aMule
Sign in to saveaMule is a free peer-to-peer file sharing utility that works with the eDonkey network and the Kad network, offering similar features to eMule and adding others such as GeoIP (country flags). On August 18, 2003 it was forked from the xMule source code, which itself is a fork of the lMule project, which was the first attempt to bring the eMule client to Linux. These projects were discontinued and aMule is the resulting project, though aMule has less and less resemblance to the client that sired it.

Source code
The amule-project organization is owned solely by Gonosztopi, who became unreachable. With no way to update the organization's infrastructure, the maintainers created the new amule-org organization so that aMule could continue. Active development and all current releases — aMule 3.0.0 and later — now live at amule-org/amule . This repository is kept online for historical reference only. New issues, pull requests, and releases are not accepted here — please use amule-org/amule instead.

aMule shares code with the eMule project. The credit and partials downloads of eMule can be used by aMule and vice versa, making program substitution simple.
