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

Update 11/14/2004: Version 0.44d solves a problem with the new icons for Win98 user. If you use 0.44c and do not use Win98 there is no need to update.

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

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 and follow the download and installations instructions there.

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

I cannot start a search, if emule is not connected to a server, Why ? kademlia has a connection already?

[birk]

If kad is connected an you choose kad as method it should work.

maybe some bugs were fixed, I dont know... but for me and 0.44b works pretty good.

It works good for me too. 0.44c and 0.44d where mainly bugfixes but contains lots of new icons and what the devs calls eye candy. Does looks nice I think. No big new features but an futher development on AICH regarding clients sending bad chunks. :)
