| − | + | Just copy the files from the binary package into your eMule directory. The only thing really required is replacing the emule.exe. All your credits and current downloads will be maintained. Never throw away cryptkey.dat & preferences.dat from your config dir since they represent your identity which is the key to accessing all your credits. | |

A practical method for controlling the upgrade mechanism could be to open the eMule directory and the installation archive in two windows of your file manager side by side, then sort both windows by last modification date descending. This way you'll see which files have changed and need to be added/replaced. Likely candidates for any such incremental change are files for the webserver interface. | A practical method for controlling the upgrade mechanism could be to open the eMule directory and the installation archive in two windows of your file manager side by side, then sort both windows by last modification date descending.

You do not need to run/install official eMule to use morph. Everything is in one big package. This is not a plugin, it a a complete replacement. |

Likewise when you upload to people, they may remember you (if they use a credit system), and if you download from them, they will give you some preference until the preference you've earned is "used up". (Actually the term "credits" is a simplification for the purpose of illustration. What's actually being stored is the amount of bytes being uploaded resp. downloaded between two specific clients, and how this pair of values is then being interpreted as "credits" is up to the specific credit system used by the client storing these values. So it's unlikely to completely "use up" one's credits, it's just that the ratio between uploaded and downloaded volume to any specific client increases with each upload and decreased with each download, and most credit systems are based on the ratio bzw. the difference between these values.) | Likewise when you upload to people, they may remember you (if they use a credit system), and if you download from them, they will give you some preference until the preference you've earned is "used up".

| − | + | =Why I can only set 60-255 upload slots..I want to set it to 5 upload slots.= | |
| − | + | Answer: setting this limit too low would result in sub-optimal use of you upload capacitity. the 60-255 option is only there for high speed uploaders (>300 kb/s up) where it would be rediculous to open more than 100 slots. With the default settings morph will already minimize the number of open slots. This limit is only to prevent bad settings opening many many slots. | |
| − | + | = There are too many upload slots with a low speed = | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | ||
If Morph cannot set the speed to the set upload speed it will try to add additional upload slots. So the first thing to check is if you upload is set correctly. | If Morph cannot set the speed to the set upload speed it will try to add additional upload slots.

Also check if the setting of "remove spare trickle slots". When the situation that caused the many new open slots solves this should put the trickle slot users back in the queue. Does morph still open this many slots if you set the upload speed a little bit lower? |
| − | There is also a slot limiter in Morph starting in 8.5 ( | + | There is also a slot limiter in Morph starting in 8.5 (In some versions before Morph 8.5, it is there as well, but not configurable). The default upload speed/3 should be an ok limit for most people. The best option to configure Morph right is unlimited. Then you should tune all other parameters until no more extra slots are added. The 60-255 option is available for people with a lot of upload because the /3 rule does now work for high uploaders. Remember that slot focus (minimal slots) has priority over the slot limiter. |
