Trying to find a rare MP3, nothing on WinMX or Kazaa but two on
e-Mule. Get down to 13 on queue then suddenly bumped to 1264!! Every
time I get near to downloading I get bumped way down the queue. What
gives?

Use the Donkey servers and getting files can take days..

No good if you are on dialup..

I think the current PC User (OZZ) has a Article on tuning eMule.

In article <>,
says...

It's P2P, just accept it. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it
doesn't.

Do you have low id or high id?
User with low id, who can not / do not allow open wan ports for emule will
get a low id.
and effectively get shunted down the list if someone with a higher id than
you wants it.
i used to have low id because i didn't port forward any of the outgoing and
incomming ports it said on its website, soon as i port forward as many as i
could, i became high id.

Dunno. Just a standard setup. Just installed it last week but I seem
to remember seeing a value of 100 (not running at the moment).
