In addition, eMule zlib compression format to transmit data to save bandwidth.

With Microsoft Visual c + + compiler eMule, USES the MFC. Because eMule open source, its code base was also Linux the workbench client xMule and cross-platform client aMule, JMule use. Also eMule also derives a lot of revision, namely eMule Mod (s).

For a long time is eMule download SourceForge web site most software. By September 2009, the official eMule download hits in the SourceForge already more than 5 billion.

May 13, 2002, Breitkreuz (specific Hendrik Hendrik bretter cruz) was not satisfied Merkur, eDonkey2000 client, and believing that they can make better P2P software, hence then began to develop a new P2P sharing software.

The v0.40 eMule joining in Kad network support. The Internet use Kademlia agreement with different eDonkey network, it doesn't rely on a central server, a distributed, but use hash tables computing systems. Another search also change as the search, which allows the user to unicode search non-latin characters can be. At the same time, also can search to the unfinished eDonkey network. The source file It also joined a damaged source to automatically list, the list of the IP address of the joining connection fails, in a period of time will no longer connected to this address.

0.46 b eMule joined "of eMule collection" function, can be many eD2k link for a collection issued to download.

They can't imagine this decision will bring what kind of impact...

Today, the world's largest eMule is the most reliable peer-to-peer file sharing client one. Because it pursues development policy of the source code, many developers to eMule engineering contribute. With each version of the release, developer network eMule have become more efficient.
