EMULE Source May 13, 2002 A person called Merkur, he is not satisfied with the Edonkey2000 client at the time and firmly believes that he can make a better P2P software, so you will start development. He condensed a group of programmers originally played in other fields in his surroundings, the EMULE project was born. His goal is to keep Edonkey's advantages and extracts and add new features and make the graphical interface better. They can't even imagine that this thing will decide ...
From today, emule is already the world's largest and most reliable point-to-point document sharing client software. Thanks to Open source policies, many developers can contribute to this project, so that the release of new versions is more efficient.
What is EMULE? "Emule" This name comes from an animal - "", I don't know why he is very similar to him. :-)
Verycd version EMULE features VERYCD Chinese version not only inherits all the characteristics of the original English version, but also in the basis of using habits of Chinese netizens, the original complex professional software should be worn. To date, Verycd Chinese Emule is the most commonly used P2P software in the country, downloaded more than 3 million months per month, and more than 4 million users online! Verycd users can be downloaded at the fastest speed.
Verycd has its own EMULE development team and will become increasingly expanded. On the basis of maintaining the first time to synchronize with the official version, strive to make their own characteristics, put the P2P spirit to the land of Shenzhou!
Emule features advantages and features compared to other P2P software
The client uses multiple channels to search for downloaded data sources, ED2K, source exchange, and KAD together form a reliable network structure. Kad is now open at the open test phase, in the EMULE V0.42 and subsequent versions, Kad can be used. EMULE's queuing mechanism and uploading integral system helps motivate people to share and upload to others resources, so that they are easier and quickly downloading their own resources. EMULE is completely free. Official EMULE is also full] Any advertising software. I do this for fun and knowledge, not for money. Each download file will automatically check if it is damaged to ensure the correctness of the file. (FTP does not guarantee precise replication) Wisdom damage control helps quickly repair damaged parts. Auto Priority and Source Management System allow you to download a number of resources at a time without monitoring them. The preview feature allows you to view your video files before downloading. EMULE's Web Servers WEB Server allows you to quickly access data from your network. Category can be organized and managed in the download time. Looking for the resources you want, emule provides a wide range of search: Server Search (local and global), web search (Jigle and Filedonkey) and KAD networks (still tested). EMULE also allows you to make your search more flexible using very complex Bubin search. Using information and friend systems, you can send messages to other clients and you can add them as your friend. If you have a friend, you will see him (her) in your friends list. Use ǖ IRC guest, you can chat with other shared people around the world.
P2P definition KKP2P is an abbreviation of "peer-to-peer", Peer has "(status, ability, etc.)", "colleagues" and "partners". In this way, P2P can also be understood as the meaning of "partners' partners", or is called peerless networking. At present, it is believed that it has a high future in strengthening communication, document exchange, distribution calculation, etc.
KK is simple to say that P2P directly connects people to interact directly through the Internet. P2P makes communication on the network easily, more direct sharing and interaction, and truly eliminates middlemen. P2P is that people can connect directly to other users, exchange files, rather than connecting to the server as in the past. Another important feature of P2P is to change the Internet now with a big website-centric state, returning to "unintrovation" and return the power to the user. P2p seems to be very new, but just as B2C, B2B is to transplant the real world to the Internet, and P2P is not new. In real life, we all over the P2P mode or via telephone exchange and communication. KK even from the network, P2P is not a new concept, and P2P is the basis of the overall architecture of the Internet. The most basic protocol TCP / IP of the Internet does not have the concept of clients and servers, and all devices are all ends of communication. Ten years ago, all Internet systems have functions of servers and clients. Of course, those architectures that have been developed in TCP / IP have indeed used the client / server structure: browser and web servers, mail clients, and mail servers. However, for the server, they are still equal. Take Email as an example, there is no huge, unique mail server to process all Email, but the email server equal to each other is transferred to the corresponding server. In addition, Email between users has been accessing to the channel.
KK is in fact, many services on the network can be classified into P2P. Instant messaging systems such as ICQ, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Pager, Microsoft MSN Messenger and Domestic Tencent QQ are the most popular P2P applications. They allow users to communicate and exchange information, exchange files. The information exchange between users is not straightforward, and there is a need to have a central server to coordinate. However, these systems do not have a search for such a very important function of sharing a large amount of information. The lack of this feature may be in why instant messages have long been a long time but is not one of the reasons such as NAPSTER.
GNU GPL EMULE follows the GNU General Public License, and anyone can use it for free installation, and you can publish the Emule Verycd version under the terms and conditions that match GPL replication, distribution and modification.
GPL Agreement Brief: Generally, you don't have to be patient to read the original GPL protocol (click here to read the Simplified Chinese non-official translation), because GPL does not pay a few principles:
Make sure the software is released from beginning to end, and the protection of development results are not stolen for commercial delivery. Any set of software, as long as it uses the source program of third-party software protected by the GPL protocol, and is issued to non-developers, the software itself automatically becomes a GPL protected and constrained entities. That is, it must open the source code.
GPL is roughly a left copyright (COPYLEFT, or "anti-copyright", "copyright belonging left", "copyright is not", "copyright", etc.). You can remove all the original copyright information, as long as you keep the open source, and follow the source code, the binary version is attached to the GPL license, so that the future can be clearly known for the authorization information of this software. The essence of GPL is, as long as the software gets the user to get free space as much as possible, so that the software will develop faster and better. Regardless of the form of software, you must attach the source code at the same time. For example, in the Web, you must download the same page to the binary version (if any), clearly provide the link to the source download. If published in the form of the disc, you must attach the disc of the source file. Develop or maintain companies or individuals that follow GPL protocols developed, they can charge users to users. But it is also an old saying that the software must be provided free of charge, and the source code cannot be bundled with the service or any variable bundle sales.
