The first version of eMule appeared on the market in May of 2002, with integrated support to connect to the popular eDoney and Kad network. This app became very popular in the following years because of its ability to smartly manage connections between users, making file transfers faster, files more secure with automated corruption recovery, use of community awards to reward best users, and its use of compressed transfers which enabled users to save on bandwidth. Another very popular feature is the ability to preview audio and video files whose downloads are not finalized.

App offers 7 main categories where users will spend a majority of their time – Kad server listing, eDonkey server listings, Transfers, Search (which supports complex Boolean queries), Shared Files, Messages (you can friend people, exchange messages and see their online status), IRC client and Statistics. The bottom of the app is dedicated to listing current transfers, and app customization options are easily accessible via buttons in the top left corner of the dashboard.
