KilJaden Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 eMule is a popular, open source P2P (peer-to-peer) file sharing client for Microsoft Windows, based on the eDonkey2000 protocol. Started in May 2002 as an alternative to eDonkey2000, eMule now connects to both the eDonkey network and the Kad network. The distinguishing features of eMule are the direct exchange of sources between client nodes, fast recovery of corrupted downloads, and the use of a credit system to reward frequent uploaders. Furthermore, eMule transmits data in zlib-compressed form to save bandwidth.eMule is coded in Microsoft Visual C++ using the Microsoft Foundation Classes. As of July 2002 eMule has been free software, released under the GNU General Public License; its popularity has led to eMule's codebase being used as the basis of a Linux-specific client, xMule, and a multiplatform client, aMule, along with the release of many eMule mods (modifications of the original eMule) on the Internet. eMule is one of the biggest and most reliable P2P file sharing clients around the world. Many developers contribute to the project, so the network gets more and more efficient with every new version.Changes in eMule 0.49 beta 2 - Jul, 28. 2008 ------------------------.: Added deleting of single entries from AutoComplete drop down lists by pressing the DEL key..: Added a new search method option "Automatic" which lets eMule choose which search method to use. eMule will select either Servers (Local) or Kad, based on which network we are connected to and some other indicators if connected to both networks..: Removed a general exception handler for the Beta version. This means eMule crashes instead of ignoring unexpected errors, which however is needed so we actually can find such bugs (if any exist) in the crashdumps.------------------------ Jul, 26. 2008 ------------------------.: Implemented a special nodes.dat version, which is more suited for mass distribution without causing significant additional traffic for the included nodes. This hopefully allows us to add a nodes.dat to the installer, so that new user can connect to Kad without having to connect to servers or downloading a nodes.dat themself------------------------ Jul, 14. 2008 ------------------------.: Implemented an alternate method to estimate the total user count in the Kad network, which is not based on our local routing table. Its experimental and only shown in the network dialog (double click the world icon in the status bar).: Adjusted the displaying of the user count by not showing numbers for a network we are nto connected to------------------------ Jul, 19. 2008 ------------------------.: Fixed a minor bug with kad obfuscation when contacting answering unbofuscated hello-requests.: Made sure that only one challenge to verify a contact is sent at a time to the same IPHomepage - http://www.emule-project.netSize: 3.15 MBDownload Beta/Final http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53489 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
