eMule - это клиент для сети обмена файлами ED2K. Проще говоря, менеджер закачки файлов с компьютеров всех пользователей Интернет, пользующихся программой eMule. 13-го мая 2002 года, человек по имени Merkur окончательно разочаровался в оригинальном клиенте для сети eDonkey2000, и он решил, что может сделать гораздо лучше. Он собрал команду разработчиков, и так родился проект eMule. Их целью стало создание нового клиента для сети ED2K (в которой в то время господствовал клиент eDonkey), и дополнить его кучей новых свойств и симпатичным интерфейсом. Они даже представить не могли, что их клиент станет настолько популярным, что практически полностью вытеснит все остальные клиенты для ED2K сети. На сегодняшний день, eMule - один из самых больших и надежных клиентов для сетей обмена файлами peer-to-peer в мире. Благодаря принципам открытого кода (open source), многие разработчики со всего мира могут участвовать в проекте, делая сеть более эффективной с каждой новой версией eMule.

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.
A list of a few features available:
• 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 ect. 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.
