emule 0.44c Released

[GATORIAN]

eMule is a open source filesharing client which is based on the eDonkey2000 network but offers more features than the standard client.eMule connects to the eDonkey network and is one of the best P2P (peer-to-peer, point-to-point, person-to-person) filesharing programs available today. It provides sharing of all kinds of media (video, audio, albums, pictures, documents, books, etc.) and software (applications, games, etc.). eDonkey combines the strengths of Napster, Gnutella (LimeWire), Direct Connect, FastTrack (Kazaa Lite K++, Clean Grokster, iMesh Light), SoulSeek and BitTorrent while avoiding their problems. eMule doesn't rely on a central server, yet searches are quick and your client doesn't get bogged down with endless search requests. You have the ability to search all the files being shared anywhere on the network. It automatically resumes interrupted transfers from alternate sources. The client also incorporates a new serverless network based on Kademlia.

Dear eMule users,

eMule 0.44c is released now, offering new and exciting features like:
Advanced Intelligent Corruption Handling (AICH) has been even more improved with automatically detecting clients which sent corrupt data and eventually banning them.
NTFS sparse files for more efficient use of free disk space for long time downloads of rare big files.
The GUI has been further improved. Lot of new icons and other eye candies added everywhere in the application.
The file hashing algorithm were replaced with high efficient assembler codes which leads to an improved hashing performance
The following has to be installed on Win9x/ME only -- it enables the Unicode functionality for eMule on those OSes.
Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95/98/ME Systems (MSLU) version 1.0 (http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=73BA7BD7-ED06-4F0D-80A4-2A7EEAEE17E2&displaylang=en)

Also, if you are running eMule on Win95 or Win98, make sure your system contains at least version 5.80.2614.3600 of Comctl32.dll (located in Windows-System folder). To update this DLL go to Platform SDK Comctl32 Redistributables 5.80.2614.3600 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cb2cf3a2-8025-4e8f-8511-9b476a8d35d2&DisplayLang=en) and follow the download and installations instructions there.

So - download the new eMule client - and have fun.
Your eMule-Team
