eMule description
Filesharing client based on the eDonkey2000 protocol

eMule is a filesharing client based on the eDonkey2000 protocol. Which means you are able to connect to official eDoneky2000 clients and visa-versa usign eMule.

Some factors that influence the download speed:
· eMules settings
· High ID (Firewall and router settings)
· Duration of the eMule session
· Number of sources for a download
· Availability of single parts
· Popularity of the download

Wrong settings in eMule (wrong limits, too many connections), a low ID and a short sessions durations have a bad impact on download speed. Very popular files (new releases) and generally files with a low number of sources or bad part spreading also cause low download rates.

Here are some key features of "eMule":

· Clients use several networks to create one reliable network. (ED2K, Source Exchange, Kad)
· Kad is now in an open testphase, eMule v0.42 can be enabled to use Kad
· eMule's Queue and Credit system helps to ensure that everyone will get the file he wants by promoting those that upload back to the network.
· eMule is completely free. eMule is also completely free of any Adware, Spyware, and etc. We do this for fun and knowledge, not for money.
· Each file checked for corruptions while downloading to ensure an error free file.
· The eMules Intelligent Corruption Control helps to speed up the correction of corrupted parts.
· Auto priorities and Source management allows you to start many downloads without having to monitor them.
· The Preview function allows you to look at your Videos and Archives before they are completed. For video previewing, we recommend the Video Lan Client.
· The eMule features webservices and a webserver that allows you to have quick access to and from the internet.
· You can create categories for your download to organize them.
· To find the file you want, eMule offers a wide range of search possibilities which include: Servers (Local, and Global), web based (Jigle, and Filedonkey), and Kad (Still in Alpha).
· eMule also allows you to use very complex Boolean searches that make the searches much more flexible.
