rashad Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 eMule is a peer-to-peer file sharing application for Microsoft Windows. 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.Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumble Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Does anyone still use emule then? I didn't think anyone would anymore since most of the servers being taken down.Have you never heared about KAD then? :) We don't need servers anymore !Kademlia serverless networkConnecting to the networkThe only thing needed to connect to this network is the IP and port of any eMule client already connected. This is called a Boot Strap.Once a client is in the network, the client then requests for other clients to determine if it can be contacted freely. This process is very similar to the HighID/LowID check on the servers. If you can be freely contacted, you are assigned an ID (similar to a HighID) and given an open status. If you are not freely contacted, you are given a firewalled status. From version v.44a on, the Kademlia network supports a Buddy for firewalled users. Buddies are other Kademlia clients who have status open and work as a relay for connections, that the firewalled user cannot manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
