eMule – a free peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing client for Microsoft Windows that was launched in 2002 as an alternative to eDonkey2000. eMule includes advanced search features, file checks for corruptions while downloading, a preview while downloading function, and a credit system to reward frequent uploads.
eMule connects to both the eDonkey and the Kad networks, which results in a higher transfer speed and faster distribution of popular files. With a vast network of servers and clients (like you) uploading and downloading files all over the world respectively, eMule reduces recovery times for corrupted downloads

– Each file checked for corruptions while downloading to ensure an error free file.
– Intelligent Corruption Control helps to speed up the correction of corrupted parts.
– Auto priorities and Source management allows you to start many downloads without having to monitor them.
– The Preview function allows you to look at your Videos and Archives before they are completed.
– The webservices and a webserver features allows you to have quick access to and from the internet.
