eMule 0.50a Beta 1

eMule是一款由eDonkey2000改良而成的P2P檔案分享工具，主要解決用戶在eDonkey網路上分享與下載檔案的需求。它的辨識度特色在於能預覽未完成下載的影像或檔案，並可設定優先來源管理，讓用戶同時大量下載而不需緊盯來源。此外，它與eDonkey2000相容，資源互通，並自動偵測檔案損壞以確保正確性。在維護方面，eMule近期仍有更新，但頻率不高；在同類工具中，它屬於經典且評價不錯的選項，不過並非主流首選。

eMule適合需要下載eDonkey網路資源的用戶，尤其是偏好P2P分享、不介意英文介面的使用者。常見情境包括下載大型影音檔案或參與社群分享。與替代軟體相比，eMule採用eDonkey協議，而uTorrent走BT、IDM專注HTTP下載，因此選擇它意味著接受較慢的傳輸速度，但換取更廣的eDonkey資源。授權為開源，平台僅限Windows，且僅支援英文，使用時需留意介面語言。整體而言，它是小眾但穩定的選擇，適合特定需求。

eMule 是一款點對點（P2P）檔案分享軟體，在線上檔案分享領域中已屹立超過二十年。

由 Merkur 開發，最初於 2002 年發布，並迅速因其高效且可靠的檔案分享能力而廣受歡迎。

與其他 P2P 用戶端不同，eMule for PC 是開放原始碼軟體，意味著它由一群專注的開發者社群持續改進。



主要功能

使用者友善介面：提供直觀且簡單明瞭的使用者介面，即使是 P2P 檔案分享的新手也能輕鬆上手。

官方版（請參考我們的舊版本）
官方版是 eMule 團隊所發布的最新穩定版本。

常見問題

eMule 使用安全嗎？
這款軟體一般來說使用安全，但與任何 P2P 軟體一樣，務必謹慎使用，並避免未經授權下載受版權保護的內容。

可以用 eMule 下載種子（torrent）嗎？
不行，這款軟體是專為 eDonkey2000 與 Kad 網路設計，並非用於種子下載。

如何加快 eMule 的下載速度？
可以嘗試連線至高容量伺服器、開放更多上傳槽，並確保防火牆／路由器設定允許 eMule 正常運作。

eMule 有 macOS 與 Linux 版本嗎？
雖然 eMule 的主要開發專注於 Windows，但 macOS 與 Linux 平台有非官方版本及其他替代 P2P 用戶端可用。

eMule 仍持續維護嗎？
eMule 是開放原始碼軟體，雖然更新頻率可能不高，但受惠於一群持續投入的開發者社群，仍會繼續維護。

替代方案

BitTorrent - 適合種子下載，BitTorrent 提供多種功能與龐大的使用者基礎。

qBittorrent - 免費且開放原始碼的種子用戶端，介面友善且無廣告。

uTorrent - 輕量且受歡迎的種子用戶端，介面簡潔。

系統需求

本程式相容於 Windows 作業系統，包括 Windows 11、Windows 10、Windows 8、Windows 7 及更舊版本。

官方不提供 macOS 或 Linux 版本，但這些平台有非官方移植版與替代方案可用。

優點

• 高效且可靠的檔案分享。
• 開放原始碼且免費使用。
• 使用者友善介面。
• 活躍的社群支援。
• 隱私與安全功能。

缺點

• 平台支援有限（僅限 Windows）。
• 更新頻率可能不高。
• 不支援種子下載。

結論

eMule 歷經時間考驗，仍是一款可靠且使用者友善的 P2P 檔案分享應用程式。其高效的下載與上傳能力，加上活躍的開發者社群，使其成為在 eDonkey2000 與 Kad 網路中分享檔案的使用者的可行選擇。

然而，僅支援 Windows 且不支援種子下載，可能限制其對部分使用者的吸引力。如果你正在尋找一款簡單且免費的 P2P 檔案分享工具，它仍是可行的選項，但使用此類軟體時務必謹慎，並尊重著作權法。

-----------------------
.: Added Windows 7 taskbar goodies:
- global progress bar in the eMule taskbar button, progress colors: green when downloading, red when a download is errorous, yellow otherwise
- Taskbar Buttons: when hovering over the eMule taskbar button (connect/disconnect/throttle/unthrottle/open preferences)
- Overlay icon: Overlay icon on the eMule taskbar button indicating active up- and downloads (disabled by default, enable by ini entry "ShowUpDownIconInTaskbar=1").

