By a eMule Mod (eMule modifications) an advancement of the software eMule is understood.

eMule is an sourceopen file sharing Client for the eDonkey2000-Netzwerk. The GNU license mentioned that the source code of the Mods must be freely accessible, therefore can also to everyone, which knows the programming language C++, own features insert.

Among the most well-known ones rank (in alphabetical order):

Features, which distinguish eMule Mods opposite the original Client

  • NeoMule experiments at present with coding. The goal is not anonymity or security but going around Providerseitigem Throttling of P2P-Daten similarly as it the most well-known BitTorrent Clients pursues. Critics object however the fact that Provider could switch then simply to stupid Throttling which for the customer would be still worse. In addition the danger of the emergence exists to each other incompatible eDonkey2000-Clients. Since also the Mods sourceopen is, this extension was transferred relatively fast to other Mods such as Sion.
  • Some Mods control the Webcache feature. This permits the Clients, in the Client to Client Datentransfer to the Proxyserver of the respective Providers to along-use related to the downloading Client. The downloading Client informs thereupon other well-known Clients, which use the same Proxy that perhaps on the Proxy of buffered data are. In this kind theoretically a faster distribution of the data can be reached. Also the Provider profits to data from Webcache, since they must pay usually for Traffic to other Providern, with this procedure however to be saved.
  • Almost all Mods controls a better source management.
  • The possibility for better release of files over changed priority attitudes are often made possible.
  • Most Mods has a substantially better recognition of Leecher and Community Mods as the original Client. Over the Erkennungsmechanismen and the kind to the punishment of Clients identified as "“bath"” however disagreement in the Modder community prevails.
  • Also changes to the GUI are not uncommon.

Malicious Mods

Malicious Mods (Leecher Mods) tries to use weaknesses in minutes and to provide an advantage in the net. In addition, they can contain Spyware, Adware or the like. This malicious Mods is mostly filtered by the original eMule Client. There are also "„normal "“eMule Mods, which used more aggressive filter techniques, in order to proceed against malicious Mods. In the official eMule forum constantly to malicious Mods one refers and one describes, how one can remove these from the own system. eMule starting from version 0.47a avoids even Spam Mods, thus Mods, the undesired message sends away (to the Beipsiel eMule FX, ZamBoR 2 or DI-Emule V.2.0)

Community Mods are particularly reluctantly seen. Such Mods prefers high-loading to users of the same Mods. That is to lead to the fact that if sufficient user uses the Mod a kind Community is developed and the Downloadgeschwindigkeit precipitates opposite other Mods or the Originalclients on the average more highly, which attracts then new users. Again and again one in forums user can meet the Downloadraten higher of a Mod to promise itself. In the long run they fall thereby also into the category Leecher Mod.

Most malicious Mods is Community Mods. In the meantime there are also Communities the own servers operates (for example BigBang). These bring the danger with itself to independent and their users to carry forward sometime, similarly as it MusicCity (today Morpheus) years ago in the OpenNap network did.

Bad-willing Mods is also such, whose source code is not revealed. This means not only a license injury but also a increased safety risk for the user.

The best example of a malicious Mods is Emcrypt of a company around Bernhard counsel. Here to reach the fears of the user purposefully used over with not existing safety features (see www.emcrypt.de.tf) an installation and/or a use by the user. Emcrypt changes among other things important Registry attitudes around the installation of other Clients to prevent.

eMule pluses

eMule pluses is no Mod, but a Fork. That is, it follows in the development no longer the development of eMule separates represents a splitting off, which is independently developed further. Thus explains themselves for example that eMule pluses until today (conditions: March 2006) with the Kad net to be connected cannot.

Other

  • Spymule is tried a Mod that the borders of anonymity in the eDonkey2000-Netzwerk to point out.
  • The emule.de Mod is not, how often accepted, the original Client. Instead it is based on the version 0.44b become outdated strongly and contains additionally Webcache.
