Hi guys:

I am totally unfamiliar with emule. How do I locate it and how do I download something from it?

Hello Frank, happy to help you.
If you go here

http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1

you'll find all the information you need, and downloads.
Anyhow I prefer this eMule variant, that IMHO works better:

http://www.xtreme-mod.net/

The most important thing anyhow is doing settings correctly, and here you'll find the needed help:

http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/help.cgi?l=1

If you need to download e.g. the new Mimas texture from guest jo, you'll put the file name mimas2kalbjpg.zip in the eMule search engine, and you'll find the file available for downloading, if someone sharing it is connected.
Practically your connected PC will share with all the eMule community the files contained in a directory you chose (and from there only!), and the same will happen for all the other connected PC, that will make available for you the files contained in their shared directories.
Involved numbers are very huge, millions of customers and zillions of shared bytes.
Give a try, hope this will help you.
Bye

Thank you Andrea for explaining it, I wouldn??t have done it so good and I know only the german help sites.

What I would like to add before the difficulties start is that it makes sense to read the texts about routers and emule carefully.
It??s not difficult but with routers you have to take care that the necessary ports are connected through the router to your pc.
Once everything is running it is a nice tool to share even big files.
I am running the standard version 0.47a with no problems.

Guest jo, I agree with you on the (not so big) difficulty of adjusting and tuning routers and preferences, but the on line help is so clear that even an old, software ignorant man like me has been able to make it work correctly, surely Frank will do it in a flash.

Ok
The forums here in Germany are ful of " why do I get a low id ... ? " stuff...
so I thought I??d better point to the router thing.

BTW: I used an FTP-programme for the first time today so hopefully mimas and enceladus are on ML soon...

Greetings,

Mimas is a good example of a triaxial ellipsoid. My map is in planetocentric coordinates. Will this match what Celestia expects, or is Celestia looking only for a planetographic map?

Thanks,

Steve

Greetings,

I've updated my Dione map, now at 8K. The image mapping is a bit off, so I hope to improve on this during the coming week.

Steve,

almost all of your maps I have embedded in my Celestia directory. At least as LOK's or AltSurface's.
Hm..., what could I say more now...?
Only... Thanks

Best Regards
Michael
