A screenshot of all my settings is posted below (which may be very wrong, I know, because I got them from a youtube video, and then fiddled with them until I got things to work correctly...which it did until now).

I should also mention that I have established High ID, made sure the "Use UPnP" was check-marked, rebooted the modem and PC, but the same thing keeps happening.
Thank you!

The physical limit is you internet connection speed, but also the maximum upload speed of you peers.
If you're downloading a file and you only have a peer uploading with 100 kBit/s, then you only download with 100 kBit/s, regardless of you maximum download speed available.

Thank you for the quick reply, that makes complete sense. However, this started to occur right in the middle of a list of files I was downloading for quite some time (a couple of days) all a fast pace, until out of the blue. Is it possoble all the peers suddenly are uploading at lower speeds all of the sudden? I'm probably not understanding everything but I'm new to all this, so I apologize in advance...

To measure the true bandwidth you should turn off eMule and all other applications that use network.
In browser go to speedtest.net site, do the test and post the acquired numbers.

If you have downloaded many parts and only a few remain, then you have less peers for downloading.
This will often result in a slower DL speed.

My speedtest numbers are 113.55 mbps and my upload 8.65 mbps.

Oops, I worded it wrong, these aren't are actually parts of files, but rather a collection of files from a .emulecollection folder. I suppose it could be a problem with these remaining files themselves, but I doubt it, as before I had these latest issues, theses babies were downloading rapid fire.

The simplest way is to use Wizard... button on Connection page.
Select Custom line, make sure it is kbit/s, enter your numbers multiplied by 1000 - and press Apply.
Upload limit usually should not be over 80%, and yours was only slightly above.
And you can uncheck download limit.

Thanks Fox88! Tried all that and another reboot, but unfortunately it just seems slower than ever Any other ideas?
P.S. I should also mention that I'm running v0.60b x64, if that maybe helps any...

If uploaders have long queues and low speeds, it would be slow no matter how good are your settings.
You might read this page, and others in Docs too.
Is the weekend a busy download time usually? Could that have something to do with it, as I started encountering this problem Saturday morning.

That said, is there a way I can keep and import the files that have partially downloaded, as well as the ones in the queue that hadn't downloaded at all (it took forever to search for a lot of these file, and I'd really not like to have go to go through that again once I reinstall!)
Thanks for helping a dummy such as myself by the way!

eMule is a file sharing application, not a downloader.
More peers usually give faster download, not slower.
Reinstall was never the right way to fix eMule issues.
But, if you insist on that, please see in the Docs (the button at the top of this page) - somewhere there were guides explaining how to move things to another location and keep the data.

Oh, well, shows how much I know about this kind of stuff! Even with the reinstall, I am still getting the issues it seems, though periodically it's really speedy, so I guess it's just the nature of this thing, eh?
