Due to a bug in the PeerCache implementation, we released a hotfix.
The little changelog follows.
Dear eMule users,
You had to wait quite a long time for this release, though you'll see that the time waiting was worth it.
The highlights of the 0.43 series of eMule are:
- PeerCache. A technology developed by Joltid Ltd. which lets you download/upload files from ISP cache servers to reduce traffic and to improve download speeds.
- HTTP eD2K links. eMule can now download files concurrently from eD2K network as well as from HTTP servers to improve download speed.
- Windows XP firewall support to help users with LowID problems.
- More security and efficiency in dealing with malicious, bots or just flawed clients.
- ZZ's DownloadManager. Get the file(s) you want even faster.
- Improved ZZ's UploadBandwidthThrottler. Smoother upload and lower overhead.
- Many improvements in SMIRC client.
- And a full set of bug fixes and other improvements.
- LinkCreator. A small stand alone tool for creating eD2K links for particular files and adding HTTP sources.
- VideoLAN Client 0.7.2 eMule partfile plugin. A plug in for the well known video player which lets you preview eMule partfiles more efficiently.
So - download the new eMule client - and have fun.
