more network connects means more bandwidth

No, there will not be a new version of my mods. No, I do not want your PM. No, I am certain, use the board and quit sending PMs. No, I am not kidding, there will not be a new version of my mods just because of YOU asking for it!

I suggest working on the performance issues as average bandwidth is growing fast. I see more and more with fiber connections at a residence so these types are up with my available bandwidth.
as it stands emule cannot saturate 100 Mb let alone more they way its setup
might be an idea to also add monthly transfer caps so those on a leash can stay under the bump up in plans.

As for monthly caps... impossible for both upload and download. The user has to balance this. As for upload... well, the calculation is simple: speed = max transfer in kByte / seconds per month.

Nice speed for a consumer plan. As I have said I have a corporate connection so my speeds are insane compared to the usual P2P users.
Prices for 10GBASE-T are falling fast, I have one in my box and its really fast but it set me back $599 last year. This year they are now << $500. You also need to get new cables, cat7a are needed for 10 gigabit speeds or 40 gigabit etc.
speeds are growing rapidly and emule needs to keep up.

i use extreme now in a virtual machine running windows 7 and it seems to be relatively error tolerant which I find extremely helpful, obviously a lot of work went into fixing errors
As for storage, a RAID box can saturate 10GBASE-T easily using hard disks let alone SSDs. This is what is motivating even faster iterations of Ethernet all the way to Tb speeds.
100GBASE-T is still very early in the curve but I expect adapters to be < $1000 by around 2015 or so.

maybe some code added to the slot manager stuff could be all that is needed to perk up speeds. chunks are big enough as to not be a problem.
as it is now uploaders are all over the dial for speed available, much worse than a torrent
i used extreme to download some chess related stuff, I then created torrents which are more efficient
emule is best at sharing, torrents are better for spreading
emule could be more efficient but that might be more tricky

I definitely agree that under optimal & typical circumstances a coder should have a line that fast in order to test with, but I believe a coder could possibly do it without having one.

IMHO my design for a intelligent chunk distribution system could possibly come close to maximizing a 100MB line. In theory it would maximize any connection.

But ya that crazy of a line would probably be beyond eMules scope because it would be so uber fast people would be completely DL chunks so quick and then cycling through the queue right back to DL again that the DL would almost be constant. A user would need to have hdd docking stations and be regularly swapping out 500GB+ hdd just to keep a queue.

I dont think its impossible, its just that theres definitely no quick hack to do it. It is unfortunate that the design of ed2k (back in 2000-01) which predates eMules existence had 56K connections in mind.
There are a lot of different features out there that would help but I'm not sure which mod has the most of them or if any mod even still has them, and no 1 mod had enough of them to do it. It would still require more code to be written to integrate and tweak the existing features and be able to create brand new features to supplement them.
Vegan has a very unfortunate personal problem. I imagine it will probably be over a decade before normal users catch up to his current speed.
