The Queue list shows the clients currently waiting for an upload slot. This
list is shown by pressing On Queue in the Transfers tab.
Most of the values shown are pretty self explaining except Rating and
Score.
Rating
Initially each client on queue has a rating of 100. This start value
is modified according to the shared file the users requests and some other factor:
| > | Banned Modifier:: x0 Banned users get no Rating and thus no upload slot. |
|
| > | Low ID Modifier: none [x0.8] Versions prior v.27a assigned a modifier of 0.8 to low ID users. This has been dropped |
|
| > | Connected Modifier: none [x1.5] The bonus of x1.5 for being already connected has been dropped with v.27a+. |
|
| > | Credits Modifier: x1 - x10 The credit system calculates this major modifier according to the upload / download ratio. |
|
| > | File priority for shared files. Modifier: x1.8 - x0.2 Users requesting a file for download will receive a modifier according to the chosen share priority of the file. Versions prior v.27a use the values in [ ]. |
|
| Release: | x1.8 [x5] | |
| High: | x0.9 [x2] | |
| Normal: | x0.7 [x1] | |
| Low: | x0.6 [x0.5] | |
| Very Low: | x0.2 [x0.2] | |
| > | eMule version older v.20a Modifier: x0.5 Versions prior v.20a cause high network load and get a penalty modifier of x0.5. |
|
Example:
A client has earned a credit modifier of x8 by uploading much. He is requesting
a file with a high priority. His total Rating will be: 100 x 8 x 0.9 = 720
Score
The score is calculated with the same modifiers as described in Rating
but also takes the waiting time of the client into consideration. The score
determines the allocation of free upload slots. Clients with high scores and
*** after the value are next to receive an upload slot.
The formula to calculate the score is:
Score = Rating x [Waiting time in the queue [s]] / 100
Clients with a total modifier > 1 will have a yellow client icon.
