2. installation

wine 

you get wine as .rpm or .deb packages

under debian gnu/linux very simple ;-)


# apt-get install wine


emule:

The emule Installer does't work under wine. 
You have to download the zipd file, unzip it.

# unzip eMule0.30e.zip

and emule is ready:

# wine emule.exe &


and emule runs ...

to get a connection to a server you have to get a server.met file,
server.met as input for a search engine, download , import into emule ...

4. configuration:

Its not easy to get the right Configuration.

You have to set Max.Connections to a higher value. 
I used 200, as under Windows


The Warning "The number you have selected for Max.Connections is larger then your
OS supports: 100" it's not important. Just ingnior it.

Later I set the  Max.Connections value to 300, because my net access became slow.


Set the max source per file to a higher value to, i use  500.

You have to experiment to find out the best selection.

The network-performace under wine is not very good, my upload was never higher then 20 Kbit/s.
