RE: Download speed of eMu
I love emule but I wouldn't rely on it for good download speeds consistently - if that's what you're after get NewsLeecher and hit the newsgroups! Before Rogers started capping speeds I was downloading music files at 500 Mbps (now it's more like 40 to 70 :-(
however, emule is great for availability of different video, music and software files which is mainly why I use it. sometimes it days just to retreive a 100mb file, other times a few hours - it all depends on availability, how fast your net connection is, etc.
