A modern fork of the classic open-source eMule P2P file sharing client.
eMule AI modernizes the classic eMule experience with improvements focused on today's networks, hardware, and usability.
For feature overviews, installation help, migration guidance, settings reference, NAT Traversal and uTP documentation, release notes, and troubleshooting, visit the official documentation hub:

For installation and upgrade guidance, use the official documentation:
eMule AI can work with existing eMule configuration files, including .ini, .dat, and .met files.
However, known.met and StoredSearches.met use an updated structure in eMule AI. Once these files are updated by eMule AI, they are no longer backward compatible with the original eMule client.
Before migrating, back up your entire existing eMule configuration folder.
Although migration is supported, a clean configuration is generally recommended to benefit fully from modern defaults and newer tuning improvements.
The official documentation hub is the primary source for installation help, migration guidance, settings reference, release notes, and troubleshooting:
Some features require user-supplied external files such as server.met, nodes.dat, ipfilter.dat, or GeoLite2-City.mmdb.
If you already have these files, copy them to the eMule AI config directory and restart the application.
You can also load server.met from Servers -> Update server.met from URL, nodes.dat from Kad -> Nodes.dat from URL, and ipfilter.dat or ipfilter.zip from Options -> Security -> IP Filter -> Update from URL.
GeoLite2-City.mmdb must be downloaded separately from MaxMind at %s and is subject to MaxMind's terms. After copying it to the eMule AI config directory, enable GeoLite2 in Settings and restart the application.
Please use only sources you trust and review their origin, terms, license conditions, and legal status before use.
