My downloads have
vanished from the list
This may happen after a bad crash or updating to a new version.

|
A downloads.txt file is created in the eMule
directory. It contains each file in the dowloads list as eD2k
with its associated .part file. You can either redownload the
file by using the link or try to reestablish the broken link
between .part and .part.met with tools like
MetMedic or
DonkeyDoctor.
|
|
•
|
Check if the correct path to the temporary folder is entered
in Preferences -> Directories
|
|
•
|
Replace the .part.met files in the temporary folder with
their .part.met.BAK backups.
|
|

Check out the chapter
Troubleshooting in the Help.

|
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 you wish as a
download is not recognized by its name but by a unique hash value.
Either right-click a download, then chose Details from the
menu and use the File Name tab in the dialog that appears,
or press the middle mouse button or F2. Make sure you keep the file
extension when changing the file name.
|
|
|
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
Erroneous
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
eMule shares files as soon as:
|
•
|
a download's part (chunk) has been completed and checked for
errors
|
|
•
|
they are in the folder for Incoming Files or are
marked as shared in Preferences -> Directories ->
Shared Directories
|
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 .
Sharing current downloads cannot be disabled.