-----------------------
- Mar, 1. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Tweaked uploadcode to significantly increase the possible uploadspeed per slot especially on LANs, making eMule more suitable for those
.: The number of maximal open upload slots has been decreased to 100
.: Fixed a bug which caused the "Add files to download in paused mode" otpion to not work properly in all cases

-----------------------

-----------------------
- Feb, 19. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed a bug in Kad which would not enforce the search tolerance in certain cases
.: Changed Kad to work better in small LANs. If Kad detects it is running on a LAN (only LAN IPs in the routing table), it will assume beeing open and not behind a NAT/Router without trying to verfiy (which would fail in a small LAN),
and also doesn't enforces several security features like flood detection for LAN IPs. Now even a small Kad LAN of 2 nodes works well without any setup issues
(To create such a Kad LAN, make sure all clients have Options->Extended->"Filter server and client LAN IPS" disabled, delete the existing nodes.dat if necessary, go to the Kad dialog and enter the IP+Port of one other client (which is either connected or in connecting mode for Kad) to the bootstrap box - done)

-----------------------
- Jan, 25. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: The connection wizzard is no longer shown after finishing the first start wizzard (it's deprecated)
.: The first start wizzard is only shown on first starts and no longer after updates

-----------------------
- Jan, 21. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Added a new graph to the Kad window, which lets you watch each Kad lookup in detail. For non-Devs this is just for fun, you don't need to worry about anything shown there. A detailed explanation of the graph can be found in the onlinehelp.
.: Added "Automatically show active searches" option to the context menu of the new graph which lets it switch to active lookups automatically (instead having to select it in the list). Now you can watch Kad working for hours without a click! :)

-----------------------
- Jan, 12. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Added a new dockable toolbar to the transfer dialog. The buttons resemble the context menu options, but making them accessible easier and faster. The toolbar can be removed by right clicking on it and shown again by selecting context menue option of the downloadlist

-----------------------
- Jan, 10. 2010 -
-----------------------

.: The "Unassign" category context menu entry is now only available if a file actually has a category

-----------------------
- Dec, 7. 2009 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed missing setting saving after automatic adapting incoming folders of categories due to changed main incoming folder
.: Fixed a bug with overwriting the nodes.dat on times we actually don't want to write it [Nissenice]
.: Added a quick intermediate fix to make certain Kad lookups more reliable, improving the (search/source-) results in some cases [based on research from http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~hopper/kad.pdf]

-----------------------
- Nov, 28. 2009 -
-----------------------
.: Switched the eMule fileidentifiers from ED2k-Hash + Size to ED2k-Hash + AICH-Hash + Size. This means eMule is now using two hashing algorithms combined (based on MD4 and SHA1) to verify if a received part (and eventually the comlete files) is not corrupt
This change is necessary due to weaknesses in the MD4 algorithm and enables eMule to make sure to never complete a corrupt files for the next decade
All changes are backwards compatible, so no clients or files will be exluded from the network
.: AICH part hashsets are build out of existing AICH recovery hashsets, no rehashing is done
.: AICH verification is enabled when using an ed2k link with included AICH hash, or when searching and downloading a file from Kad when certain requirements are met (this will only start to work once the majority of nodes update)
.: The AICH hash can be seen in the search results list for kad searches if available
.: ed2k links can no longer be created without the AICH Hash, except if it is not available. ed2k links without AICH hash are considered deprecated, but are still accepted by eMule for now

-----------------------
- Nov, 15. 2009 -
-----------------------
.: The shared files list now shows files in root directories properly [dolphinX]
.: Fixed a bug with determining if the filesystem can handle large files when using categories [dolphinX]
.: Added preferences.ini-only option "KeepUnavailableFixedSharedDirs" ("eMule"-Section) which lets eMule keep shared directories on fixed drives even if they are not found anymore
.: Fixed minor memleak on kad searches [tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]
-----------------------
- Oct, 13. 2009 -
-----------------------
.: Added preferences.ini-only option "ForceSpeedsToKB" ("eMule"-Section), which will make eMule display all speed values in KB/s (instead of B/s to TB/s depending on the speed)

-----------------------
- Aug, 7. 2009 -
-----------------------
.: The shared files dialog has now a tab selector, letting you choose to view the statistics,(reduced versions of) the content, ed2k-link or metadata info for the selected file(s)
.: The statistics page on in the shared files dialog also has the following new entries: Popularity rank (ranking all your shared files based on Requests), On Queue (clients on queue for the selected file) and Uploading (current bandwidth used to upload the selected file)
.: The new tabs in the shared files dialog can be closed or restored by an arrow button on the right side

-----------------------
- Aug, 3. 2009 -
-----------------------

-----------------------
- Jul, 20. 2009 -

.: Cleand up options dialog a bit:
The following settings have been removed and are now preferences.ini-only: "BeepOnError", "DontRecreateStatGraphsOnResize", "UpdateQueueListPref", "MessageFromValidSourcesOnly" (Section "eMule") and "EnabledDeprecated" (section "PeerCache")
.: The exit conformation messagebox has now a "Don't ask me again" option
.: Added "Pause on when preview possible" option to the downloadlist context menu. Only visible when "advanced mode controls" is enabled

-----------------------
- Jul, 09. 2009 -
-----------------------
.: Improved storing AICH hashsets after a download has finished - should be much faster now if you share many files
.: Sparse files are available on Windows7 again, Vista stays the only version were they are disabled

-----------------------
- Jun, 12. 2009 -
-----------------------
.: Added basic checks and user warnings for wrong operator usage (like using OR on the first keyword) in Kad. Earlier version just delivered wrong/incomplete results in such cases.

-----------------------
- Jun, 10. 2009 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed a bug in Kad with setting the proper searchkeywords when searching for exact phrases with quotes
.: Fixed a bug with rearranging quoted keywords on kad searches
