General

Nick
You can set a nickname that users you upload to will recognize you by. Please change the default nickname for a proper one. A nickname can be changed at anytime without influence to your credits.

Language
You can choose desirable interface language. Translation is always a 'work in progress', so if you want to help then check Translation forum.

3D Depth
There are different ways of drawing the download/upload progress bars. From a rich 3D design to an aqua style while going through the standard flat style. You can choose between any of them.

Beep on errors
When an error such as insufficient disk space occurs the system beep sounds to alert you of the problem.

Show Splashscreen
Enable/disable the splash screen each time you start eMule Plus.

Allow multiple instances of eMule
With this option enabled you will have a choice to run multiple eMules on the same computer. Every instance has to be installed in a separate folder and be configured to use different TCP and UPD ports. Be aware that you cannot use the same temporary directory by multiple instances at the same time.

Enable Online-Signature
You will need this option enabled to publish your data in a signature. The file onlinesig.dat will be created and updated in the eMule Plus main directory. The data shown includes an online status, transfer speeds (download & upload), the server you are connected to and total number of users in queue. One of the programs (not the only one) that supports eMule Plus can be downloaded from http://onlinesig.sourceforge.net/

Doubleclick on client display details
Instead of initiating a chat session while double clicking a client you can open his details.

Autotake ED2K links only during runtime
With this option set ED2K links are only taken while eMule Plus is running. After application closure, the links are returned to the state before starting eMule Plus. This is useful to run multiple clients on the same computer.

Watch clipboard for ED2K file links
With this option set eMule Plus will monitor the Windows clipboard for ED2K links and add them as they appear.

Export localized ed2k links
When option is enabled, "Copy ed2k link to clipboard" options will allow non-Latin characters in the file name of the link (converted based on local code page), otherwise a standard link will be generated where such characters will be replaced with hexdecimal sequences (e.g. %AB).

Update fake list at Startup
Allows you to download an updated fake list every time you restart the client.

Update
Force the download of an updated fake list.

from this URL (ed2kfakes.txt)
The URL where the fakelist version information is located. This file contains the version number and an ed2k-filelink of fakes.rar which is added to your downloads and unpacked after completion automatically.

Tooltip Delay Time (seconds)
Tooltips with file/source/server information are show when the mouse cursor hovers over an object. This setting allows you to set time duration the cursor needs to hover before a tooltip appears. Set to zero to disable tooltips.

ED2K Links
Set your eMule Plus as the default application for ed2k:// links. This will take control from other applications such as eDonkey 2000 or OverNet. If you don't want this to happen then manually add links in the search window (Direct Download).

Edit WebServices
Opens webservices.dat file to edit WebServices.

Main Process Priority
Sets the process priority used by eMule Plus. A high priority setting will give a more responsive client but will use more CPU. Note: this high priority has less effect than OS process priority configured in Task Manager.
