This summer, more precisely on the middle of July, I made 3 years using eMule. I was planning on making this post on the anniversary day, not to brag about what I’ve done with eMule and what not, but more about showing what’s a normal usage of eMule over the years. (more…)

Zzul 20070629-0947 (eMule 0.48a)

It seems that when I was making my Understanding eMule articles, I forgot to check for the latest ZZUL version. Well, it seems that almost a month ago, the code stopped being in beta and ZZ has released binaries of eMule ZZUL 20070629-0947 (based on eMule 0.48a). This is the only eMule mod I recommend, besides the official eMule 0.48a.

Two evil devil servers

In the second part of my Understanding eMule series, I advised against evil devil servers in the eDonkey network, which could return false files among other things. I suggested cleaning the list and using the good server list made available by Maurice: “http://ocbmaurice.no-ip.org/pl/slist.pl/server.met?download/server-good.met”

However, in the last month or so I’ve been seeing false results in my eMule search, due to one of these bad servers. Today, since I was bored, I actually bothered searching for the evil devil server impostor in Maurice’s good list. It turns out that they’re not one, but two servers. Their IP address are 212.179.133.218 and 212.179.133.219. Please go to your server list, search for these two false, evil devil servers named Wmule, and delete them! (more…)

Understanding eMule (part 1)

In my experience, the people around me in general doesn’t seem to understand very well how does work all this of P2P, BitTorrent, eMule/eDonkey, etc. Personally I use eMule, after having tried many other P2P methods.

This article is the first of a series which tries to show how to use eMule efficiently and safely, taking advantage of its particularities and trying to overcome its limitations. (more…)

eMule 0.48a

I saw this morning that eMule has been updated. eMule is my current choice for P2P file sharing, it’s quite nice and popular. I suggest all the users to upgrade to eMule 0.48a, or if you haven’t tried it, do it now. It is different from BitTorrent, just another league. Better for non 0-dayz stuff. Edit: The new 0.48a is faster, more responsive, consumes less resources and it’s a must update. Please update ASAP!

This morning was also the first one in a long time that I didn’t find any spambots in the board. KittenAuth rules!
