I couldn't connect to eD2K network. Keep getting this message: eDonkeyServer No2 (212.63.206.35:4242) appears to be full.
You can download everything from eMule... that doesn't mean that you'll do that fast.
Only few download are truly faster than a torrent.
I've been using eMule for a long time because it's the best free file sharing application there is.
having used eMule+ with my computer set up as DMZ on the router for the better of 6 years - at that time, emule+ was superior. i recently changed those settings and nothing in emule worked. Installed eMule, used UPnP setting and got right on. Everyone complains about the long wait to download and possibly slow speeds, but i tend to find alot of rare files i can't find in torrents (without signing up to a specialty tracker) or otherwise.
Great software ;) Just does what it needs to do
nice program/
Ahhh... eMule. I remember using this application when I was in my teens. It's free, but that's about all it has going for it. I used this application for a few years back in the day, after Kazaa was taken down and infiltrated by the powers that be. Napster was also gone at this stage, and most p2p started moving to alternative methods such as eMule and BT.
Speeds are generally poor, unless you've left it running for several hours to secure connections, and the GUI isn't overly impressive.
Due to the lack of security (even with additional software to combat this), I avoided eMule & BT (after people started getting notices) and chose a far more reliable, speedier and security enhanced alternative known as Usenet. I haven't looked back.
Pros: Easy to use. Simple for those who don't know any better. Probably the best way to find those more obscure files that no other application / tool can beat.
Cons: Lack of security to the point where it's open season with the "powers that be". Servers normally need to be installed manually by list online. GUI is pretty awful.
Verdict: Avoid unless there's something you really want to get which is obscure / unique. There are far better alternatives.
Good but I don't tend to use software like this theses days.
It's a bit slow with actually downloading the content, but you can find almost anything.
