The priority setting for files allows a user to choose which files should be downloaded or uploaded faster than others, where possible; in other words, which files are more urgent than others.

For downloading files, the following possible priority values exist.

  • High: There is a desire to download the file.
  • Medium: There is no desire to download the file but it is definitely more urgent than those with low priority.
  • Low: There is no desire to download the file.
  • Auto: Let aMule decide which files should take priority, depending on the number of sources they have.

For uploading files, the following possible priority values exist:

  • Release: You want to release this file and make it as publicly available to as you possibly can.
  • Very high: It is really important to you that clients get this file.
  • High: There is an urge to upload the file to as much clients as possible.
  • Medium: There is no urge to upload the file but it is definitely more urgent than those with low priority.
  • Low: There is no urge to upload the file.
  • Very low: There is no urge at all to upload the file.
  • Auto: Let aMule decide which files should take more priority over others depending on the number of clients asking for them.
