Softpedia Editor's Review for aMule
|
An intuitive peer-to-peer sharing client
Written by Bogdan Popa on October 25th, 2011
File sharing is one of the most popular online activities nowadays, but it’s still hard to decide which kind of application really fits you well.
If BitTorrent is not exactly your thing, aMule might come with something different. A peer-to-peer file sharing client by definition, aMule is an eMule-like software solution that comes to serve the same goal: exchange files over the Internet.
Installation takes only a minute and there’s nothing too difficult, so let’s skip to the real fun part.
The interface might seem a bit overwhelming for first-time users, but it’s only a matter of time until getting used to it. It actually looks that way because aMule has tons of features, so they have to be organized somehow.
If you’re new into aMule, the application will automatically download a server list for you, so you will be able to find large communities where you can not only exchange files but also make new friends.
There’s of course a search function which brought a lot of results during our testing, actually a living proof that aMule might be a top solution when trying to share files online.
aMule is not a resource eater and works pretty fast, but download speeds will depend on your Internet connection and computer. It won’t eat up the RAM and the CPU unless you download large files at very high speeds, so it’s only up to you and your machine.
All in all, the fact that it’s free might recommend aMule as a great pick when looking for methods to share files on the Internet, so give it a try to see what it’s up to.

aMule description
|
Here are some key features of "aMule":
· Multiplatform.
· Proxy support.
· Improved checks against aggressive clients.
· Complete External Connections protocol from scratch.
· aMule Daemon allows you to run a bare aMule client with no graphical interface and very low CPU and memory usage. Ideal for servers, people who usually control aMule remotely and those who just usually don't keep taking a look at how far downloads are going.
· aMule Remote GUI to control your aMule remotely as if you where in front of it.
· aMuleWeb for browser interface and amulwebDLG is a graphical interface to aMuleWeb. They also work both locally and from remote clients. You can control your aMule from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection and a browser, no matter what hardware or operating system you use! ;)
· PHP (specific implementation) support in aMuleWeb
· The amulecmd command line interface and amulecmdDLG as a graphical command line interface both allow to remotely control aMule too. All of them work both locally and from remote clients. You can control your aMule remotely from anywhere as if you were in a shell!
· Slot allocation allows you to specify to how many clients you wish to upload to at once. For example, if you have 20KB/s for your maximum upload, you can set slot allocation to 10KB/s which means that you will upload to two users with 10KB/s each.
· Other utilities such as CAS, wxCAS, aLC, XAS, AMPS, etc.
· Fast eD2k links handler at the bottom of every page (can be disabled on Preferences).
· Run a command when a file is completed.
· Save 10 sources on rare files when usefull (20 or less sources).
· Filter search results.
· Default file permissions for completed downloads.
· Multiple filesystems support.
· Version updates checks.
