Description-en: client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule
aMule is a peer-to-peer file sharing application, designed to connect
to the eDonkey and Kad networks. It has a wide range of features,
including many of the original eMule client, like:
.
* online signature, source exchange, compressed transfers, secure
identification, and IP filter support
* boolean search, which can be local, global, or in the Kad network
* checks against aggressive clients
* slot allocation, to decide the number of remote clients
* systray works well both in GNOME and KDE
* translations to many languages
.
A daemonized version of the application that does not need a graphic
environment to run is available in the amule-daemon package, and
various utilities of interest can be found in the amule-utils and
amule-utils-gui packages, including the ed2k link handler.
