Wrong settings in eMule (wrong limits, too many connections), a low ID and a short sessions durations have a bad impact on download speed. Very popular files (new releases) and generally files with a low number of sources or bad part spreading also cause low download rates.

Here are some key features of "eMule":

· Clients use several networks to create one reliable network. (ED2K, Source Exchange, Kad)
· Kad is now in an open testphase, eMule v0.42 can be enabled to use Kad
