The Queue list shows the clients currently waiting for an upload slot.
This list is shown by pressing the button above the lower pane in the
Transfers tab, it will cycle from Uploading to On Queue to Known
Clients to Downloading, and back to Uploading.
Most of the values shown are reasonably self-explainatory except
Rating and Score.
Rating
Initially each client on queue has a rating of 100. After that,
multipliers are applied to it. Some of these are below 1, and will
therefore decrease the rating, while others are above 1 and will increase
the rating:
-
Banned
-
Modifier: x0
Banned users get no Rating and thus no upload slot.
-
Low ID
-
Modifier: none [x0.8]
Versions prior v.27a assigned a modifier of 0.8 to low ID users. This
has been dropped.
-
Connected
-
Modifier: none [x1.5]
The bonus of x1.5 for being already connected has been dropped with
v.27a+.
-
Credits
-
Modifier: x1 - x10
The
credit system calculates this major modifier according to the
upload / download ratio.
-
File priority for shared files
-
Modifier: x0.2 - x1.8
Users requesting a file for download will receive a modifier
according to the chosen share priority of the file.
- Release: x1.8 [x5]
- High: x0.9 [x2]
- Normal: x0.7 [x1]
- Low: x0.6 [x0.5]
- Very Low: x0.2 [x0.2]
-
Old Version Penalty
-
Modifier: x0.5
Emule versions prior v.20a cause high network load and get a penalty
Example:
A client has earned a credit modifier of x8 by uploading much. He is
requesting a file with a high priority. His total Rating will be: 100 x
8 x 0.9 = 720
Score
The score is calculated with the same modifiers as described in
Rating but also takes the waiting time of the client into
consideration. The score determines the allocation of free upload slots.
Clients with high scores and *** after the value are next to receive an
upload slot.
The formula to calculate the score is:
Score = Rating x [Waiting time in the queue [s]] / 100
Clients with a total modifier > 1 will have a yellow client icon.
