More like the big bang!

True, but that doesn’t mean it was war tourists doing the shooting.

Isn’t that a recent accusation that it’s still being investigated?

Sarajevo Safari is the name for an alleged war tourism

So it’s not proven that happened.

probably a mix of both.

From perplexity because i’m lazy:

The core difference is that eMule uses a persistent, pairwise “credit” score that carries over across files and sessions, while BitTorrent uses a short‑term, per‑swarm “tit‑for‑tat” mechanism with no lasting credit between peers

EDIT: Also emule has a block size of 9Mib while bt has a 512kb which at the time (let’s say 2005) was too ambitious for the speeds the users had at home. The 9MiB block is now ok :-)

a p2p network and program. Like bittorrent but with the search included in the program.

There’s also upload credits like BT, but it rewards long time users so it’s less forgiving than bt, which then new users find disappointing because they don’t reach high speeds as fast or easily (at least in the begining). This also causes a lack of new users, which will then make it hard to reach high speeds - making it a doom loop: low speeds -> no new users -> low speeds.

However it still has a dedicated community.

However it has an advantage, which is the easiness of sharing, which makes it good for find hard stuff to find.

For linux use amule (https://github.com/amule-org/amule/releases), and in windows use emule ai (https://github.com/eMuleAI/eMuleAI/releases )
