I have had emule for a while now and always was getting a messege saying i have a lowID and that i need to correct this to get the better service or something, which at first i left as the downloades where at good speed but then they went terrible so i decided to fix it. I had to go to my servers address thinhg in IE and login and change the settings in the forwarding section to the correct settings (i beleive) which was to have the EXT.port set to 4662 To 4672, and i ticked the box for both protocol TCP and protocol UDP, and i put in what i beleived to be my IP address and enabled it.

Since then my mum has had a realy slow and laggy interent connection on her computer and she beleives its because of this change that it has happeend, as a year or so ago she had emule and had the same problems. for now i have just exited out of emule and i guess the slow internet must have stopped as i have had no more complaints from mum. Is there anyway i can still use emule and keep normal internt speeds?

Im using a Linksys if that helps.

How about "don't use filesharing"?

It'll be using your upload capacity which will kill your intarweb.

so what should i do about this? sjhould i just set the download limit to a much less capacity or something? How much less would be suitable. I still get full internt speeds though which is what i dont understand.
