JumpStart!

This new option is specially designed for individual releasers on slow connections, as well as it helps to minimize releaser’s upload traffic during distribution.

It works as following:
1. Individual releaser shares a file.

2. Every client who wants to download that file is going to see only two chunks of that file for duration of JumpStart period.
3. Each client sees two different chunks or if too many clients want that file, two least seen chunks.
4. As soon as a chunk has been downloaded no one is going to see that chunk again for duration of JumpStart period (but you might have some clients in the queue for that already downloaded part).
5. As soon as all chunks have been downloaded JumpStart period is over and everyone can see a full file.

So, by the end of JumpStart period all chunks will be uploaded at least once and our tests (more than 30 Jumps) show that in the most cases all chunks are uploaded at least once when total traffic for a released file is around 150-200% of the file size (e.g. all chunks for 600Mb file can be uploaded with 900Mb total traffic for that file).

Things you have to know:
1. Only for new releases! You cannot expect good results from JumpStart if a file is already spread. It might happen that some part is so well spread that no one will download it from you and in this case JumpStart will be waiting forever, you will be a ‘No needed parts’ source from other client’s point of view. It is possible to turn JumpStart off any time you wish.

2. For the same reason as #1 you cannot release from many sources (e.g. release groups).
3. It works only for complete files.
4. JumpStart stores data (e.g. already downloaded chunks) in the database so it’s safe to restart eMule Plus.

To activate JumpStart you have to go to Shared Files, JumpStart option is in the Priority context menu. Please note that file priority (e.g. Release) and JumpStart are two different things, JumpStart can be activated with any Priority. You can watch JumpStart messages in the debug log.

First of all we want to create a folder were we can share our to-be-released files first. Then once the folder has been created we want to go into eMule Plus Preferences and find the folder and make sure we tick it to make it available for sharing, so we can share the contents of the folder.

Next we go to our Shared Files in eMule Plus, then we find our file that we want to release and we right click on it go to Priority >>Release (because we want it to be released to the public) >> JumpStart (because we want to give it higher priority over the other files that we are sharing). Also we right click on the file again and go to Permission >>Public so that we know for sure the file is made public so other can download it.

And finally we want to post our file to the forum as a ED2k link. We just simply want to copy the link to the clipboard. We don’t want to copy the link as HTML or Source, because the forum does the hard work and makes workable with eMule clients.

Hope it helped and that the above guide was what you are actually looking for. As far as I am aware, not that I know, but there are other clients which have better uploading speed/options than other clients for ED2k files. And those clients are used specially by people who release new files to the ED2k network often. So it is worth asking around people who release new files what clients they use, etc.

The above is simple to give you a basic idea of what you actually need to do to release a new file on the ED2k network. Options may be different on different clients.
