Money guarantees that. You know who doesn’t have 5 million bucks? A student studying in USA who might protest against genocide in Gaza. You know who has 5 millions? People like Venesuelan cartel members.

This is just asinine and reeks of similar level of greed as selling bath water to thirsty horny teenagers. It’s no fucking different. It’s just a gold card with ugly Trump’s face for a lot more money.

I have ports forwarded locally to deal with my router, that doesn’t apply to my ISP down the line. And that’s the problem. I don’t know the specifics, but that’s how it was explained to me.

It’s not. Bittorrent uses newer methods to connect that work with current network configurations where eMule devs stubbornly refused because it would create some overhead like we’re still stuck on 56k or ISDN era and never improved it.

Apparently there is a way using VPN with P2P, but I’m not gonna pay for it just to run eMule…

I know, but I still miss my donkey. It was slow but stubborn and always delivered eventually. Also it was mesmerizing watching all the clients and traffic happening and watching KAD nodes visualization. Good times. It’s still there but because it now always connects with LowID it doesn’t work as good as it did with HighID…

Problem is how most networks are configured today that prevent HighID on eMule, severely crippling it. It used to be annoying to have LowID in the past and reconnecting usually fixes it, now it’s a given and you can’t get out of it. It’s so hard to get uploads going and it makes me sad :(

I miss eMule though. I always loved to share some rare exotic stuff and see someone decided they want that and I provided it. It’s not just about bandwidth, though I had pretty big numbers there. Torrents just don’t hit the same.

People who do this already did even when bins were still there. Because placing rubbish into pocket or backpack is so hard!

All bears to battle stations!
