The "all-platform eMule", it is a eMule-like client for ed2k network, supporting Linux, *BSD platforms, Solaris, MacOSX and Win32. It was forked from xMule project back in september 2003 (not related to it anymore, except little bits of old code), to drive it to a brand new direction and quality. aMule is using wxWidgets (formely known as wxWindows) in order to provide multiplatform support.
Here are some key features of "aMule":
· aMule works on Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Windows, and probably other OSs that noone tested yet.
· aMule works on x86, amd64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, alpha, and AFAIK arm (probably others also) CPU architectures.
· aMule has core/GUI separation, a mature daemon, and a not-so-mature-but-still-working remote GUI, along with the webserver and the text-mode user interface (amulecmd).
· aMule has the latest improvements on ed2k protocol, both on eserver compatibility (thanks lugdunum) and clientclient communication (thanks eMule dev. team). This includes eMule extensions over original ed2k protocol.
· aMule supports all wxWidgets flavours from 2.4.2 to the brand new 2.6.0. The recomended version is, however, wxWidgets 2.6.0.
· aMule supports Unicode on GUI, internals, and network, and its totally or partially translated to 28 languages
· And last but not least, aMule has the best users and supporters community I've ever seen. I said it and I'll say it again: without you guys, this project would have never reached its current state.
