Sharing uncompleted files

Hi everybody,

Just installed eMule and tested it. Is it possible to share ONLY completed, checked files?

Now eMule starts to share immediately after getting first 10 Mb of any file. I would like to check (md5sum) first and share only if everything is OK.

Any help or ideas?

short answer is no.
long answer is if you put the entire directory on (very) low priority and the completed files on high priority (not auto), the effect is similar. this can be done in the shared files screen by right clicking on the relative directories and selecting appropriate priority from the priority(upload) popup list in the right click menu.

Yes, you can make similar effect like gambit3 sais. But generally it's better to share everything, including the incomplete files. Some files have just one or two sources, for such files every incomplete source is also a good help in spreading them. eMule has built-in consistency check for all incoming files, and also everyone is advised to check all new files with Wilhelm or MD5 anyway.

All right, thank you for quick answers.

I'll check the files as soon as those are completed.
