#REDIRECT [[AMule]]
The "[http://www.amule.org all-platform eMule]", it is an [[eMule]]-like client for [[FAQ_eD2k/Kademlia|ed2k network]], supporting [http://www.kernel.org Linux], *[http://www.bsd.org BSD] platforms, [http://www.sun.com/solaris Solaris], *[http://www.apple.com/macosx MacOSX], *[http://www.microsoft.com/windows Win32] and [http://www.microsoft.com/xbox Xbox] (*soon). It was forked from [[xMule]] (formely known as [[lMule]]) project back in september 2003 (not related to it anymore, except little bits of old code), to drive it to a brand new direction and quality. Uses [[wxWidgets]] (formely known as [[wxWidgets|wxWindows]]) for multiplatform support.==
