Download eMule 0.50a beta 2

It’s been nearly four years since MetaMachine pulled the plug on the development and distribution of its eDonkey, eDonkey 2000, and Overnet clients. Nevertheless, the alternative, in the form of eMule, for exchanging files via the eDonkey network is still under development. In addition to logging in and communicating via eDonkey servers, this client can handle the Kademlia protocol. The software is available for the Windows platform and provided with a new beta release by the developers. The version has arrived at issue 0.50a beta 2 and includes the following list of changes:
