How to use eMule
I use eMule for a long time and I forgot that in the beginning I was a little confused. People keep asking questions, saying that eMule is difficult to use, so I decided to write this short guide, hopefully to make things easier.
Let’s say you want to download a song or an album or even a complete discography. You just installed eMule, you are excited about the whole concept, but you don’t know what to do. First of all, forget about all these buttons and options. It’s not even necessary to have a special user-name; just choose the directory where eMule will store your song. You do this by pressing the “Options” icon, going to “Directories” and browsing for the folder where you want your downloads to arrive. After that,
1. Ensure eMule servers are updated. Go to Options > Server, and mark the option “Auto-update server list at startup”. Then press the Search button; in eMule’s search page again forget most of the options and take care of the following:
2. At the “Name” input-box write what you want to download. If a song, write the name of the artist and some words of the title, e.g. Beatles Submarine. You don’t need to write the full title of the song. In fact, the less words you write, the more results you are going to have. You must write more words only if less is vague. E.g. If you write just “submarine” you will not find only Beatles.
3. At the “Type” box select “Audio”, if you want a single song, but select “Archive“, if you want an album or a complete discography.
4. At the “Method” box select “Kad Network” for your first search, and if you don’t find much, select “Global (servers)”.
5. Press “Start” to let your search begin. Results arrive, and here many people are confused even more, not knowing what to do with these results. Read carefully and you will see that it is not that difficult.
