eMule is a popular network client designed for exchanging ED2K files. In other words, this utility is a PC file download manager for users of the world wide web who also have the eMule program installed.
EMule overview
eMule was developed on May 13, 2002 by a team of programmers who want to find a worthy alternative to the original client of the popular eDokney2000 network for Windows. The challenge was to create a download manager with advanced features and an attractive interface. The eMule client instantly became popular, displacing all competitors for ED2K from the market for similar software. Based on it, numerous modifications have been created, including cross-platform mods.
The key difference between the program and other P2P clients is open source. This feature saves the user from intrusive advertising and the risk of getting malware on the computer.
