Oddly enough, I was just thinking the same thing about Winamp.
it really whips the Llama's ass
Shit, eMule still exists? The only thing I remember about using it centuries ago, was the high chance of downloading viruses, and getting shitty rips of single music tracks.
Haven't heard of eMule for ages lmao x)
Well you can see there are two versions in the emule homepage: v0.50a and v0.60d. The latter is the community one. You can find its source code at https://github.com/irwir/eMule.
I have used both on Windows 10 and now mainly use the v0.60d. As far as I can tell, it is working as intended.
I suggest to use mldonkey. The UX is very different so it takes some time to accustom to it but it is very powerful software:
It works very good for niche stuff, especially if you have a community around the stuff being shared
Please don't use P2P file sharing.
I use MLDonkey 3.1.7 (July 2020) with debian 12.
I used it on Ubuntu server, because I wanted to cross share my torrents on that network just to keep it alive, however it had a memory leak and would eat all of 32GB of RAM in couple of days. Had to give it up. I even tried to compile it myself, because I read somewhere that one of the libraries caused the issue, but it didn't solve it for me. It's a shame it's not in active development anymore.
Well, I have running mldonkey for months non-stop without problems, only shutting up the system for updates. I used precompiled .deb from debian sid (I think it is not available anymore, but I am sharing through ed2k/kad). I am sorry that you had this problem, maybe it is because it is Ubuntu and not debian, who knows.
Using amule on Linux since almost a year, it was so long from the last time I remember, it works fine.
Short answer: why?
Long answer: Try using a different client that connects to the same P2P network. The most recently updated one is aMule at "only" 2 years. Most of them are much older.
