In May 2002, eMule was released.
The open source software was so popular back in the day that some third-parties created malware-infected versions of it.
eMule uses a system credit to reward uploaders and discourage leechers.
The more files you upload to another user, the more credits you get from that user.
Note that, however, that the credits can only be used on that user alone.
The credits will help you someday when it’s crucial that you download files from that particular user.
Whether or not a file format is supported depends on the media player that you use.
Since searches put a heavy burden on the servers, eMule limits the number of search result.
So, it is important to be as accurate as possible when choosing a search term.
eMule provides advanced search function to refine your search.
These operators must be typed in capital letters so that eMule can distinguish them from the normal search keywords.
The boolean operators are NOT, OR and AND.
On the other hand, files that are already in the download list are marked with a red color.
