aMule: Il Mulo omni-piattaforma

aMule sta per all-platform Mule.

aMule è un client simile a eMule per le reti eD2k e Kademlia, che supporta più piattaforme.

Attualmente aMule supporta (ufficialmente) una grande varietà di piattaforme e sistemi operativi, essendo compatibile con più di 60 differenti configurazioni di hardware+SO.

aMule è totalmente libero, ed il suo codice sorgente viene pubblicato sotto la GPL, proprio come eMule; non contiene adware o spyware, come invece spesso accade in softwares P2P appartenenti a società.


aMule è costruito sul gruppo di strumenti wxWidgets (più propriamente wxWindows), che permette l'utilizzo su più piattaforme.

Tutti i requisiti necessari ad aMule sono elencati qui.

Storia

aMule nacque nel settembre 2003 come una costola del progetto xMule (propriamente conosciuto come lMule), benchè ora sia diventato qualcosa di molto diverso dal software che lo generò.

Caratteristiche

Caratteristiche comuni agli altri client *Mule

aMule possiede la maggiorparte delle funzioni comprese nel client eMule. Queste includono:

  • Supporto delle reti eD2k e Kademlia.
  • aMule è attualmente disponibile in 28 lingue.
  • Supporto del sistema di scambio fonti per trovare fonti per i files con più efficienza.
  • Supporto di code lunghe e del sistema dei crediti, che assicurano ad ognuno una maggior probabilità di ottenere i files voluti e premiano chi attivamente condivide con gli altri i propri.
  • Supporto dei trasferimenti in forma compressa e comunicazione tra server (usando zlib), che si traduce in trasferimenti più veloci dei files comprimibili e meno risorse richieste ai servers.
  • Supporto dell'identificazione sicura, il quale assicura che il tuo numero di identificazione-utente non può essere rubato per simulare la presenza del tuo client.
  • Sopporto per i Filtri_IP, che permettono di negare le connessioni al proprio computer da parte di IPs potenzialmente dannosi.
  • Ricerca con operatori Booleani (AND, OR, NOT).


  • You can have the traditional progress bar for transfers, percents completed or both.
  • aMule supports systrays for both Gnome, KDE and other compatible window managers. Of course, on Windows too.
  • Supports Online Signatures, so you can brag about using aMule.
  • Checks against aggressive clients.
  • Uses MD4 hashes to find sources and ensure that the file macthes the original copies of the file, in order to avoid corruption.
  • Intelligent Corruption Handler (ICH) and AICH helps to speed up the correction of corrupted parts.
  • Auto priorities and source management allow you to start many downloads without having to monitor them.
  • The Preview function allows you to look at your videos and archives before they are completed. For video previewing, MPlayer or Xine are recommended but Video Lan Client should work too.
  • Support for categories so that you can organize your downloads.
  • To find the files you want, aMule offers a lot of search possibilities, which are:
    • Servers search (local and global)
    • Kademlia nodes search
    • Integration in your favourite browser for easy click-and-download (with ed2k:// links).
  • Messaging and Friends system. You can send messages to other clients and add them as friends.
  • aMule supports updating the server list from an URL during run-time, at startup or as it connects to other clients.
  • PowerShare function: better handling of your shared files (known as Release).

aMule specific features

  • Multiplatform.
  • Proxy support.
  • Improved checks against aggressive clients.
  • Complete External Connections protocol from scratch.
  • aMule Daemon allows you to run a bare aMule client with no graphical interface and very low CPU and memory usage. Ideal for servers, people who usually control aMule remotely and those who just usually don't keep taking a look at how far downloads are going.
  • aMule Remote GUI to control your aMule remotely as if you where in front of it.
  • aMuleWeb for browser interface and amulwebDLG is a graphical interface to aMuleWeb. They also work both locally and from remote clients. You can control your aMule from anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection and a browser, no matter what hardware or operating system you use! ;)
  • PHP (specific implementation) support in aMuleWeb
  • The amulecmd command line interface and amulecmdDLG as a graphical command line interface both allow to remotely control aMule too. All of them work both locally and from remote clients. You can control your aMule remotely from anywhere as if you were in a shell!
  • Slot allocation allows you to specify to how many clients you wish to upload to at once. For example, if you have 20KB/s for your maximum upload, you can set slot allocation to 10KB/s which means that you will upload to two users with 10KB/s each.
  • Other utilities such as CAS, wxCAS, aLC, XAS, AMPS, etc.
  • Fast eD2k links handler at the bottom of every page (can be disabled on Preferences).
  • Run a command when a file is completed.
  • Save 10 sources on rare files when usefull (20 or less sources).
  • Filter search results.
  • Default file permissions for completed downloads.
  • Multiple filesystems support.
  • Version updates checks.

Planned features

  • Skins support.
  • EC library and API.
