Almost not. I believe at one point there was a emule modification to disable upload, but it got banned from the emule forums, or something along those lines. If it's a picture or something, you could probably remove it from your library fast enough not to share it, but for movies, it's pretty much impossible NOT to share.

if its possible in the emule not to share and not to upload files?only download them...?

I highly doubt you'd get in much trouble, as far as I know, lithuania isn't a prime target for sueing yet, plus emule relies on that people shares, the more you upload, the more credits you have.

Try a program called NetLimiter.

I use this when downloading certain files. It will stop uploads, but I don't think it will stop them from knowing you have either partial files or the full file. I'm pretty sure your IP address still would show up as an uploader.

With emule or edonkey...it's pretty useless to use Netlimiter.....doesn't give you anonymity and hinders your download speeds.

Don't use any file sharing program if you plan to not upload.

Yes....but you have to be smart about what and how much you upload.

Of course, donīt use eMule.

only download them...?

NO. That is the reason I use it and why the donkey network has now the most users. Freeloaders have enough nets where they can leech.

@ Napster Fan
Please remove that link. It is a bad idea to link to a mod that can disable uploads.

If you don't upload, then you can't call it file-SHARING, can you?

I hope this mod will be blocked.

@ Napster Fan remove the link!!!
