e-Mule help

[LLJade]

Hey, I uploaded e-Mule into my comp so I could download some english dubbed eps of Astro Boy and well, to be honest, I have no clue what I'm doing. I know how to pick out the files that I want, I just don't know how to view them when their done. Another strange thing is that they seem to be taking a very long time. It's been 3 whole days and most of them are still in the blue. Can someone please explain to me how to use this thing?

I had no luck with eMule, so I tried eDonkey and am now using Overnet. The files will only download as the parts you need become available. Sometimes this can take a only a few hours (I downloaded Atom 50.avi very quickly), and sometimes it takes a long time. I myself had 99.98% of one video downloaded, with no more progress for over three weeks. I eventually gave up on it, since it was 1.7 GB and my HD was almost full. In reference to the latter,when you search for a file, the search window displays the availabilty. That is a number representing how many different places have it. However, the thing might be counting incomplete sources. I suggest reading the help files and checking the forums for eMule.
