Just a few years ago, eMule started as a concept from a developer who thought that he could improve upon the p2p (peer to peer) eDonkey client for file sharing. Flash forward to today and you will find that e Mule is one of the most dependable and most popular of p2p file sharing clients around. What is so great about this eMule file sharing client is that it is an open source application. That means basically that developers all over the world can have a hand in improving the features and performance of this eMule project.

This free eMule file sharing client was written using the Visual C++ language by Microsoft so therefore it runs on Microsoft operating systems. And for the past several years, because it has been an eMule free download, it was released as an open general public license. Because of this open source, some of the code base for eMule has been used to create other versions like xMule for Linux users as well as many other mods (aka modifications of the downlodable eMule free application). One other such mod is the eMule extreme. This version has a ton of improved features over the original eMule application.

It is important to note that while you can likely download eMule from a variety of websites, the best eMule download center is the one associate with the eMule project. That way you know, for sure, that what you are downloading is safe from spy ware and other malicious bugs that can really make your life and computer miserable.

Once you download e Mule file share for free, you will want to get an eMule server list so that you know which ones are safe. Several websites including the official one for the eMule project will research quite often to ensure that they eMule servers they recommend are problem-free and that downloads will be fairly fast and easy.
