No duobt emule is one great tool for file sharing. While other file sharing stuff is now plagued with p0rn, I can still find many great things on emule.
But emule is not the fatsest one, or at least in the beginning. The tool actually gives you credit of how much have you given back to the other users. Also one important point is its configuration. Proper values should be set for the upload and download bandwidth limit. This brings me to the point of this post - The net speed.
To set correct [or should I say optimium] values you must know what are your limits. You dont want to give all the available bandwidth to emule , after all you have to do your work when upload and download continue in the back ground.
You need to find your uplaod and download limits and fortunately there are plenty of tools available. For most people , its a surprise to know that there uplaod speed is nearly 1/10th of their download speed.
Here are a few links.
- www.speakeasy.net Flash Speed Test - very good and have multiple servers to choose from
- www.bandwidthplace.com Not great visually , but provides you essential results
- www.dslreports.com Best of all Flash and Java based Speed Test
The important point is to test with different servers considering their geographical distance from you.
