename using the name you copied to the clipboard. Mind the file's extensions. Most of time such files do no longer have a .part.met file associated. |
|||||||||
The folder for temporary files is too big. May I delete it? This folder stores all your not completed downloads. Deleting it means deleting all current downloads! Because of the transfer system used in eMule it may happen that the entire space for the finished download is occupied although only a few kilobytes have been downloaded. |
|||||||||
How can I delete / unshare
files
To remove a share you must move the files out of your incoming or folders
marked as shared. In the main windows Shared files you can also delete
files by using right mouse button -> Delete. |
