            What’s the availability for movies and shows like?

            Recent stuff? FHD/4K? Availability of more niche content? I am just curious. I used to eMule way back when, but I eventually switched to torrent since they seemed to have offered better retention of older/niche content and high availability of new content.

              Well usually FHD, good availability of recent and old stuff, there is a good community of French, Italian and Spanish stuff with English sub. Probably if you prefer 4k and above, torrent is better.

                That’s good. But you’d have to know what you are looking for (that’s what I remember from using eMule back in the day), right?

                I don’t mind SD if the content is good. Just wondering what is available.

                Cheers!

                  Just about everything. I do see recent anime episodes on there, so it is reasonably up to date.

                  I recognize Chinese and Japanese content too.

                  The search in the eMule program is the way to go.

                  Just don’t expect blazing fast downloads because often it really is just one source on someone’s PC somewhere.

      People still use the eMule client but nowadays the community version is the version that gets some updates

      https://www.emule-project.com/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&rm=download

      https://github.com/irwir/eMule/releases/

      But technically any eMule / KAD compatible client can connect to the servers and download/upload to users there e.g. Mldonkey is another client being used.

      It’s been a few years since I was last active on there but back then there was still a healthy amount of users and activity, I suspect it’s still going strong.
