Softpedia Editor's Review for eMule
|
Filesharing client based on the eDonkey2000 protocol
Written by Elena Opris on October 3rd, 2012
eMule is a file sharing software, similar to StrongDC++ or ApexDC++. It is based on the eDonkey2000 protocol, so but connects to both eDonkey and Kad networks.
It facilitates the tranmissions of data between client nodes in a fast way. eMule’s advantage comes from the fact that it transfers files using the zlib-compressed format, thus saving a great deal of bandwidth.
The interface is intuitive, so getting around eMule is very simple. You first select a server you wish to connect to, and search for a particular file. If results are not immediately returned, don't despair. It may take eMule a while to get the wheels turning (download speed is usually fast, if the bitrate is good).
For example, when searching for an audio track to download, eMule displays the length of the file, format type, bitrate, and whether it has been already downloaded or not.
Each downloaded file directly goes into shared files, so you can further share it with the rest of the world, but you may also select files to upload from the Options menu.
In addition, you can chat with users and access IRC channels. The Options menu lets you reconfigure your username and language, save CPU and memory usage by disabling the Queue list and Known Clients list, but also select the font of the interface text.
Moreover, you can set the transfer capacity (download and upload limit), schedule a task (i.e. to-do list), enable MobileMule (with a password), and more.
In conclusion, eMule is a great file sharing client, one that doesn’t feed on all your bandwidth. It was and still is the basis of newer, more modern file sharing clients.
