aMule is a multi-platform eMule-like ed2k client.

aMule it is a eMule-like client for ed2k network, supporting Linux, *BSD platforms, Solaris, *MacOSX and *Win32 (*soon).

It was forked from xMule project back in september 2003 (not related to it anymore, except little bits of old code), to drive it to a brand new direction and quality. Uses wxWidgets (formely known as wxWindows) for multiplatform support.

Here are some key features of "aMule":

· Clients use two networks to create one reliable network (ED2K, Source Exchange).
· aMule'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.
· aMule uses the new server protocol like zlib.
· SecureIdent.
· IPFilter reload and "use / don't use" functions (no need to close aMule anymore).
· Localisation: aMule is availabe in more than one language.
· Download Queue: progressbar only - percentage only - both.
· Systray integration.
· Online Signature.
· Leecher ban: Some people use unsocial clients, these clients are banned by aMule.
· aMule is completely free (just like eMule). aMule does not contain Adware or Spyware.
· Each file is checked for corruptions while downloading to ensure an error free file.
· Intelligent Corruption Handler (ICH) helps to speed up the correction of corrupted parts.
· Auto priorities and source management allow you to start many downloads without having to monitor them.
· The Preview function allows you to look at your videos and archives before they are completed.
· For video previewing, MPlayer or Xine is recommanded but Video Lan Client should work too.
· You can create categories to organize your downloads.
· To find the files you want, aMule offers a lot of search possibilities, which are:
· Servers (local and global) and of course direct integration in your favourite browser for easy klick-and-download (with ed2k:// links).
· Messaging and Friend system: you can send messages to other clients and add them as friends.
· In your friend list you can always see if a friend is online.
· aMule supports updating the server list from an URL during run-time.
· You can also configure aMule to download it at startup.
· It also supports updating the server while connecting to a server or a client.
· PowerShare function: better handling of your shared files (release).
· Slot allocation: you can choose how the upload is distributed. For example, if you have 20 kb/s for your maximum upload, you can set slot allocation to 10 kb/s which means that you will upload to two users with 10 kb/s each.
· amulecmd & amulecmdDLG: command line interface or graphical command line interface, to connect to your running aMule and get status or send commands.
· Works locally and from remote clients. NOTE! amulecmd and amulecmdDLG also work in WINDOWS! you can control your linux box from your office's windows.
· Fast ED2K Link handler at the bottom of every page (can be disabled on preferences. Save 5 sources on rare files (
