Publisher's Description
From aMule Project:
aMule is an eMule-like client for the eD2k and Kademlia networks, supporting multiple platforms. Currently aMule (officially) supports a wide variety of platforms and operating systems, being compatible with more than 60 different hardware+OS configurations. aMule is entirely free, it's sourcecode released under the GPL just like eMule, and includes no adware or spyware as is often found in proprietary P2P applications. aMule is built upon the wxWidgets (formely wxWindows) toolkit, which enables it to support multiple platforms.

- Fixed possible security hole when previewing filenames containing single quotes

"Regardless of routing settings still LOW ID"
Version: aMule 2.2.5
Pros
Gives hope for Mac users to join ED2K network
Cons
You can only connect with LOW ID status
Summary
I'm a Mac power user. That means:
1) I replace my own macbook pro santa rosa hard drives
2) I manually override almost all default settings
3) My mac is a single hard drive with 3 partitions & tons of VMs and I can still figure out how to get bootcamp running flawlessly.
Always gives mac user a LOW ID no matter what you do with TCP, UDP, uPnP routings, firewall overrides, & etc.
This software needs to go back to sketchbook/drawing pad/what ever programmers call it these days. -
"Best eMule protocol client"
Version: aMule 2.0.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Although not the simplest P2P client, it has good features and much better capabilities than the eDonkey client. It actually manages to download the files in your search.
Although it's not the fastest downloader, the eMule/eDonkey network is great and you can find stuff you'd never be able to anywhere else. Just have patience and leave the download running and eventually you'll get what you need.
Some things that could use work is the interface, to make it more Cocoa-like, and the file structure it uses to save downloads and preferences. Other than that, it's a nice client and quite stable. -
"P2P â? P2P"
Version: aMule 2.0.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I think some of the previous reviewers made a mistake when they tried to compare the different services.
In general one might be right if stating that aMule is more complicated. Although I think to remember that I got an server.met file when I downloaded aMule the first time. But it doesn't matter. If someone is willing to use the app and in most cases to cross the border of what is legal, he should be willing to read a bit more about what he is doing there. And in case you are doing so, aMule is a nice product. There is still a lot to learn from its big brother eMule. But anyways the best app for this protocol. and if you are looking for some rare ****, aMule will be your friend. you will find stuff you do not find on any other network. so take your time and give it another try. -

"sometimes crashes, poor look, still best to use"
Version: aMule 0.2.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I haven't really been able to download things with mlMac before (severs blocken my IP, download turned to 0 after a while...). Now I tried this. And it works very well. Great download rates, look (functional but ugly) and feel of eMule (Windows). Sometimes crashes. Still the best to use on the mac. If the developpers work on, macs will finally be as good as windows pcs on the edonkey network. -
"Works great on Linux,"

Summary

"Don't Bother. Broken or wrong files. Who knows what..."
Version: aMule 0.2.0
Summary
...you get.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I was looking for some software for the Donkey Network for the Mac that is newer than what I have (mlMac). The information page says its an 8.7 meg download. Seems kind of large for a simple P2P program but whatever.
The download starts and the file is named "amule_normal.sit", it's actually 22.3 megs! Oh well, I may as well look it over. It unstuffs to "amule.dmg" 160 megs!
What can this file be? The description is "edonkey P2P client". I don't think so.
The requirements are OS 10.2 or higher and Fink which I have installed.
I'm running 10.2.8 with 2 gigs ram and dual 1.42 ghz G4's.
The image file won't mount with a "Time Out" message the first time using "Disk Copy" and crashes the Disk Copy program on subsequent tries.
Who knows what this file is? I've deleted it. The software is probably not any better than the quality of the file or the information about it. Chalk up a couple hours wasted!
Seemed kind of strange that the info page says there have been 3,402 downloads without a single feedback before mine. I'd say the Techtracker page is counting hits but not actual downloads.
This file is a complete waste of bandwidth.
